Another Unreleased iPhone Lost by Employee In a Bar

First time accepted submitter MightyMait writes "Looks like another Apple employee left an iPhone prototype in a bar. From the article: 'The errant iPhone, which went missing in San Francisco's Mission district in late July, sparked a scramble by Apple security to recover the device over the next few days, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Last year, an iPhone 4 prototype was bought by a gadget blog that paid $5,000 in cash. This year's lost phone seems to have taken a more mundane path: it was taken from a Mexican restaurant and bar and may have been sold on Craigslist for $200. Still unclear are details about the device, what version of the iOS operating system it was running, and what it looks like.' Once might be an accident, but two unreleased iPhones lost in bars starts to look like a strategy."

Maybe they were just holding it wrong.

Hey, that's not a bug, its a feature. BTW they may or may not be coming out with a stylish new case which prevents you from accidentally forgetting your phone at the tequila bar by not letting you take your hand off of it.

No, it actually makes it look more like an accident.

Cut me some slack. When I saw that the story was only 23 minutes old, I almost peed my pants and rushed to submit it to Slashdot. I had to think of *something* to say along with the headline and URL, and that was the best I could do. Apparently it was good enough.

It's been years since I'd even bothered to submit anything (and, as you can gather from TFS, none of my previous submissions were accepted). The fact that I'm strutting around right now as if I'd won the Superbowl must give you a sense of how rich and full my life is.
