Apple Iphone 4 Prototype

Apple has been getting a lot of media exposure due to a prototype iphone 4 was discovered in a bar last week. Although it looked like an innocent mistake, I wouldn't think that if Apple really wanted it top secret they wouldn't give something so valuable to be used outside of a testing environment.

A lot of people are speculating that this was staged to hype up their product line, as it looked like it did the trick. Apple's stock has increased and they got some free publicity in the last few days.

Again, this could easily be an accident, and if so, it is too bad for the employee who left it there. Similar situations caused other apple employee's to lose their job when the ipad was being released, reports state that an engineer lost his job for just showing Steve Wozniak the ipad for just a few minutes. Trade secrets are the only thing that will give you an edge in this day and age.

So share what you think. Do you think Apple planned this at an employee expense or was this an actual mistake? Post your responses and share. Well hopefully I can get more active with my blogging.

Breaking the Silence

Just an update/explanation for the lack of blog posts since our last meeting.

First of all, I want to apologize to you for not keeping up on my obligations to getting posts on the Blog. I came down with a terrible case of Bronchitis that nearly moved into Pneumonia. I had been able to work,(because I have been stubborn) but after coming home I would just crash and not even attempt to use the computer. I am getting better, but still dealing with the cough.

Here are some posts that have been submitted to me from members about the upcoming iPad presentation we will have in our next meeting.

Until then Happy Computing
