Lousy analogy Tom. You act as if you have not read any of what has
been written about this item.
The fact is the item was left by absent minded techie at bar.
Item was turned into bar tender who has no idea whose it is. (I
wonder how many folks had been there that night and had phones?)
Good faith attempts were made to return said item to Apple, but
because of Apples own compartmentalization no one knew what they were
talking about.
I cant remember how the Gizmodo guy got it at that point but he did,
he then did a review and took it apart analyzed etc. etc.
When he had it back together and working he sent it back.
It is only after the fact that they have raided the guys house and
not charged him with anything. I wonder what the search warrant said?
You have to lay part of the blame here at Apple for being careless
with their tech stuff, and being a little paranoid. This is not the
first time someone has lost a prototype and someone else got it to
look at and review.
This would make it one of the first times that the reviewer has been
criminalized for someone elses careless behavior.
Is the Gizmodo guy totally innocent here, I don't think so, but he
saw a chance to be one of the first to see review and look at a
prototype of Iphone.
But I also see Apple going over the top here and making themselves
look really really stupid and heavy handed.
Especially since they had the phone back already.
And I would venture to say if this had been a Windows Mobile 7 phone
that had had this happen to it, you would be jumping up and down
saying way to go Gimodo!!!!
You tend to be so predictable Tom.

Sounds like you read half of Jason Calacanis's breakdown where he said
everyone involved including Apple were d#$ks.
I bet that if we were to come over to your house and help ourselves to
your belongings you would be singing a tune similar to Apple.
