[citation][nom]TommySch[/nom]People should invest in handguns instead of a useless iPad.You cant kill a robber with a shiny locked down tablet. Hell you counldnt even do it with a jail-broken one...[/citation]

i beg to differ i bet if you hit them hard enough with it, it might break and create shiny pointed bits :p

I'm definately not an apple fan, nor a sucker for the hype, but i feel for this poor dude. i hope they catch the waste of space that did this.
Apple product hypewill create more vistims liek this though, the more you flout wealth in public and the greater the gap between rich and poor the more we will see this ...still not fair though!

I hope he gets to find the man responsible and gets locked in a room alone with him for a hour...

Fortunately the pinky is relatively useless (my pinkies are messed up and it's painful for me to use them).

Though I guess a iPad would likely have a great resale value, even if stolen. :(

Sheesh, this is as bad as a few years ago when the PS3 came out, and 90% of buyers were snatching 'em in hopes of scoring $3-10,000US for it on eBay. And then there was tons of paranoia over thieves who'd mug people for their PS3s... This is really just as sad; those that were so desperate to steal an iPad they permanently injured an innocent man for the rest of his life? Sheesh. It's no wonder so many of the more intelligent people have lost all faith in humanity.

[citation][nom]micr0be[/nom]"The bag, however, was tied around Jordan's finger."why? .... why would anyone tie anything to a finger ? especially a pinky ... wtf[/citation]
-.- what kind of stupid question is that?, the bag wasn't tied tied, it was just around his fingers, and a couple of turns and that's it, you never go to the supermarket right?.
When the lil' idiots started to pull the bag became more like a thin rope do to all the pulling did the job.

This is yet another illustration of the need for people to take personal responsibility for their own defense. Either arm yourself, or study martial arts. Until thieves, thugs, and other criminals feel like their lives might be in danger by plying their trade, they will continue to do things like this without regard and without remorse.

[citation][nom]ravewulf[/nom]On the (sort of) up-side, the pinky is not the most useful out of the fingers. Not as bad as losing an index finger anyway. Still sucks though[/citation]

At least he has his middle finger. :)

Watch Pirates of Silicon Valley some day and you'll see how much of a troll Steve Jobs is. Seems it has been that way since the inception. I do not support apple.
