Police Seize Computers From Gizmodo Editor
secretcurse writes "California police have served a search warrant and seized computers from Jason Chen, the Gizmodo editor who unveiled the 4th-generation iPhone to the world. Gawker Media's COO has replied claiming that the warrant was served illegally due to Mr. Chen's status as a journalist. The plot thickens..."
wft steve jobs? did you report this as stolen? are you filing criminal and/or civil charges? Are you really taking advantage of your company's incompetence? You already like to go all-gestapo in that fucking app store, but it's time for you and all your altar-boys in Apple to back the fuck down from the religious fanaticism, respect the press, respect developers, and stop disrespecting users with your "retarded customer confusion" pile of shit. The people I feel most sorry for are the intelligent, independent, Apple employees who are in crisis mode and daily thinking about publicly screwing you over, along with your madness. THIS is the reason they threw you out from Apple in the past, Steve. And I tend to think you sorta want to see if they'll do it again, hence all of these shenanigans. I hope this becomes the magical and revolutionary mother of all streisand effects, and that it comes at an unbelievable price.
stealing-->lawyer tries to hide incompetence through some spin only religious-altar-boy Gruber would believe
Apple has lost its shit; in the full meaning of the phrase.
knowingly purchasing stolen goods.
Stolen? It was left in a bar. DO YOU FUCKING AMERICANS NEED LAWS TO PROTECT YOU FROM LEAVING YOUR SHIT LYING AROUND? Hello? Common sense! You look after your stuff or you lose it. God you guys are dumb. I wouldn't care, but then you try to shove your laws down everyone else's throats via treaties. Heh, come to think of it, I hope Apple manages to take away a little more freedom from you douche-bags. Enjoy your "free" country.

Gawker media isn't "the Press".
just another perfect example of how shitty apple can be.
they did the same thing to someone else, yet, they are going after someone else because they had got served the same thing.
deplorable.
control freaks are control freaks, and it doesnt matter whether the control freak is a person, or a corporation.
apple has become an oppressive thorn in information society's side.

Apple == The rise of a new Microsoft?
Worse.
Microsoft was never this nasty.
You can tell how powerful someone is by the magnitude of the crime they can commit and be able to get away with.
