So a few weeks after the lost iPhone stories comes this media reaction piece in the NY Times. Are you serious?  The journalist, David Carr, does his best (and fails miserably) to make an argument that Apple has shown with iPhone-gate why they should be looked at differently.  Just read the last three sentences from the piece…

But in engaging the long arm of the law on behalf of his corporate interests, Mr. Jobs may lead us to think, um, differently about Apple’s growing cultural dominance.

Really? Any shareholder of Apple (myself included), would want Jobs to use the law to protect his corporate interests.  He’d be a horrible CEO if he let someone steal the company’s product, sell it to a technology media site, and not prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Get real David Carr.  If someone stole a journalist’s computer that contained the latest soon to be released blockbuster story of the NY Times, you bet your ink stained quill they would prosecute them.

Sadly, this is not even the worst of the article…

According to a report from Wired, at some point people identifying themselves as representatives of Apple visited the home of the man apparently trying to peddle the phone, asking to search the premises. Home visits seem a little more up the alley of the Church of Scientology, another nongovernmental organization preoccupied by secrecy. 

Apple = Church of Scientology.  Next thing we know, Apple will be spoken in the same breath as the Illuminati and the Free Masons.  Oh, David Carr.
