Iphone Lost and Found

Im sure you all have heard about the new iphone being lost! Well, its stirred up a lot of contraversy for apple and the man who lost it. The story goes something like this..

A 27 year old man Gray Powell who is an engineer for apple was out at a bar in California having what looked like the iphone 3gs with him (but really it was the new iphone) where he left the new phone on the bar stool. Then a really random drunk guy saw it at the bar and gave it to the guys who were sitting next to Powell. They said it wasnt theirs, waited around for someone to come back and claim it but no one did. While waiting the man was plying around with the phone, thinking it was just a normal iphone but what was weird was that it only had 6 apps and when he tried using the camera it kept crashing. He went to the facebook app and saw Powells picture.

The next morning the man woke up and was going to return it to its rightful owner but the phone was dead! He then noticed it wasnt a normal iphone having the camera on the front. He thought it was fake so he opened the phone up and saw that it was completly different then the iphone hes use to. From that point, he called apple many times but people didnt beleieve him and just gave him a waiting number. He never recieved a call back.

I dont really know how, but weeks later Gizmodo got the iphone for $5,000. At the time GIzmodo didnt know if it was the real thing or not but when they took the phone apart they realized it was! They documented it before returning it to apple. They contated Powell through messaging on his phone and safely returned the phone. As for, Powell his career is up in the air. Some people thought that he could have done it on purpose for publicity.

I think it was an honest mistake. People lose phones all the time, and yes even proffessionals. Especially at a bar, when you have a few drinks in you it just makes it that much easier to lose things. What I think is crazy is that other drunk people at the bar didnt steal it. Apple and Powell really lucked out with having the phone be returned to them.

Candi Hairlites making it big through facebook

My cousin Maureen had started making these colorful beads that clip into girl's hair abbout a year ago. They are strings of different colored beads that are all different lengths that clip in the hair. She use to just make them for fun. She recently advertised them on Facebook by making a fan page and they are taking off from there. She couldnt believe how many people were buying them! Just from facebook, she has gotten alot of business! A salesperson from a high retailer found the fan page and contacted her about selling candi hairlites in their store. This is a huge step for her business and its all thanks to facebook. It just shows you that advertising through facebook can really get you far!
