» The popular website Gizmodo got a prototype of the newest, still secret Apple iPhone when an employee left it in a bar, and a man found it and sold it to the website; Gizmodo bought it, photographed and wrote about it (it is quite uninteresting, at this stage); Steve "President for Life" Jobs responded in character by filing felony theft charges against the website, something he would be terrified out of his only wit to do against a larger media company; the police came and ransacked the office and home of the editor, seizing his computers and otherwise trying to intimidate the firm on behalf of Big Brother Jobs, to enforce the law that makes it illegal to receive stolen goods.
