Second Apple Employee Accused of Stealing Apple Car Details

[dominiongamma]

Apple will do business with China still and turn and look the other way. No new news here

Throw the book at the (another) thief!

 

[tranceme]

I wonder when this will have an effect on companies hiring Chinese citizens ?

Seriously. Why bother hiring them now. Not worth the risk.

In China the theft of IP from foreign companies is not considered a crime. It's different though if foreigners are stealing Chinese IP.

Actually, It's your duty to do so for the Party.

Karma. What goes around, comes around. Steve shouldn't have stolen from Xerox.

What? China engaged in corporate espionage? No way!

Also, Lexus, and parent company Toyota, refuse to use Apple's CarPlay. Maybe use a different brand of automobile for these articles.

Many Toyota and Lexus vehicles currently support CarPlay so I think you're subscribing to old news.

One wonders how many times employees have managed to steal documents in bulk.

 

[brendu]

I find it amusing that in The Verge’s story on this they include a graphic asking people to anonymously send them confidential information about this project.

The verge sucks.

Karma. What goes around, comes around. Steve shouldn't have stolen from Xerox.

Please stop circulating old, false headlines. Jobs made a deal with Xerox and they accepted. It's all documented. No theft involved.

 

[Tozovac]

They should’ve just stolen away the fugly spindle grilles on all the test lexuses.

 

[kruegdude]

The Chinese steal IP and trade secrets? You don't say... No shocker here.

That’s a lot of people to condemn based on the actions of one individual.

 

[tridley68]

Well I guess he won't be collecting unemployment from Apple.

 

[now i see it]

"Apple takes confidentiality and the protection of our IP very seriously"

That statement is missing a few more words. Let me fill it in-

"Apple takes confidentiality and the protection of our IP very seriously, but we steal others' IP for the iPhone all the time."

Of ONE individual? Dude, where ya been?

 

[macfacts]

A deal was made after the theft took place.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Don’t hire Chinese people in super sensitive positions, or positions having too much access to sensitive information.

And before the outrage mob flares up, I’m clearly not suggesting this because of Chinese ethnicity.

Yeah, that’s an autonomous test vehicle owned and operated by...Apple, which is why MacRumors uses it.

When you can’t innovate, steal. Isn’t that how the Chinese economy was built?

 

[Kierkegaarden]

China is an arrogant monster that needs to be brought down to earth. This will lead to pain for the whole global economy, but it is necessary. Better to deal with it now, rather than later.

 

[WatchFromAfar]

Oh look. Another Chinese citizen trying to steal western IP. Screw China.

You don't think there are any Westerners involved in industrial espionage?

 

[alexandr]

fell asleep in his getaway apple car and got busted.

 

[Tonewheel]

I hate to say it but I kinda agree with 45 when it comes to the subject of the Chinese. They are not our friends.

And the Russians, too.

 

[Ma2k5]

Oh look. Another Chinese citizen trying to steal western IP. Screw China.

Happens the other way around too. It’s just business as usual.

 

[Rogifan]

Can he not? But they can with so many things. AirPower...

So many things? You listed one thing. An an accessory not a major new product category.

 

[joueboy]

I work at the car parts manufacturing and I've seen a lot of Chinese being hired lately. My assumption is that in couple years Chinese branded cars will be coming to the market worldwide and compete with other well known brands. The thing is that our company is not thinking really well they just want to hire cheap engineers, I wouldn't be surprised if our company will eventually face a new competition sooner.

So we can be assured that the Chinese will come with an 'Apple car' before Apple. Nothing new here, lol
