The other side of the Gizmodo/Apple imbroglio
Remember when in April of 2010, Gizmodo got hold of an accidentally left-behind iPhone prototype, which proved to be the iPhone 4, ran with the story, and suffered Apple’s response? (I wrote about it here.) Now former Gizmodo editor Brian Lam details his behind-the-scenes email and telephone exchanges with Steve Jobs, and comes away with a little regret. Even though my opinion hasn’t changed that Gizmodo was in the right and Apple was extremely in the wrong (seizing the writer’s computer and files), this is well worth reading for what it says about Jobs, and the impact he made on one technology fan.
