5 shuttle buses chartered by Google, Apple apparently vandalized on I-280, possibly with pellet gun
Shuttle buses carrying Apple and Google employees were apparently vandalized Tuesday while traveling to and from the South Bay, officials said. No injuries were reported.
Five buses driving in the northbound and southbound directions of Interstate 280 between Highway 84 and Highway 85 were damaged during the Tuesday morning and evening commute, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Four buses were chartered by Apple and one by Google, the officer said. The Apple campus is located off I-280 in Cupertino. Google headquarters is in Mountain View off Highway 101.
According to Montiel, several bus windows were damaged and cracked, possibly by pellet guns, BB guns or rocks.
According to an article on TechCrunch
In response, we've learned that Apple has rerouted the bus routes for employees living in San Francisco, adding 30-45 minutes of commute time each way, as the company works with authorities to see what exactly is going on.

Even with the phones that do have SDcard slots, they're not exactly easy to access. They frequently require taking your case off your phone (which so many people use for drop protection), taking the back off, taking the battery out, and maybe also taking the SIM card out. The SDcard slot is very nice for having the possibility of memory expansion at market prices for flash memory (instead of jacked-up prices for some proprietary bullshit, or just being forced to buy your phone with all the storage you think you'll need at the onset), but it's really not meant for quick, hotplug access. I think there's (or were) some phones that have the SD slot on the side so you can access it by just taking off a little cover, but those are a tiny minority I think.
