No inheritance doesn't compel Apple to unlock that inherited property. Imagine it like a safe. You might inherit a safe but there is no obligation on the manufacturer to help you unlock it.
That's a bit of a harsh comparison. Stuff is the online format of all of Fairfax New Zealand's newspapers, some of which occasionally produce decent stories. Stuff is mostly just shitty poorly researched journalism rather than the Daily Mail's sensationalised tabloid bullshit.
Self proclaimed "Thought Leader" and "Digital Prophet" sounds rather egomaniacal.
I just assume anyone with titles like that is trying to sell synergy and snake oil.
There's some interesting technical history behind some of the emergency number choices:
999 in the UK (from 1937) was chosen because public payphone could be easily modified to make it a free call.
111 in New Zealand (from 1958) was chosen because the system was implemented using British Post Office equipment that already supported 999. But New Zealand phones pulsed in reverse so 111 on a New Zealand phone produced the same pulse as 999 on a British phone.
000 in Australia (from 1961) was chosen because 0 was already used for trunk access. On an automated rural exchange, 0 would connect you to a main centre. In remote communities it was 00. This meant that dialing 000 through an existing remote exchange would at least connect you to an operator in a main centre.
In the case of Australia/New Zealand the recommendation is to do 5 Back Blows then 5 Chest Thrusts. My understanding is that it's believed to be similarly effective but has less risk of causing internal injuries.
There are a couple other interesting variations from the default. Having a border (Republic of Congo, using a map rather than a coat of arms (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras), and additional imagery that runs over the edge (Brazil, New Zealand, Portugal, and Sweden).
I'm well aware of the nature of, and reason for the ANZAC day commemorations. The irony was that an event that served to define New Zealand and Australia's national identities, is also one of British Empires greatest failures.
In New Zealand and Australia, the landings at Gallipoli are commemorated with a national holiday (ANZAC day, 25 April). I've always found it ironic that what is probably our most important holiday is a commemoration of one of Britain's greatest blunders.
Why just celebrate Science? In New Zealand our banknotes feature people famous for all kinds of achievements: $5 - Sir Edmund Hillary (Climber), $10 - Kate Sheppard (Woman's Suffrage), $50 - Sir Āpirana Ngata (Māori Culture), $100 - Lord Ernest Rutherford (Nuclear Physics).
