I like the way Apple are using the disaster in Japan as an excuse to
delay releasing it there, what a joke!! Not the disaster, Apple.
I believe that they have been actually making a difference in a small
but significant way...

Apple’s Role in Japan During the Tohoku Earthquake
From an email sent to Kevin Rose by a friend working for Apple in Japan:
You know how in disaster movies, people on the street gather around
electronic shops that have TVs in the display windows so they can stay
informed with what is going on? In this digital age, that’s what the
Tokyo Apple stores became. Staff brought out surge protectors and
extension cords with 10s of iOS device adapters so people could charge
their phones & pads and contact their loved ones. Even after we finally
had to close 10pm, crowds of people huddled in front of our stores to
use the wifi into the night, as it was still the only way to get access
to the outside world.
