How not to lose a next generation iphone prototype!

You may enjoy reading the story of the Apple Engineer who left the 4th Generational iphone prototype at a bar. Here is the basic story on Gizmodo!



Here is the short end of the story:



So an Apple Engineer walks into a bar....Not a joke but a real story-



-Engineer throws back a few cold ones and leaves the bar with the iphone on his chair.

-Bar patron finds the iphone and takes it home.

-Patron plays with the phone and discovers it is disguised and may be the new iphone prototype.

-Apple remotely turns the phone off.

-Patron calls Apple to return the phone, but Apple basically blows him off!

-Patron calls a few tech companies to sell and gets 5K from Gizmodo for the prototype.

-Gizmodo disects the prototype and believes it is the real thing!

-Gizmodo contacts Apple about the possible iphone prototype.

-Steve Jobs calls Gizmodo and requests the stolen property to be returned.

-Gizmodo asks for the request in writing and receives 1 page paper from General Counsel!

-Gizmodo returns the iphone prototype to Apple.



I feel sorry for the engineer, but at the same time, it's his own dang fault and it's a pretty funny story! It would not surprise me if another Silicon Valley Tech company (ie Google) gives the engineer a call and offers him a job!



Who would've thought that this could happened!

Happy Easter Everyone!!

Just when we thought Spring was right around the corner and temperatures hit 60 degrees, it mother nature decides to snow for 2 straight days! We got about 4-5 inches of new snow. Nights have also cooled off and we’ve had run the heater more often. It was great weather last weekend; I sported some shorts last Saturday, replaced the gas tank for the bbq and grilled some steaks! Typical Utah weather and you never when “Old Man” winter will go away!


It was nice to see Alice & Boyd along with the kids a few weeks back. Sorry I didn’t have much extra time to go and hang out that week. I had about every night scheduled and it got a little crazy to say the least! However, it was good to get together in PG, have some food and have some fun!

The Jazz season has almost come to an end! There are about 5 games left in the season and the Jazz are currently 2nd place in the Western Conference! The playoffs are right around the corner and hopefully they can make a nice push to get to the Finals! Go Jazz

The Real Salt Lake season just started, which means summer is right around the corner. The first home game is a week from Saturday and we are excited to see them play in person and defend their MLS Cup title! It’s nice that the Jazz season is winding down and we are moving into the Real Salt Lake season.

This past week we got a new HP printer (mulit functional) along with some new Adobe software! We are excited to put these two things to use and create some new things. We both probably need a little Adobe training, but we'll be purchasing some sort of book/workbook to get a better understanding of it!

We are thankful to celebrate Easter this day! This is one of the single most important events in our worlds history and we are grateful to Jesus Christ for his selfless sacrifice and resurection!
