In our pursuit to bringing you the latest in news before anyone else, we do things that are not always construed as right and it seems one site is living in a nightmare. Recently Gizmodo received an iPhone 4 prototype, and it seems it was acquired illegally(stolen… and bought by Gizmodo with this knowledge. The whole story can be read here), and Apple was not too happy about it, and are going after them.

This story comes from Cnet, who are telling the story of Apple recently reporting this incident to the Silicon Valley police, and them beginning investigating Gizmodo today to confirm if anything illegal was conducted and if charges will be filed.

This is a very sad case. I cannot believe someone could get in this much trouble for just doing their jobs, but I guess their job description doesn’t include reporting on stolen property. I sincerely hope nothing bad comes to the editors at Gizmodo, but this shows how serious apple is about their products.

Do you think this should be happening? What Should happen to them? Do you feel any sadness for them? comment below.

Well that’s all the iPhone related news you will hear from me. This was so! serious that I thought I should let you guys know about it.

Thanks for the tip sybil ann
