据说前段时间因醉酒后不慎把尚属机密的苹果第四代iPhone手机原型机遗弃在酒吧里的苹果软件工程师加里鲍威尔(Gray Powell)受媒体报道和公司的压力而几乎崩溃。不过,这小子看来因祸得福了。因为他在酒吧里曾用那台丢失的iPhone发过一条消息称德国啤酒非常好喝,而这条消息也随着事件的暴光而广为流传,所以德国汉莎航空公司向这位可怜人发出邀请,赞助他全程免费前往德国慕尼黑品尝啤酒和感受文化。
而在中国,也是给苹果扛活的富士康公司的九名员工却在半年内相继自杀,相信是工作压力等多种因素所致,其中有一例也是因为丢失了一台用于合作伙伴测试的原型机。和美国的那个所谓的“可怜人”相比,这些生产苹果的可谓是“悲惨的人”了。没有人解释,没有人知晓,更没有人邀请乘商务仓以及喝德国酒,就这么结束了。
那些天天享用苹果iPhone和iPod的粉丝们,你们可曾意识到你手里的“酷”机背后有多少血和泪吗?我曾经订购的iPod是深圳生产的,应该就是从富士康发货的,我要再买iPhone会很有顾虑的。我的iMac是上海生产的,不知道那家代工厂姓氏名谁,也不知是否也像富士康那样有如此残酷的故事。我的苹果鼠标和键盘也是在中国组装的,但不知具体在哪儿。
苹果曾表示关注此类事件,也发表过相应的调查报告,但似乎无济于事。
都是给苹果扛活,咋差距这么大呢?

关于那个传闻中的iPod广告
可以通过Google Maps看看这个奇怪的iPod样的东西:

我昨天看下面这个CNN新闻的时候也看到这个事儿了。
Skype sued over peer-to-peer technology
http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/27/technology/business2_browser0327/
不过其评论说这应该是一个HOAX,并提到一位DIGG用户的观点:如果这真是JOBS故意所为,那么那个IPOD要和真的一模一样才行,因为他是一个完美主义者。我认为是这么回事儿,巧合罢了。而且,读这个新闻还学了一个单词,PERFECTIONIST,呵呵。
"Apple iPod ad a likely hoax
April 1 is also Apple's 30th anniversary, and the yucks are just beginning. Take, for example, this post claiming that Apple has created an iPod ad visible from space. Blogger Richard Boakes found a spot on the map in Australia that looks a bit like an iPod, and relates an unlikely tale about Steve Jobs winning the land from the late Australian mogul Kerry Packer. Some observers noted that the area abounds with similar structures, which are most likely pools left over from strip-mining operations. A Digg.com user smartly points out the best reason for deeming this a hoax: The supposed iPod's screen proportions don't match the real thing, a flaw that the perfectionist Jobs would never have allowed".
