Police Seize Gizmodo Writer's Stuff!

[Pooky]

Woah Apple are siriass!

Last Friday night, California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team entered editor Jason Chen's home without him present, seizing four computers and two servers. They did so using a warrant by Judge of Superior Court of San Mateo. According to Gaby Darbyshire, COO of Gawker Media LLC, the search warrant to remove these computers was invalid under section 1524(g) of the California Penal Code.

For those who don't know (I didn't), Jason Chen is the chap that wrote the stuff about the 4G iPhone.

Apple is an EVIL company that is hell-bent on controlling you... just the fanbooi's cant see it. (this was shown in the new Advertising features that were enabled in OS4)

People will continue to sell their souls for [-]a string of beads and some coins[/-] a few fancy buttons.
Same is true of all people who defend the corporations eroding their rights, and refuse to adopt open standards.

Watch how they all come streaming in now....

I am proud to say that I do not own one Apple product and have no desire to. I am not interested in how pretty things are, I am more concerned with their functionality.

As much as this leaves a sour taste in my mouth it is somewhat understandable given that this was preproduction hardware that was possible stolen fro the Apple Campus

Liked his boss' response.

Nah this is Apple showing their "muscle"

Not sure of the intelligence of the legal representative he has....

I would have thought an X next to something means it has been selected?

I was about to have blazing guns against Apple until the fact was pointed out that it was possible stolen hardware. He should have turned the stolen iPhone in at Apple at the first opportunity, but he didn't, so he must not be a big crybaby now.
