Those of you wanting more information on this debacle would do well to get it from the (admittedly biased) source,
Gizmodo itself.
Most comments I've read condemn Gizmodo's actions, if not for using the lost phone to their own gain then at least for publishing Gary Powell's name and information in what they consider to be a serious breach of journalistic ethics. On the other hand, reactions to the police raid are more split; one camp considers it karmic justice while another decries what the police did as illegal and bemoans the fact that law enforcements works in the interests of corporations. Also,
an expert claims that the warrant used in this search was invalid.
Me? I'm grabbing the popcorn and settling down. This is getting good. Oh, and I support Gizmodo, I guess.
