MOBILE, Ala. - Apple is giving to help those affected by Superstorm Sandy. CEO Tim Cook announced thru email that Apple employees and customers raised millions towards relief efforts, and added that Apple can always do more.
The tech company donated $2.5 million dollars for Sandy relief. Additional millions were raised thru a donation link on Apple's home page.

From helping others to protecting yourself: A new iPhone case called the Spraytect has been created with a sleek little compartment that holds pepper spray.
Users just snap a can of spray on the back, and if ever in danger, release a safety clip, hold it horizontally, and press a button on the side of the phone, much like taking a picture.
The Spraytect comes in pastel pink and blue, and has several safety features that prevent accidental firing. Check it out at spraytect.com
