New rule for Apple employees: Stop going to bars if you have a prototype - pRICE cUBE - 09-03-2011
What is it with Apple employees and losing prototypes at bars?

We told you yesterday that Apple had allegedly lost a next gen iPhone prototype in a San Franciscan tequila bar. Through a string of events, it was uncovered that Apple had purportedly tracked the prototype device to an apartment in Bernal Heights and sent a private security team on a recover mission.

they just need a few grams of C4 in the prototypes that they can remote detonate. Blame it on a faulty LiPo battery. They could just ask Mossad for the design :devil:

Once I can believe.
Twice it starts to sound fishy.

Snippy much? It's not stolen thunder when there's no thunder.

The story pRICE cUBE linked to has information about a search of a home for the iPhone that the story Jerry linked does not. Seems like a worthwhile follow-up.
Here's another link that talks about the fishiness of the "search of a home" episode:

It may be legal, but I don't like the idea of private detectives working for Apple showing up with San Francisco policemen, giving the home owner the impression that the detectives were policemen and then only the private detectives go into the house. Once in, they then threaten the home owner and his family with bad things if they don't tell them where the phone is. :bs: Of course, the homeowner could have refused cooperation, but he thought he was choosing to cooperating with legal authorities not private dicks. That's just not right. If you read the article you'll see there's a lot that sounds not right about what happened.

It's critical that Apple be able to do their cell phone announcement performance art. Now they're raising armies for the second time.
