I am NOT happy with my Apple products this week. From an iPhone that had to be restored to factory settings, to an iPad with a dying battery down to an Apple Watch that restarted in German, it's not been a happy week. I try to answer the question of whether these new plans by AT&T, Verizon and Apple are a good deal to get a new iPhone each year. I did a lot of research, read terms and conditions, even called Apple on the phone to make sure my math was sound so you might want to check out the spreadsheet. The research was meant to help you understand the options, not to tell you what the right answer was for you and your family. in Dumb Question Corner Lynn asks whether there's a way to encrypt her Time Machine backup without starting over and losing her history and Bart gives her a great answer that extends to other backup services as well. In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart introduces a new series called Programming by Stealth with episode 1 of X.
