I don't mean to be pedantic (and I certainly don't mean to defend this article), but the author doesn't claim that the engineer was fired; they say, "Apple may yet fire the engineer". Which is true, I suppose - Apple may yet fire any of their employees. Nevertheless, it is still a ridiculously speculative thing to write in a "news story".

- MWinther 16y agoI am fairly sure that is a rewrite from when I read it. I reacted on how they claimed the engineer was fired in no uncertain terms.
- tzs 16y agoIt looks like the article is being updated (without being so marked). Shortly before I posted it said that "Apple summarily fired the engineer who lost the phone".
- turnersauce 16y agoOh dear, as if this article needs another reason to add to the list of why it is terrible... My apologies for blaming you for the error.
