Yesterday my iphone 5s randomly decided to not power on. I tried many things including holding the power button, plugging it in, etc. You know, the usual stuff. I thought I had tried everything but one of the phone gurus in my department told me the trick to recovering: hold the home and power button together for 15-30 seconds and it will power on. Eureka! That sure worked out great. So fast forward to later that evening when I tell this to the wife and she in total GEICO commercial fashion tells me ‘everyone knows that’. WHAAT? I unfortunately did not have a come back: ‘well did you know that X blah blah blah was not Y but Z?’. Ultrageek fail…
