What a turnaround! Just a few days ago everyone was highly sympathetic towards Apple losing one of their most valued secrets (not really all that much though) and boycotting Gizmodo and everything. Now with even Jon Stewart mocking them, calling them Big Brother and asking them to look in the mirror, this has turned into a major PR disaster for Apple. IMO, if they don't respond quickly and positively, this could turn…
@sheep: Please leave Hacker News.
This is great. Apple isn't the company I fell in love with. Can anyone say that this still represents the Apple we know today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USn5t5nQWU8
Sounds like the Apple I know and love allright :)
For what it's worth I'm going to Google I/O this year and not WWDC. Market be damned, my philosophy compels me to seek out open. And nowadays Google is out-opening Apple.
If it was stolen then Gizmodo has broken the law.
If the phone was lost and Gizmodo did not attempt to return the phone then Gizmodo has broken the law.
It appears that Apple reported the lost/stolen phone to the DA. We don't know when. It may have been before or after the story broke.
Frankly, this whole story is overblown. It should strictly be a legal matter but it has turned into a TMZ/Valleywag story.
AT&T, Google, and Facebook know 100X more about me than Apple.
It sounds like you're bringing up an unrelated point to deflect attention from Apple's actions. That is not appropriate!
There are a couple errors in Jon Stewart's reporting. We don't know if the phone was lost or stolen. If it was stolen then Gizmodo has broken the law. If the phone was lost and Gizmodo did not attempt to return the phone then Gizmodo has broken the law. It appears that Apple reported the lost/stolen phone to the DA. We don't know when. It may have been before or after the story broke. Frankly, this whole story is ove…
Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one. But you guys are busting down doors in Palo Alto while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes! What the fuck is going on?! It's all mixed up! At least Apple doesn't charge you $80 to change your desktop background on a netbook. But otherwise, I agree. Apple is hurting the field -- locking down hardware, mandating woefully outdated legacy programming languages, a…
Hmm, I think Jon took a few too many creative liberties here for the sake of entertainment. 1. According to Gizmodo the door was broken in because the journalist wasn't at home. He was having dinner in a restaurant, arrived later when the search was already in progress. The authorities acted respectfully with his belongings, etc. There is a huge difference between ringing the bell a few times and breaking the door wh…
Why do so many people seem to fixate on the door?
