VERITAS: FUMBLE - GIZMODO (BLOG)

This week's perspective from com.motion:
Everyone by now has heard that Apple's next iteration of the iPhone was lost by an Apple software engineer, found, sold to Gizmodo and ultimately posted from Gizmodo with pictures across the web. Questions were raised as to how the phone was acquired and what attempts were made to return it. Throughout it all, Gizmodo has positioned itself as the innocent man in the middle, sharing worthy news with it's readers. Their tone has been provocatively smug throughout, and they have gone so far as to edit blog post with what they have suggested to be their communications with Apple. Unfortunately, whether Apple follow through or not, it appears laws were broken and profit has been the indulgent factor at play here. Fumble to Gizmodo for nothing other than a dubious lack of honesty in the editorial process.
