Epic Fail By Apple Employee

The prototype iPhone

Apple, perhaps the most infamously paranoid company of all time, complete with triple-secret security zones, blackout curtains hung over conference room windows, flashing red warning lights, prototype devices chained to tables, and all that — only to suffer the (arguably) worst security breach in its history because some poor guy left the next iPhone on a barstool. The irony is just too rich.

The prototype iPhone 4G is now with Gizmodo, who paid $5000 to the man who found it. Unfortunately, Apple remotely killed the phone before they got their hands on it. And now, Apple wants it back.
