I was annoyed at my phone this morning when the alarm didn't go off. This
annoyance grew when I realized that the phone was refusing to power up, and is
now a brick. There is no identifiable reason for this as it has not suffered any
problems, trauma, or a recent OS upgrade, so this is apparently just one of
those random things. This is an iPhone (I've already taken abuse for this, so
lay off), and for some reason I ended up with third-party insurance, rather than
AppleCare, so now I have to worry that getting it fixed or replaced will be a
hassle. Fingers crossed that this won't be more of a headache than necessary.
