What people haven't realize...
Is that this actor from Borat is doing a movie about Steve Jobs... now he has some good material to work with.
Apple really dropped the ball when invading this guys house and take his equipment... and there was an application for that!

Jon Stewart sucks and has always sucked. he royally sucked in the 90's when he tried at a show then, but this segment....... WAS GENIUS! congrats to the writers on a very funny piece!
Its fair game if his stupid enought to get drunk at a bar with his scripts and lose it there. U apple fangirls need to get off ur koolaid for a moment, think about how you would react if this happened to anyone other then apple. Let say microsoft. And they overeact by bashing the guys door n taking all his stuff even after the item has been returned? Ya exactly u guys would be crying bloody murder. But since its apple they've done nothing wrong...
Dont get me wrong i love apple products, have ipods, had all the gens of iphones and i'm planning on getting a macbook pro and ipad this summer, but that doesn't make me blind and think everything apple does is good.
Did anyone notice on the very beginning of the show "HD brought to you by Windows 7" ? I know this is probably coincidence, but its still not cool to do spoof like this if Microsoft is a sponsors. I kinda lost respect for the guy now, I don't know. Peace may be funny, but its still very distasteful to do 8 and a half minute clip, which is almost half of the show if Microsoft is a new sponsor. I mean come on.

So according to you it's fine to steal the purse of any woman in a bar who has had a drink too many.
Your post about such vile thievery being "fair game" says more about you than it does about Apple.

You base integrity on if they bend to their sponsors will?
Genius!
Simple as that
Guy nailed the entire story... spot on!
In fact - it so good I will adopt it for my signature!

I agree. Steve Jobs is definitely taking this too far. A lot of people that were indifferent about him, now don't like the guy (based on what I've been reading in news articles and on forums).
Jon Stewart is an unimaginable idiot. He strikes me as fairly bright person, who like all TV talking heads, is intentionally stupid on TV, which is why I cannot watch.
His opening comments forced me to shut it off before even getting to the part about Apple....if he doesn't know by now that Obama is aiding in dismantling the Constitution, just like Bush did, just like Clinton did, just like Bush before that, then you're either an idiot, or intentionally trying to deceive and divert people, and for both reasons I cannot watch Jon Stewart.

From a friend's project on my course. the brief was to make a little illustration every day about what's going on in the world.
Theft
the more the story gets out, it becomes apparent this was a theft! If you are at an Outback steakhouse and a woman at the table next to you leaves her purse, are you entitled to walk out the door with it? When people realize they lose something, they always retrace their steps and eventually return to where they left it, wouldn't it be nice if it stayed there with the restaurant/bar's lost and found. Walking out with the iphone was theft. He probably thought it looked so cool with the front camera that he couldn't help himself, but it was still theft. He didn't know the guy, and had no way to return it. He should have left it in the bar with the management. Finding it on the street is different, but an establishment..... come on. Not to mention the likely hood that he lifted it from the guys pocket, noticing him using the facebook update at the table, and seeing the front camera knowing its something prototype, finds a way to sit near him, buy him a beer, do the grab and then do a fake 'look what was found on the stool' story to try to cover his tracks.

Yes, because if there is one unifying thread of Jon Stewart's media image, it is that he hides his Jewish heritage.
Seriously, what the hell?
Breaking Down The Door?????
I am a pretty big Apple fanboy but I was shocked to hear this!!!!!
Nobody is too big to have to eat crow when they "cross the line" and good to see Apple being taken to task for their involvement in this "police state" type of activity.
Now....where is my 32GB ipod Nano?

If that analogy holds true, then he is basically Rupert Murdoch's golf buddy? And his most favorite dinner guest is Sarah Palin?
