    Wait. I thought you said you were joking yesterday. Which is it?

    All rumours and speculation. Show me factual evidence and a decent debate rather than an all out row and you have my undivided attention.

    You pick one up in a store one time and this is what happens

    This has not been proven.

    Exactly, this is why I asked for evidence. It's the same empty stories time after time.

    I could just as easily claim Google set all this crap up to defame Apple. They certainly have the resources to do so.

    Go ahead, prove me wrong.

    And Apple hasn't come forward to deny any the allegation either. Why is that?

    Because they don't generally respond to rumors and wild reports - much less fairy tales like this one.

    Because it's not worth even acknowledging to some weekly SF blogger?

    If the police come knocking, we'll hear the story and it'll be all over the news, not just one local website.

    You're joking right? Good doesn't have to "prove" anything.

    Hmmm, the Apple camp seems mighty quiet here... I wonder why it is that they aren't coming forward to defend their great reputation. After all, if they didn't do it, why not say you didn't? Wouldn't you speak up for yourself if someone had accused you of something that you didn't do? I know I sure as hell would zero problem with speaking up and defending myself...

    This is BS and you know it..... I agree with you that this is a fairytale, though. And Apple created it. ;)

    Because...


    What's the point of saying you didn't do it, when you're being accused of lying in the first place? Anyone that believes they did it would simply say they're lying again. You KNOW this.

    Real mature. You deleted my off topic posts, but yet it's ok for you to post crap like this?

    Irish, you are on VERY thin ice here. I'm warning you to stop now.

    In all fairness my post was on topic. It related to the subject at hand whereas your posts displayed nothing but aggression and the relentless intent to argue.

    I think we have all become bored of your repetitive need to disrupt the clam natured fellow eiC'ers. If you simply cannot debate nicely or speak to others in a respectable manner you will leave everythingicafe. And yes, I couldn't be more serious.

    Real mature? Seriously? When you act like and adult you will be treated in turn.

    Yesterday I was. This latest involvement just pushes the envelope. I also posted a comment about the prototype MBP. Finally I also said a lost iP6 prototype would solidly have me believe this is SOP Apple.

    I will admit that new information would influence me. Are you not open to a changing landscape?

    Google would have a prototype in their possession that Apple staff would try to recover???

    If they had such an item I'd more believe that it would be secretly leant to an OEM versus leaked at this point in time.

    Who are you talking to? I think everyone (mods included) needs to chill a bit.
