Apple Will Fix Your iPhone 5's Sleep Button for Free—If You Qualify

Is your iPhone’s sleep/wake button finicky? You might be in luck. On Friday, Apple announced a new program to fix a small number of iPhone 5s with faulty buttons. Just input your phone’s serial number on this page to see if you qualify. And if you do, be prepared to be without your phone for a few days.

The repair process is pretty straightforward. Starting May 2, just take your phone to an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider, where they’ll verify it (again) and ship it back to Apple. If your phone has any other problems—say, a broken screen—that will get in the way of replacing the bad button, you’ll have to fix that problem first, or Apple will fix it for you for a probably pretty hefty fee. Good luck! [The Loop]

Apple unveils iPhone 5 sleep/wake button fix program

Apple has initiated a repair program for a subset of its iPhone 5 devices that may have issues with the sleep/wake button on the top of the unit. The company says "a small percentage" of the units, which were manufactured between the debut of the smartphone on September 21, 2012 and March of 2013, are prone to have the issue (not caused by abuse or other factors). If a buyer’s iPhone 5 has a qualifying serial number, Apple will fix the unit and supply a loaner iPhone while it is being repaired….

New White House Petition For Net Neutrality

Bob9113 (14996) writes "On the heels of yesterday’s FCC bombshell, there is a new petition on the White House petition site titled, ‘Maintain true net neutrality to protect the freedom of information in the United States.’ The body reads: ‘True net neutrality means the free exchange of information between people and organizations. Information is key to a society’s well being. One of the most effective tactics of an invading military is to inhibit the flow of information in a population; this includes which information is shared and by who. Today we see this war being waged on American citizens. Recently the FCC has moved to redefine "net neutrality" to mean that corporations and organizations can pay to have their information heard, or worse, the message of their competitors silenced. We as a nation must settle for nothing less than complete neutrality in our communication channels. This is not a request, but a demand by the citizens of this nation. No bandwidth modifications of information based on content or its source.’"

Make Your Own Delicious Ramen That’s Even Cheaper Than Instant

Make Your Own Delicious Ramen That's Even Cheaper Than Instant

Instant ramen is a poor shadow of the noodles you get at a ramen shop. Now you can make better-than-instant ramen at home for even less than those cheap packets you find at the grocery store.

Not Quite Nigella’s Lorraine Elliott shows us how relatively simple this is. Besides flour, salt, and water, she recommends using lye water or Kansui, which gives ramen its distinctive chewy texture and color. If you can’t find lye water (an Asian grocery might be your best bet), you can substitute eggs and baking soda.

It’s also easiest if you have a pasta machine to cut the noodles, but if you have the patience, you can cut them by hand. It might be well worth it:

The resulting noodles are absolutely wonderful. You know exactly what goes into them and they have a wonderfully springy chew to them and a texture that cannot be achieved with instant ramen. A batch made with lye water costs less than 50c for four serves so it’s quite feasible to make it for less than you would pay for instant ramen. I served these in soup as well as stir fried and they retained their springy texture perfectly cooked both ways.

Some of us could probably eat ramen around the clock and never get sick of it, especially when there are so many ways to make it.
