Looking a bit Gray
As I mentioned yesterday there is a very unfortunate soul who (hopefully) is still on the Apple Campus, one Gray Powell who accidently lost a prototype 4th gen iPhone about two weeks ago.
Apparently (according to Gizmodo.com who bought the device) someone did try to give the phone back to Apple but were unable to.
Should Gray keep his job when it is obvious the importance that Apple places on confidentiality ? I don’t think so, it may have been a genuine mistake (after all, no-one would throw their career away on purpose), but if you are in the trusted position of having something like this on your person, you don’t go to a bar and get pissed enough to leave it on the chair and not check it’s on your person when you leave.
Have your say, vote on the poll below….
Should Gray Powell lose his job at Apple?
- Yes (50%, 1 Votes)
- No (50%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 2
Can you imagine the conversation at the disciplinary meeting?
Someone will be put up against the wall for this one.

No pictures from me Steve, I don’t want to suffer the C&D letters, but it is looking really good. I’ll buy one when you release them.
Don’t be too hard on him, everyone makes mistakes every now and then and he was REALLY drunk (I would have thought any way – you know to cock up this big!).
