This whole thing is just stupid. I hope Apple isn't behind any of the
prosecution of this person, their employee, for loosing the phone. I also hope
they're not behind the prosecution of the person who sold it, or the person who
blogged what it's advancements where over their most recent model.
If what I've heard is true and they handed out hundreds of these phones
to employees for testing, Apple is the only one to blame for any of this.
Stupidity is not a defense.
If apple handed out hundreds of these phones to employees for testing
(not sure, just a rumor), they expected this to happen. Apple isn't stupid.
Think about it. How much did this media blitz cost them? The words out on what
the new phone might do and it hasn't cost them a dime in advertising.
Their under the cover media stint might have got out of hand, but do
you think someone is loosing any sleep over it?
I'd love to be on the inside and see if anyone is getting promoted.
