Apple Gestapo: How Apple Hunts Down Leaks

This is wholly-fabricated nonsense. I worked at Apple for 5+ years and, besides for knowing what actually happens in these situations, there are a couple of dead giveaways that "Tom" was never an Apple employee (or, at least, not in Cupertino).

"They don't ask for cameras because there are no cameras at Apple: Employees are not allowed to get into the campus with them."

I mean, really, come on. That's just laughable.

"Getting into the campus" is also a giveaway, in that "the campus" is basically "everything in Cupertino within 5 minutes of 280".

And of course, if you've ever walked up to those buildings, they're just "guarded" by receptionists.

I can also confirm that Apple does not have a "no camera" policy on campus.

Or a "gestapo". The security is very well run, however.

While Apple employees aren't subject to that, if you're just wandering around as a visitor taking pictures, security will ask you to stop.
