Jon Stewart Slams Apple Over Handling of Gizmodo Leak

Jon Stewart Slams Apple Over Handling of Gizmodo Leak

Posted April 29, 2010 at 2:30am by iClarified
The Daily Shows' Jon Stewart addresses the leak of the iPhone 4G by Gizmodo, asking if Apple is now becoming the man and slamming them for how the police raided Chen's house.

Take a look at the video below or you can read just part of the clip transcribed by In Other News.

"Apple - you guys were the rebels, man, the underdogs. People believed in you. But now, are you becoming the man? Remember back in 1984, you had those awesome ads about overthrowing Big Brother? Look in the mirror, man! …It wasn't supposed to be this way - Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one! But you guys are busting down doors in Palo Alto while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes! What the fuck is going on?!


…I know that it is slightly agitating that a blog dedicated to technology published all that stuff about your new phone. And you didn't order the police to bust down the doors, right? I'd be pissed too, but you didn't have to go all Minority Report on his ass! I mean, if you wanna break down someone's door, why don't you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone! I mean, seriously! How do you drop four calls in a one-mile stretch of the West Side Highway! There're no buildings around! What, does the open space confuse AT&T's signal?!

…Come on, Steve. Chill out with the paranoid corporate genius stuff. Don't go all Howard Hughes on us."
