"The person who found and sold an Apple iPhone prototype says he regrets not doing more to return the device to its owner, according to a statement provided by his attorney Thursday in response to queries from Wired.com."
"A friend of Hogan’s then offered to call Apple Care on Hogan’s behalf, according to Hogan’s lawyer. That apparently was the extent of Hogan’s efforts to return the phone."
"California’s penal code, section 485:
One who finds lost property under circumstances which give him knowledge of or means of inquiry as to the true owner, and who appropriates such property to his own use, or to the use of another person not entitled thereto, without first making reasonable and just efforts to find the owner and to restore the property to him, is guilty of theft."
So the phone was stolen and sold...I'm not clear how the theft of the phone was "Apple's fault"?
"HTML5, the budding specification for multimedia in Web applications, will not displace proprietary rich Internet technologies, such as Adobe Flash/Flex or Microsoft Silverlight, anytime soon, an analyst report released this week said'.
OK, understood, it's new and therefore it sucks, and the existing "proprietary systems" are better. You support proprietary systems then? Wait, isn't that why we hate Apple? Dammit is this/. or not. I'm confused:(
Please, calm down. Rest assured, we recognize the *need* for people like you so we can sit comfortably in high-paying, brain-dead jobs *without* having to suffer through real work like calculus. After all, isn't that what the low-payed engineers are for?;)
What do you expect? These are the same people that struggle with the difference between "loose" and "lose". To them, I expect it's a "mute" point, too.
This has probably been covered in the previous 500 posts, but bears repeating: what about connecting to the f'ing internet with an "unpatched product" to get the patch & being compromised in under a minute?!
Excuse me, but I'm simply flabbergasted that you didn't bother to read the article:
Another view, expressed before the launch, comes from The Times of India, which in an editorial Monday called the Shenzhou 5 launch a "joke."
"It would be better to call it China's Late Creep Forward, given that Beijing is attempting to showcase a four-decade-old technology. If this is China's idea of arriving, then it's come at a time when the other two spacefaring nations have left it light years behind," the publication said.
Can you read? Did you see the "Times of India" quote? Did you see what they said? Perhaps I missed something and India is now another continent of the USA?
I happened to read a lot of good posts on this article; as others have said, perhaps it's the level you viewed them at. I certainly agree that "jealousy has no place", but do you really have to cheapen your point with a weak generalization?
Oh -- I realize it's terribly fashionable and clever for the "superior-attitude" nations to bash Americans on this site. After all, they're so incredibly clever at positively everything and all of us here are have no clue, right? I'm not going to waste time apologizing for our behavior, any more than you will for yours. Keep in mind the roots of the majority population in this country started from nations around the world. Any time you take ridiculous comments and lump an entire nation into one category, you're basically guilty of the issues that are at the root of your complaint.
Hey, I lived in the UK for half my life, does that mean I view the English as a bunch of football hooligans who export violence to Germany? Hardly.
The incredible lack of understanding in you're own commentary is present in all societies. It is especially prevalent where ignorant blanket generalizations form in the small minds of individuals such as yourself.
This is interesting -- could this eventually do away with proprietary test computer equipment needed for each manufacturer? i.e. open it up into an environment where someone could extract this information via a some type of standard port to a laptop. Or would this lock it down further into more expensive (but standardized) equipment controlled by fewer providers? Anyone here have to deal with car problems & found you couldn't extract the details without an expensive "analysis" tool? (insert GM, Chrysler, BMW).
Seems to me marketing has been trying for years to create "optimal music" by homogenizing the sounds of every genre of music out there. Take the "packaged anger" bands, for example.

This Soylent Green tastes funny... Oh look, the box says "May contain clowns".
aaaand there goes the milk out my nose. thanks. thanks a bunch.
"Wasn't booting at all."
But at least there's hope for the people who want yet another Windows 7 tablet.
I'm not sure if that should be Funny, Insightful, or Flamebait. Any would work, I guess. Surely it deserves +5 *something*.
Yes, and you get modded troll for posting the link to the Wired article saying as much.
Marked troll for posting facts with the sources? Nice job moderators.
Well, according to http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/04/iphone-finder/

I paid $199 for my iPhone and I can't play Facebook games?
That's not a bug, it's a feature.
Should have been +5 Insightful.
He doesnt care that you should care, or not.
Flash apps circumvent the app store, you can make a website app through flash for free (such as a game) and Jobs doesn't get to enforce his Apple Tax.
HTML5 doesn't? http://www.osnews.com/story/23097/Quake_II_Ported_to_HTML5
Doesn't any one see the irony of this being posted by "taxevader"?
I think someone is just getting a little nervous.
That's my ass!!

don't a lot of house fires start from the *inside*? I wonder if there's any resale value on an empty shell of "fire paste"...

It's obviously based on "Longhorn"
I just hope they won't be as arrogant as they used to be before.
Indeed! I for one am confident that the French buyout will temper any arrogant and self-righteous behavior.
The artists are already starving in comparison. Why don't they just tell the truth and call the program "Starving Corporate Executive".
They could show the horrors of the poor RIAA execs who could only buy one BMW this year, or the trauma of having to sell one of their estates.
