Jon Stewart calls out Apple (follow up on Sarah's post)

Sarah posted a really interesting blog about the editor of Gizmodo's house being searched by police after he posted pictures of Apple's iPhone prototype on his website. Well this behavior by Apple has got a lot of people up in arms about what their company is really about. Most importantly it has caught the attention of a very influential guy, Jon Stewart. He ranted about Apple's actions on his nightly faux-news cast "The Daily Show". (Fast forward to minute 5:15 to get right into his "conversation" with Steve Jobs and Apple.)

Apple started out as an underdog and became the super-power it is today by having faithful customers who believed in their product, these kind of actions are kind of...scary. What monster have we created here? Hopefully this is just a one time thing and Apple will realize the damage they have done to their image and maybe they can begin to repair it. Maybe by releasing an iPhone for Verizon? Hey, just a suggestion.....
