Apple Loses Another 4th-Gen iPhone
An anonymous reader noted that Apple appears to have lost another of its 4th generation iPhones. This doesn't seem like the most efficient distribution mechanism, Steve. Wonder if the SWAT team will get called in.

I always had my doubts about the efficiency of Steve as a distribution mechanism.
because steve will have a hard time convincing obama to go to round two with vietnam?
What ever happened to finders keepers??
If Apple is gonna keep losing their 4G iPhones, I seriously think law enforcement needs to stop helping them. Apple is careless and that's the price they pay.
Kindergarden playground rules don't apply in the Real World. IANAL, but I do know that from a legal standpoint I can "store" my property anywhere I want and it doesn't cease being mine just because you can pick it up and carry it off.
Oh look, I found your Porsche parked on the street. I'll just take it home with me. Finders keepers. I don't think so.
Well, looks like our boys are going back to Vietnam.

No communication is allowed in or out at Apple's re-affirmation camp.

Lost your phone? We've got an app for that .... wait damn it's in flash.
Isnt this just Apples new way of selling iphones for $4000-$5000 a pop?
ZOMG! There's no way I would buy this phone considering how easy it is to lose. They really need to work on that. /joke
The early prototype for what eventually became the Palm Pre, Blackberry Bold, and Nokia Symbian phones.
Some people still buy them out of nostalgia for the good old days when you weren't bothered with having to tether, were protected from the confusion of too much choice in applications, didn't have to deal with the hassle of replacing batteries, could concentrate on doing only one thing at a time and your phone supported this by not multitasking, and when "(whatever memory is installed in the phone) is enough for everybody".
Ah, memories.

No, but park it in my parking space, don't remove it after I have you served with a notice to either do so or that I will go to court and get title of it, and guess what - I *can* go to court and get title transferred.
Uhhhh...what?? What law is this? IAAL and I've never heard of this legal maneuver.
Or maybe with Apple currently being more successful that it's ever been, and the iphone being a hugely popular device right now, the temptation to learn or share privileged information is just well beyond anything that Apple has seen before?
Apple would have zero problems getting more "legitimate" news coverage if they wanted it. They're always so careful with the aesthetics of their marketing, why would they want to leak grainy photos and poorly lit videos by random people when they could easily get crisp clean front page covers of a dozen different magazines/website? I guess they could be trying some sort of "underground" marketing strategy, but that doesn't make sense for a company where image is very important.
One time I threw a brick at a duck.
You make valid counter points, but people often adjust thier behavior to the capibilities of a device.
"Doesn't have multitasking" - I won't listen to Pandora while I read email.
"No replaceable battery" - I won't use it on the plane to watch that movie, that way I can make sure to call a cab when I land.
"It can be tethered now" - I have AT&T and they don't allow tethering, but the AT&T 3G network is so crappy I won't even bother.
It's breaking and entering, identity theft, and unauthorized access to a computer. Those crimes probably involve a longer amount of jail time, combined, than simple robbery.
