You cannot be serious.

In fact, FB saves all data...literally every electron that ever crosses FB (txts, msgs, comments, photos, updates, etc. etc. I mean everything) permanently AND indefinitely on its dynamic backups. Please do not fall under the impression than ANYthing is deleted ever.

1. visit the 1 or 2 Apple stores in the town identified above by GIZ;

Sam, also, I presume Gizmodo is fully willing to cover this Wiz's full salary/benefit package until he finds a new job, as Apple is likely to can him?

It is quite likely he wont be an Apple employee for long after GIZ hosed him in this story.

I hope Newt and the bible-thumping Dick Santorum fight it out as long as possible...the entertainment value so far has been priceless (I was sad to see Rick "I have never, ever, lost an election" Perry drop out so soon lulz.
