The 4G iPhone's Finder Reportedly Located 404
CNET is reporting that investigators have interviewed the person who found the unreleased Apple iPhone and began all the trouble. Wired reports that last week people "identifying themselves as representing Apple last week visited and sought permission to search the Silicon Valley address of the college-age man who came into possession of a next-generation iPhone prototype." "'Someone came to [the finder's] house and knocked on his door,' the source told Wired.com, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation by the police. A roommate answered, but wouldn't let them in. ... News of Apple's lost iPhone prototype hit the Web like a bombshell, but it was apparently an open secret for weeks amongst the finder's roommates and neighbors, where the device was shown around mostly as a curiosity. ... 'There was no effort to keep it secret,' the source said. 'There were a bunch of people who knew.' ... Wired.com received an e-mail March 28 offering access to the device, but did not follow up on the exchange after the tipster made a thinly veiled request for money."

Who?
Oh, for Christ sake, it's Steve F'ing Jobs. Give me my phone back or I'll send the Steve Balmer Chair Delivery Service to wreck the place!

Only idiots would buy speakers that "fell off the back of a truck", though I did once buy a truck that detached itself from speakers.

Why the hell do so many people think he did something evil?
It made Steven Jobs angry. So naturally all his flying monkeys are going to swirl around with fury. Also, this is apple.slashdot.org not the real Slashdot, so this stuff is to be expected.

As an Apple shareholder my friend keeps reminding me that they're in fact doing good.

Apple can't obtain or act on search warrants. Apple can't charge or prosecute anyone for a crime. The lack of even the most basic knowledge of how our system of justice works is just appalling. Do they put you kids through a civics course in school anymore?
It must be nice to be that naive.
"Mr. Jobs draws a lot of water in this town, Doe. You don't draw shit. We got a nice quiet $50+ billion dollar company here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet. So let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around trying to sell our stolen prototypes, Doe. I don't like your jerk-off name, I don't like your jerk-off face, I don't like your jerk- off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-off --do I make myself clear?"
But no, you're right, I'm sure the cops around there don't say "Heil" when Apple says "Sieg," or anything.
