| Did Apple Lose An iPhone 5 Prototype In A Bar?
Quote:
CNET is reporting that Apple has lost another iPhone in another bar. This time, it appears to be an iPhone 5 that's gone missing. (We say appears because CNET neither confirms this, nor provides any photos of the phone.)
Of course, Apple lost an iPhone 4 in a bar last year, too. Am I the only one reminded of a line from The Hunt for Red October?
This time the phone was lost at a bar called Cava 22 in San Francisco's Mission District. Apple apparently contacted police about the "priceless" phone that had gone missing, and even gave them a location for it, where a resident admitted being at Cava 22 the night it went missing. Nonetheless, the police (and Apple investigators) failed to turn it up. Apple employees even apparently offered the man money for the phone, no questions asked, without success. Apple did not file a police report.
CNET postulates that the phone may have been sold on Craigslist for $200. But it doesn't provide any evidence of that, nor does it name any sources, which is kind of odd. But based on what it does reveal, my guess is that it has a source within the San Francisco Police Department. There's a lot of inside information that only a cop or prosecutor would know. Unless one of the Apple investigators is talking.
But the takeaway is that the phone is still out there, and has been since late July. Do you have photos or evidence of the phone, or know more about what happened at Cava 22? We'd love to hear from you.
And seriously. Apple. Real talk: Tell your people to keep those priceless prototype phones the hell away from tequila joints.
| Really!!!

With all these geniuses they have working for apple, you'd think they'd be smart enough to not lose their secret operation.

The Mission is like Kitsilano. I'd be more impressed if it was lost in the Tenderloin (like the DTES)
Then that'd make some real news.
"Are Apple employees so underpaid they have to moonlight as prostitutes?" or "Has Steve Jobs' departure led to a series of Apple staffers becoming drug addicts to fight the anxiety over the company's future?"

I smell bullshit. Every phone should have mobile me so it's easy to track it down. Obviously Apple didn't think of that. Or did they?

You guys said it! Apple Cries About Samsung and Motorola's Patent "Monopoly"
Quote:
Company says its rivals are being "anticompetitive" by trying to defend themselves with IP
In a scene straight out of Bizarro World, Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) lawyers are crying foul about Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (SEO:005930) and recent Google Inc. (GOOG) acquisitions Motorola's allegedly "anticompetitive" use of patents.
| DailyTech - Apple Cries About Samsung and Motorola's Patent "Monopoly"
After being a little bitch about their patents and trying to block out Samsung in europe for having a tablet, they are now crying like babies they are.
Hipocracy much?
This what somebody else in another forum wrote. Quote: |
In my opinion, and it is just an opinion, Apple is the spoilt brat of the tech world who kicks and screams until it gets what it wants. That's no way to raise a responsible child, and that's what it comes down to. When Apple learns to play nicely with society (i.e. the rest of the tech industry), they can have their sweeties back. Until then, they need to be taught discipline.

Nothing but PR Posted via RS Mobile | I wonder where this comes from. They're just regular people who are good at a particular thing, which is nothing different than employees at Company X.
Have you ever lost your phone?
