via news.yahoo.comPolice have joined in the search for an Apple prototype that went missing from a tequila bar last month. The Apple employees tracked the phone using it’s GPS systems to the home of Sergio Calderon, however they were unable to locate the device. Last year a prototype of the iPhone 4 went missing from a San Francisco beer garden and landed in the hands of the guys at Gizmodo. I’m thinking that Apple employees might need to rethink heading out for a drink after work when they have new technology in their pocket.
