Jason Chen and the case of the lost iPhone

If you were on any tech website the past few days, you can’t get away from the story about Gizmodo’s blogger Jason Chen. An Apple engineer lost a prototype of the next gen iPhone. Someone found it at a bar and sold it to Gizmodo for $5000. Gizmodo’s Jason Chen dissected the phone and wrote about it on the Gizmodo website. San Mateo Police raided Jason Chen’s home this week and took a bunch of his computer equipment. You can follow the whole saga here.

During the channelAPA.com East Coast Tour 2010, we also connected with Decipher (aka DC aka Danny Chung). He talks about his music background and what type of music influences him. His music has been popular with channelAPA viewers including There She Goes and Hyundai Daewoo Kia. The guy freestyles too. (see Step into a World). He’s also been in some big collbos like All About the Money and One of the Best. Look for more collabos coming soon on Decipher’s next album “The Effect” dropping Summer 2010.
