Mark Cuban iPhone

From Mark Cuban's Reddit AMA:

I have a MacBook Air, but am trying the new Acer with Windows 8. I really, really like Windows 8 on my phone. I have 2 phones. first is samsung the 2nd was an Iphone5. THe new Nokia with windows replaced my Iphone 5… I love myIPad and my macbook air is amazing when it doesnt crash, so i like apple products, but i think as far as phones, both Samsung 3 w android and the windows phone kick the Iphone’s ass. Its not even close.

Craigslist iPhone Shooting

 Craigslist iPhone Shooting

On late Monday, a San Diego couple was shot after meeting a potential buyer who was responding to a Craigslist advertisement.

The two victims posted a Craigslist ad to sell an iPhone and then arranged to meet a prospective buyer in a McDonald’s parking lot.  When the seller and buyer met, the alleged gunman got into the victims' BMW and brandished a gun at the sellers.

“During the potential sale of that cellphone, the suspect produced a gun and tried to rob them of the cellphone and cash,” San Diego police Lt. Paul Rorrison said.

There was a fight inside the vehicle between the three people for the iPhone and the gun fired, officials said.

The sellers, a man and a woman, each suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. They were able to drive themselves to a San Diego hospital after the shooting.

iPhone Tasering: Chinese Woman Tasered Trying to Buy iPhones

iPhone Tasering

Why was this Newton woman tasered?  Apparently she had $16,000 in cash in purchase multiple tax-free iPhones in New Hampshire.  Some speculate she had a scheme to sell the iPhones in her native China.  Since she only spoke Mandarin Chinese, Xiaojie Li apparently did not understand that she was being asked to leave the store.  She had already purchased her maximum amount of iPhones (two) that Apple allows per customer.

iPhone Murder?

Brandon Woodard's Last Moments with his iPhone

David Carr has a pretty compelling essay on the publication the above picture, which shows Brandon Woodward on his smartphone (presumably his iPhone), before he was murdered on the streets of New York City.

The New York Times story argues that showing Mr. Woodward's last moments was acceptable as a use of public service to find the criminal responsible for murder.  Do you agree?
