Debatable which was the best part, Stew' saying instead of getting the police to break down the door of the guy from Gizmodo's house, they should have just downloaded the app for that, or the prescient observation that Microsoft are supposed to be the bad guys but Gates is off trying to cure malaria and other diseases while Jobs is doing the tyranical Howard Hughes thing, trying to destroy everything that crosses him. Apple are sure the rebels today. Not.
Probably wasn't funny to watch if you believe the sun shines right out of Jobs' a**.

he also mentioned an alternative to the door breakdown and something to do with ATT?
That was funny.

Mixed emotions here. Being I love both Apple products and like stewart.
What control does Apple have over police doing investigation?
I would think none.

And let's not forget that Gates is doing good with ill-gotten gains. Typical robber baron.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I thought there was some link between apple and the enforcement team that did the raid.

Found this (5th paragraph down):

REACT is California's "Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team"
Conspiracy Theory #1: Apple Did It
John Cook of Yahoo News was one of the first out of the gate Monday night with a conspiracy theory tying Apple to the decision by law enforcement to raid Chen's home. Apple sits on REACT's steering committee, according to Yahoo News, and provides REACT and its officers with ", and internal support." Cook points to a purported phone call made by Apple CEO Steve Jobs to Gawker Media chief Nick Denton to demand the purloined iPhone back, and wonders if Apple didn't "sick its high-tech cops on Chen" in reaction to the whole mess.

So now y'all like Bill Gates. Maybe you should abandon acting as if corporate leaders are pop stars and get over the whole thing.

yeah, I agree.
Jobs has always given me the creeps, mostly when he is doing his schtick on stage during the keynote, playing the ultimate huckster.
Gates just plain gives me the creeps.
