I dont understand why people are blaming gizmodo and siding with the guy who lost his phone. He works for a corporation notorious for secrecy and 'leaking' product info through such underhand means for generating hype. Employees of 3-letter Govt. agencies know the risk when signing up, that their life may be in danger because they know stuff which is worth killing. Well, same with apple i guess. They have lowered(raised?) the bar on this whole secrecy nonsense that punishing them by publicly disclosing and humiliating their secret-bearing employees is the only way out. Let's keep in mind that it is apple which has cultivated this ring of secrecy, and now their employee is whining because gizmodo does what apple exactly expects them to?


Do you suggest that Apple's secrecy policy justifies buying stolen property??


The whole point is that apple is capable enough of engineering such an incident. And that whiner has no right to complain after being part of apple's insidious plans.
