What would you have done
« on: April 20, 2010, 10:07:17 PM »
You should all know by now what I am talking about but this guy says it a bit better:

Quote
You know the story by now. Some Apple guy leaves his iPhone   prototype in a bar. Some guy finds it. A few weeks go by. He then   leaks photos of the thing to both Engadget and Gizmodo. Then he sells Gizmodo   access to it for $5,000.    It's a good story, with a lot of ins, outs, and what have-yous, as Jeff   "The Dude" Lebowski would say. But while a lot of attention has been   focused on whether it was, like, cool, for Gizmodo to have paid for   information, man, the real question is what would you have done if you'd   been the one to find the prototype?

So, what would you have done. ???

I would have sold it back to them or tried for a reward. :) I don't like them either but they gotta be worth something.

Taking it out of the Apple Building and leaving it at a bar is utter stupidity, I bet the guy will now be promoted to upper management.  Taking it and selling it is paramount to stealing.  Are lawyers involved?

If the attorneys are not going nuts it is a hoax or a stunt.   :o

lol, yeah ebay would've been funny.  Guy who did it probably did the smartest thing he could have.  He's not going to get in trouble and just made a quick $5k.
