很久以前,有一部很好笑的電影叫作《上帝也瘋狂》。
整部電影所描述的是:一支可樂瓶意外掉到南非,結果被一位布希曼Bushmen人撿到,從而在不存在可樂瓶的原住民聚落裡,引發一連串瘋狂爆笑的有趣情節。
幾天前,有人撿到一支未上市的iPhone 4G,並且賣給Gizmodo寫成一系列爆料報導時,我突然想到《上帝也瘋狂》這部電影。
雖然,紐約時報有篇報導正經八百地說:「把iPhone 4G弄丟,對蘋果而言,是一件非常了不得的大事。」
Late Monday night, Gizmodo said that it received a letter from Bruce Sewell, Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel, requesting the phone back. “It has come to our attention that Gizmodo is currently in possession of a device that belongs to Apple,” Mr. Sewell wrote in a letter that Gizmodo published.
“This letter constitutes a formal request that you return the device to Apple,” the letter said.
不過,就一個非常冷眼旁觀的角度來看,這整件事就像一支可樂瓶意外掉到不存在可樂瓶的原住民聚落那樣有趣。
