Write about an Apple product, get your house ransacked
Posted on April 27th, 2010 at 17:55 2 commentsJason Chen, the head guy at Gizmodo, has made some very powerful enemies by writing about the iPhone 4G. Apparently, Gizmodo received a working prototype of the new iPhone under extenuating circumstances. Jason’s written about it, in spite of Apple’s heated objections.
Officers from the California’s Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team, using a court order issued by the Superior Court of San Mateo CA, broke into Jason’s house and took out four computers and two servers.
Makes you wonder about a lot of things, eh?
Jason’s account is on the Gizmodo site.

I am sorry but I don’t feel a lot of sympathy for Jason Chen. Dealing in stolen goods plus writing gossip on a tech website about a confidential product certainly isn’t going to endear him to many folks.

Well I guess this ends speculation that Apple deliberately planted the prototype in that bar.
