Apple Saves!
Being the resident Apple fanatic, I just had to post this-- iPod Saves Soldier's Life:
"My wife’s uncle works in a military hospital and told me about this. Its pretty amazing. Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor. Fortunately, Kevin suffered no wound."
Can a Zune do that? I doubt it.

All I can say is, it had to be good for something. So, I hear now that Apple has a contract to beef up Humvees with iPhones.

PS: Instapundit linked to another story on the same incident. His comment: "In the old days, we had to use Bibles for that." Heh.
