Wasn’t that an easy marketing gig? How hard could it be to contact the person whose facebook profile was available for the founder to send him a msg? Moreover, buying stolen goods is an offense and there are rules regarding what to do when a lost item is found by someone. So asking Apple to ‘go easy on the kid who lost it’ rather than who found it indicates that there was no legal fear at all. Not sure why a rival would fall for it, but business rivalry is mostly to deceive the customers – just like political rivalry

I have to agree with NewEnglandBob – Apple is genius at creating buzz and hype without spending a penny on actual advertising. If it’s not in collusion with Gizmodo specifically, it’s still a plant. I wonder how much of an increase in traffic Apple’s websites got that day? :D

So an Apple software engineer walks into a bar with a prototype under one arm, and he says to the bar tender …
