Didn't mean to imply that being able to charge your devices and watch what's happening on the news isn't important. I know from experience (several different multi-day power outages) how useful those are.

Just pointing out that there are probably many stores in Japan doing the same for people in need and that this isn't really news except that it took place in an Apple store.

I have no doubt there are others doing similar things, but this is the first story of it's kind I've seen. Personally, I could care less if it was Apple, or Dell, or Hello Kitty, it's interesting (and heartwarming) to see this kind of story about people using the resources they have at hand helping others in need.

I would rather see this story with the Apple headline than not see it just because of the Apple headline.
