Aside from whether Gawker was right or not to name Gray, it's reasons like this why I will never work in such a secretive environment like Apple. It's not that I can't keep a secret, of course I can. But I think it is asking a lot of someone to take a development/unreleased phone into the wild that could be worth $millions to Apple and make sure it doesn't get lost. Before someone says "Well he didn't have to take it to the bar" - well hold on. As a product manager myself, I know first hand how important it is to spend a large amount of time test-driving your product and eating your own dog food. To get really good ideas and feedback on a device like an iPhone, it probably is required to take it outside of the office and actually use it "in the wild". I just don't think I would want to shoulder such responsibility, esp as we can now see the public fallout from loosing it. You can imagine the private fallout that is also occurring right now for Gray. Some jobs are just not worth having, and maybe this is Apple asking too much of its engineers and product people.
