I wonder how many lies were told in order to get this scoop? "Hi, I'm a friend of Brian's, do you know...?"

- ros3 17y agoHi I'm that intern. No lies involved. We got an email at Wired about the phone (pre-Gizmodo story) and ignored it. After the story we came back to the email, I looked it up on Google, found his real name associated to a post on a forum, searched it on Facebook and, for some very odd reason, he accepted a friends request from me. I guess the lesson here is not to talk (or accept friends requests) from strangers.
- raganwald 17y agoYou dishonestly pretended to be interested in friendship with someone and you tell us that he lesson is not to accept friendship requests from strangers? I take the lesson as "Beware, even the nicest people will rationalize dishonesty."
