This. Is EPIC. that just shows Apple and Jobs isnt to be messed with and. Demands respect. I along with everyone wondered why Apple wasn't doing anything. The calm before the storm.

I hope you mean EPIC FAIL! This is an inexcusable act of Jobs throwing his weight around and preferential treatment from the government unless there is some specific evidence we don't know about that demonstrates Apple's proprietary intellectual property was stolen from teh phone and was about to be disseminated [free or for sale]. My personial and prejudiced opinion is that Jobs is being true to character [a bully] and we should stick up for the 'little' guy on this one.

A couple items missed in the post were. 1. It's a felony because the value is over $900 (because they paid $5k). 2. Typically computers can't be seized in a search if they're used for work purposes for journalism. From other articles I read they say that it doesn't look like charges will be pressed on the journalist or Gawker Media, although charges may be pressed against the person who found and sold the property that did not belong to him. It's amazing how much publicity this has received, if it wasn't for the criminal charges I would think it may have been planned.

Another thing we can learn from this article that wasn't mentioned: If you see an Apple iPhone or Apple anything laying around, don't pick it up or touch it... just run! Actually if you looked at it you're probably already in trouble. We may all go to jail for looking at the pics posted on the internet, gee thanks Gizmodo!

I agree completely. This is borderline ridiculous. Now, because of a careless employee of Apple, a non-culpable party is having his house raided and privacy invaded. Whatever happened to accountability? I say a counter-suit is in order

ABSOLUTELY AGREED! This is completely a transfer of blame. Nowhere was this journalist held to a confidentiality contract with apple not to publish information about it, provided he didn't actually take the device from Apple's premises. I AM mad at Apple and Steve jobs for this disproportionate response.

Apple are f*****g cowards!!! They can't pursue somebody for their own mess! God I hate this stupid company!!!

Jobs is throwing tons of money just trying to wipe his own employee's ass, LMAO

You don't think this guy is so fired? Unless of course it was an engineered leak... Steve probably has him in his Cupertino basement tied to a chair with water pouring over him and electrodes clipped to his testicles! Every iPhone dims and drops calls when Jobs turns the juice up!

Isn't anyone a little concerned about Apple's hunger for power and authority? I mean, I think people should tell Apple they're a computer company, not a country with a dictator. If Apple was in charge of our country we'd be a police state having goons busting down people's doors for no reason. If you were caught with a Microsoft computer or an Android phone you'd be sent to a camp or "disappear" suddenly. Let's send Apple to North Korea! After all they both live in a box you aren't allowed to step out of, HA!

Makes me think back to the days when Apple introduced the now famous commercial based on "1984". Maybe it wasn't about freeing us from the oppression of PC's, but a peek at Apple's future plans.

Yeah, if supposedly Google is "Do no Evil", then Apple is "Do every Evil and worship iJobs" I don't really blame him for trying to get ahead and get his company ahead, it is his job as CEO to do so, I just blame consumers for making it possible for him to do what he does and the competition for not effectively fighting back and illuminating the other consumer options...

That's funny lol. Does anyone see the relation between Apple and Umbrella from Resident Evil? I'm ready to pwn some zombies anyways...

You guys got it all wrong! Jobs is just "buying" Gizmodo out... Y'all remember that Simpsons episode, when Bill Gates came over to "Buy out" Homer and his internet business, right? He tells his 2 goons to "Buy him out boys" and they came in and trashed his placed turned over the furniture, smashed plants, and busted up his computer. Then Gates looks at Homer and says something like, " What? You didn't think I got rich by spending money, did you?"

I hope we see a South Park or Simpsons parody about this...

Being the primary tool for communication, cellphone is indispensable for everyone. Recently, lot of cell phone users were shocked on the news regarding the additional cell phone charges. The phenomenon called “bill shock,” where individuals unexpectedly discover out their cell phone bill is hugely inflated, has infuriated millions of people. The cellular carrier market and federal regulators have just reached an agreement that could keep it from happening anymore, as companies have decided to start giving more advanced notice. This will save many people from getting payday loans to pay for unexpected cell phone bills.
