We thought the crookedest little Apple Store in Texas was an isolated case. We were wrong: confessions from Apple's retail squads around the country (and world) poured in. Apple has a serious naughty behavior problem on its hands, and the Evil Geniuses are speaking out.
The sources we talked to this summer described an Apple Store that wasn't just poorly managedit was a personal playground.

And from a website that traffics in stolen property, who has been banned from attending Apple events in exchange for not going to jail.
Stop the presses.

I'm fine with people here discussing anything they want - navel lint, astrology, bacteriological genotypes, knitting, who cares.
