Thursday morning, employees at a Best Buy in South Brunswick walked into the store to find a pile of debris, a hole in the roof, and a bunch of missing laptops. Theft, to be sure — but how did the plunderers avoid the spider web of alarms? According to Police Sgt. James Ryan, the thieves managed to climb a gas pipe to scale the building, and used some type of suction device to lift a hole in the roof. Ryan speculates that they then lowered themselves through the hole into the store, managing somehow to keep themselves ten feet above the floor at all times, evading the store’s motion sensors. They even kept behind store banners throughout the operation, thus shielding their faces from security cameras. Upon swiping $26,000 worth of Apple laptops, they scurried out the same way they’d come in.
It must be nice to brag about having visual voice mail on some phones, while quietly hiding that it’s an extra $3 a month.
It must be nice to not allow convenient syncing of data, media, bookmarks, etc, via the excellent iTunes environment, instead using clumsier tools if anything is allowed at all, and have your customers just take it in stride.
The Apple Blog has a good overview of the reasons all cell carriers suck, but mostly why Verizon sucks the worst.
