Someone found a 4G iPhone on the floor of a bar in Redwood City
Found. In the wild. A solid two months before anyone expected to see pictures of it.
BAD HARDWARE: Don't make me laughing. I must underestimated some important clue.
Here it is: I underestimated how good German beer is
As we know at Apple Cupertino campus, any gadget or computer that is worth protecting is behind armored doors, with security locks with codes that change every few minutes. Prototypes are bolted to desks. Hidden in these labs, hardware, software and industrial-design elves toil separately on the same devices, without really having the complete picture of the final product.
And hidden in every corner, the Apple secret police, a team of people with a single mission: To make sure nobody speaks. And if there's a leak, hunt down the traitor, and escort him out of the building. Using lockdowns and other fear tactics, these men in black are the last line of defense against any sneaky eyes. The Gran Jefe Steve trusts them to avoid Apple's worst nightmare: The leak of a strategic product that could cost them millions of dollars in free marketing promotion. One that would make them lose control of the product news cycle.
But the fact is that there's no perfect security. Not when humans are involved. Humans that can lose things.
Final thoughts: Steve Jobs kills even for less, thus don't make me laughing guys. I mean seriously.
And the final message obviously is: Truth is stranger than illusion, but never as strange as lies.
