Field testing an as yet publicly unseen and unreleased product should not require taking said item into a bar, particularly not into a bar well known as a gathering place for geeks or into any other public place where many folks are gathered, especially if secrecy is of any concern. Leaving such a device laying around in an unattended manner is also not a great idea either unless the field test involves experimenting with anti-theft procedures. Seems very unprofessional to me. Why do you suggest that I am daring to oppose Apple? Is that something that I should be fearful of engaging in? I am not opposing them. However, it is my position that they brought this upon themselves either through intent or through foolishness. In either case, they should shoulder the blame themselves in this instance instead of lashing out at others by causing the power of legal authorities to wreak retribution upon the silly individuals who were reveling in the thought that they had, if for only a little while, bested the mighty goliath.
