Oops is, yet again, an Apple term

Chris Gaylord has an article in the Christian Science Monitor about a lost iPhone:

An Apple engineer accidentally left an iPhone prototype in a bar in Silicon Valley. No, this isn't a republished story from 2010. This is a bizarre moment of tech deja vu, almost exactly one year after a different Apple employee left a different iPhone prototype in a bar in Silicon Valley. Apple security hustled to recover this second missing prototype, according to CNET, who uncovered the story.
Whereas last year's incident included checkbook journalism, accusations of criminal misconduct, and a police investigation of the tech blog Gizmodo, "this year's lost phone seems to have taken a more mundane path," reports CNET. "It was taken from a Mexican restaurant and bar and may have been sold on Craigslist for $200."
The iPhone 5 prototype (or whatever the upcoming handset will be called) landed in Cava 22, a tequila bar in San Francisco. A couple days after it went missing, Apple reps reached out to the San Francisco police, according to CNET's anonymous source.
The company electronically tracked down the experimental phone to a home in the city's Bernal Heights neighborhood. With an Apple rep in tow, the police approached the house and interviewed a resident in his twenties. The man "acknowledged being at Cava 22 on the night the device went missing", but insisted he knew nothing about the missing prototype. He agreed to let police search his home. The officers found nothing. "Before leaving the house, the Apple employees offered the man money for the phone, no questions asked, but the man continued to deny he had knowledge of the phone."
The report did not mention specifics about the iPhone prototype, such as the design or operating system. We'll need to wait for the official announcement, possibly later this month.

Rico says this'll teach you not to take your prototype out and drink tequila. But you'd think, if they tracked it to the guy's house, they could've just called it while the cops were there and listen for the ringing...
