Why Apple Couldn't Get the Lost iPhone Back

John Herrman of Gizmodo writes:

"It's such an obvious question: Why couldn't Apple track this phone down? As it turns out, they may have had two chances to get it back-and blown them both."

get. a. life. (or a game and then play it).

darkmurder5877d ago

Apple probably saw it as an overpriced gimmick and scoffed at it but then realised a month later it was their product.

WhittO5877d ago (Edited 5877d ago )

lol because playing games means you have more of a life than people being interested in the new iPhone models ?

JustinSaneV25876d ago (Edited 5876d ago )

1) Little does he know that the iPhone is a gaming platform...
2) By the same comparison one can say he has no life for browsing a gaming news site.

maxbyte5876d ago

How could I be a gamer and seriously say to someone "get a life". And then, as an added hint, I say "or a game"... Duh.
Sarcasm out of your bounds or what?

WhittO5875d ago

its hard to get if someone is being sarcastic because there are soo many stupid people on here lol.

Thats what the "/sarcasm" is usually used for.

founders keepers...

Actually (not 100% sure, but I think it is so), in California the law states that the one who loses an item has three years to claim it back.
If that period passes and no one comes to claim the item, the owner of the property where the item is lost becomes the owner of the item.
A person who finds the item has no legal right to ownership; their legal obligation is to report the item found to the property owner or to the police.

Let's see if the guy who lost it kills himself like the last one did.

"...like the last one did." ?????

JustinSaneV25877d ago

A Chinese worker (employed by FoxComm I think it was) killed himself after losing a prototype.

The apple ninjas came in to the guys house in the middle of the night and switched it with a bricked fake one

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake46d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno45d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW45d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
