Apple lost another iPhone in another bar. Bummer for Apple, but also, kind of funny. At least in Conan’s hands.
Conan O’Brien released a hilarious spoof of an Apple product video, in which the company pleads for its missing phone while touting the features that promise to bring grief to whoever’s got it. Like, “it’s amazing that in such a short period of time we’ve managed to create a digital version of the eBola virus.”
Very funny, Conan!

Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 3:50 PMThe “ibola” virus?
But, no one “stole” the phone, just like no one stole the last phone, so unmitigated moron left it and then some person found it and then handed it to some other crafty person who took advantage of their situation…
“Stealing” is when you take something FROM someone, not when they loose it and someone finds it. I hate how corporations try and redefine laws and life to suit them, like the word “piracy” etc.

Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 6:08 PMThe IP4 was stolen by pretty much every definition of the word. A guy took it from a bar, didn’t return it to the owner, despite all the numbers being there, he made a cursory call to Apple customer service, knowing they wouldn’t believe him (but mostly to cover his bases) and rather than take it to a store, hocked it to Gizmodo for $5000 USD. Not $500. He knew what he had on his hands and how much it was worth. I’m comfortable about calling that theft, albeit opportunistic theft.

Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 10:28 AMThe ‘Apple’ factor is what makes this story! Not whether it was lost or stolen… With the previous phone that was lost, they pretended to be police for christ’s sake! Personally I think the guy that got paid for this, deserved every cent!
