Yet again, another story showing how Apple are an evil company.
- ernexbcn0
the guy who found the iPhone didn't tried to return it to the owner under reasonable attempts like California law requires, even knowing who the owner was (they went to his Facebook using the iPhone before Apple remotely wiped it). They could have return it to the bar where it was found, since the Apple engineer called many times asking if it was returned.
Then, this guy sold it to Gizmodo for 5 thousand dollars, and Gizmodo basically made fun of the guy who lost it and Apple.
You don't fuck with Jobs.

^^ but, it's kinda like the queen farting. you know she does...but, nobody has ever heard it. except for maybe a few people and they'll never tell you about it. and you know, like all girl farts, it will kinda smell like ham for some reason.

At some point I guess bloggers have to rise to the same level of responsibility as mainstream news...

never thought i'd say this, but i'm starting to get pretty tired of apple's pretentiousness. it's a fucking phone for crying out loud...get over yourselves already. it's not like it's some huge secret that a 4g phone is on its way.
anyone else share these sentiments?

So did Steve Jobs personally sic the cops on them?
Isn't it more like the cops looked at the situation and then decided what to do on their own?

I'm disappointed with Apple. I would hope they'd have gone in with a matt black Apple helicopter and Ninjas wearing Jonathon Ive designed techno-jumpsuits and gotten the thing back themselves.

lets do this:
You lose a important file of the restyling of a big client. Some dude finds it, and sells it. You would try to get it back before anybody else start stealing ideas from it, no? And you would like to know who found, why it was sold and if was really 'found' instead of stolen, no?

Psssh. This gives Gizmodo more exposure than it could ever want. Small price to pay.

You come up with concepts what is just and what isn't and stories about corporate bullying while it's California law that says if you found something, you are obliged to return it.
In other countries/states maybe you own what you found, not in CA. Period.

Can someone do a hitler parody of this thing please. I need a giggle.
