I'm sorry. I think I'm missing something and I don't mean to appear to be sarcastic, but would not changing the password suffice?
The Sun Unleashes Coronal Mass Ejection At Earth 220
astroengine writes "Yesterday morning, at 08:55 UT, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory detected a C3-class flare erupt inside a sunspot cluster. 100,000 kilometers away, deep within the solar atmosphere (the corona), an extended magnetic field filled with cool plasma forming a dark ribbon across the face of the sun (a feature known as a 'filament') erupted at the exact same time. It seems very likely that both eruptions were connected after a powerful shock wave produced by the flare destabilized the filament, causing the eruption. A second solar observatory, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, then spotted a huge coronal mass ejection blast into space, straight in the direction of Earth. Solar physicists have calculated that this magnetic bubble filled with energetic particles should hit Earth on August 3, so look out for some intense aurorae — a solar storm is coming."

In this day in age, you can never discount marketing ploys, but Apple doesn't usually do this. That said, Gizmodo, by disassembling the phone, broke the law regarding misappropriation of found property and they showed themselves as classless and unethical... anything for a scoop. I hope if they lose some property, the finder treats them with more respect.

...in the same direction, or in some other direction. Money in the bank is freedom, in some respects, and will allow you to be creative in this endeavor, or in some other endeavor. I find security in many places - my wife, my kids, my philosophy, but just as important, it's nice to have that 50 grand in the bank and my 401 all ready to tap. Not having to sweat the mortgage, food, health insurance, car payment, etc frees the mind to wander to other places.
