What if... contact was made decades ago and "The Powers That Be" decided to keep this a secret. The contactors waited patiently for disclosure and now are impatient and will make disclosure themselves.
What if... the fears of "TPTB" are realized, that the world population will truly be pissed at "TPTB"?
Should I feel sorry for the "TPTB" or should I call for the censure/ expulsion/ trial/ investigation of "TPTB" for all the grief perpetrated against all sentient life.
Any religion that adheres to the idea of blind faith, relies on the light of ignorance to lead the blind (to reality) with faith in the ministers who lead the blind.
What if....it was God/Jehovah/Allah/Vishnu/Rama/Grandfather/Grandmother/Flying Spaghetti Monster/Cosmic Bran Muffin that guided the hand of every cartoonist just to see which "FAITH" has the capacity to laugh at themselves...I know, She was only kidding.
How does a one pin difference in socket design correlate with motherboard manufacturing and compatibility with other systems. Why is a 1 pin difference incrementally superior to present form factors. It seems to me that not everything is aboveboard about this issue. First you give the natives blankets. Then you give them blankets with smallpox. This is basically a 1 pin difference(?).
I guess 20/20 hindsight will show the truth of the matter.
A better read and possibly a much better movie(if they ever get around to making it) is "Masters of Destruction"
A true story about hackers and crackers that ended up in a flame war that brought down the East coast phone network. It's an amazing story from the standpoint of the phone company knowing about it from the onset. Their noob mentality was "Let's see what happens."

> So I called around, and I now believe this is an actual unit from Apple -- a unit Apple is very interested in getting back.
If it's so important for Apple to get this phone back, I wonder why there's no reward...
What if... they want it returned so they can view who had it, where it went or whether it was opened? It is one thing to kill ants swarming atop a cookie, it is another thing to follow them back to the nest and kill them all.
According to the person who found it, this iPhone was running iPhone OS 4.0 before the iPhone 4.0 announcement. The person was able to play with it and see the iPhone 4.0 features. Then, Apple remotely killed the phone before we got access to it. We were unable to restore [...]
So they actually got it connected with a SIM card or WiFi before trying it and filming the result and that's how it got remotely killed by big brother?
Are you sure it was a conveniently placed product or was it a deliberate test to verify kill programing for lost or stolen phones?
It seems that Chinese scholars (based on the ones I know and the research I see) are more concerned with quantity, as it improves your salary very directly, than with quality.
When the world's consumers become tired of being saturated with crap, they will begin to demand quality.
The only way to hurt people like this is to affect their wallets.
How quickly we forget. Regulation created this mess; I highly doubt that regulation will be able fix this mess.
Proper regulation will. Regulation that truly serves the consumers and not the Service providers and politicians. The service industries "helped" the politicians write the regulations, they "helped" the politicians re-write the de-regulation policies. The separation of Business and State is just as important as the separation of Church and State.
We The People means the governed constituency and not governing body.
The only true response is to violate the Great Firewall of china with the truth. Flood them with American Labor History. Send over a bunch of Teamsters to organize labor unions and let the adventure begin. Maybe a couple of Jimmy Hoffas, Jackie Pressors and 100 business agents will bring sanity to this labor issue...ya think?
