Steve Jobs at D8 video: bloggers buying stolen iPhone HD/iPhone 4G property and extorting Apple
Steve Jobs, at the D8 Conference, comments on the lost/stolen iPhone HD/iPhone 4G prototype that turned up online. Jobs thinks it's an amazing story - theft, buying stolen property, extortion... he thinks there may be sex in there somewhere!
Jobs got a lot of advice saying he should let it slide, shouldn't go after a journalist because they (allegedly!) bought stolen property and tried to extort Apple. Jobs would rather quit. He considers it a matter of their core values.

Why is there a Flash cube under the article ?
i like that he is honest and just tells it like it is.
so this is an iphone/ipad/ipod touch website, correct? so why can't i view the video on my iphone? no one had the the video in h.264? shame i had to go the pc to view it.
I really want to know how jobs feels Apple was extorted. Possession of un claimed property is 9/10ths the law. It wasent stolen according to the law. Maybe he should.get better lawyers or at least listened to them. I won't buy Apple ever.
Sorry Dave but possession of lost/unclaimed property is not 9/10ths of the law as you see it. It is simply theft or, in the UK certainly, theft by finding. I know that different laws apply in different countries, Japan in particular. However in most of the world it remains as a simple form of theft. On this basis Jobs was absolutely corretc to consider pursuing it as such. I wonder how you would feel if someone "found" your car, phone or possibly even house? I suspect you would not be quite as sure of your interpretation of the law. I suspect, in truth, that you are merely an Apple hater just making rather unintelligent mischief! My apologies if you are not and are merely stupid and ill informed. Lol
Why post flash videos, when most of us look at your site through our iPhones!?
