As spotted by 9to5Mac, Apple will trim its iPhone return window from 30 days to 14 as of tomorrow.
Posted in: Today's ChiliAs spotted by 9to5Mac, Apple will trim its iPhone return window from 30 days to 14 as of tomorrow. Carriers had previously offered 14 days, so now at least it’s consistent across the board. Still, for Apple Store customers, that’s less than half the time to decide if parallax effect is right for you. [9to5Mac]

Apple keeps adding channels to its Apple TV set-top box. That’s great, except it also means icon clutter and wasted screen real estate for all those channels you don’t use. Thankfully, Apple just came out with a way to fix …

Apple has in the past been sued on multiple occasions regarding its in-app purchase system. While the system itself is perfectly legit, parents have found to their horror that their kids have racked up thousands of dollars in in-app purchases without their knowledge.
To Apple’s credit, they have since offered refunds to those who might have been affected by this issue. Apple has also reportedly been trying to get this issue down pat in line with the FCC, and it looks like they are taking steps in iOS 7.1 to ensure that customers cannot say that they were not warned beforehand.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced yet another way to save money when purchasing multiple licenses of Windows Vista. With the release of Vista, we’ve seen Microsoft take extra steps to make Vista more accessible to consumers with multiple purchasing options.
The new way to save money is called the “Windows Vista Additional License Program.” This program will help people save money by giving them 10% off of suggested retail prices when they purchase additional licenses, provided that they have purchased a full or upgrade version of Windows Vista from retail, or pre-installed on a new machine.
While it doesn’t seem like a lot, the savings will definitely add up if you have multiple computers that you’d like to install Vista on, and users will be able to use that 10% discount for up to five additional licenses.
To put this in perspective, if you need to purchase three additional copies of Home Premium at $239, your savings would be $71. If you needed to purchase 4 additional copies of Vista Ultimate at $399 each, your savings would be $159.
You may recall a previous discount program that was announced earlier this year called the Family pack. It’s yet another more affordable way for multiple computer households to make the upgrade. The deal is, if you purchase Vista Ultimate for $399, you can get two licenses for Home Premium for $49.99 each.
It’s nice to see that Microsoft is willing to make things a bit easier for people as multiple computer households are not that uncommon. However, I think Microsoft needs to take another look at their upgrade pricing, because as it stands, upgrading is more expensive than purchasing it right from the start.

We recently reported on a story about how a toddler saved his mom’s life by using her iPhone to FaceTime her friend who then called 911 who arrived to help her in time. That was a great example of technology used to help save a life, and now we are hearing of another story in which an iPhone was used to save a soldier’s life in Afghanistan.
According to the report, Staff Sgt. Shaun Frank was serving his second tour of duty when he and his team encountered a suicide bomber who then proceeded to blow himself up. The ensuing explosion sent shrapnel all over the place and in every direction. (more…)

With the iPhone 5c, it was Apple’s attempt at releasing a more affordable iPhone handset. It wasn’t exactly that much cheaper, meaning that customers who wanted an iPhone would much rather pay a little more to get the latest hardware, rather than slightly less for older technology, which might explain why the phone is a flop.
However it seems that despite the apparent failure of the iPhone 5c, Apple still has its eye on emerging markets such as India, and according to a recent report from The Economic Times, it has been suggested that Apple is looking to open up more retail stores in India to help push the iPhone to customers living in the region.
