All's fair in media and tech wars...

OOOOh, the journalist who (bought and?) wrote about the 4th gen. Iphone the Apple engineer left in a bar had his house raided and computers seized. Legal issue: does the home of a blogger journalist get the same legal protections as a news room? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has a lot of clout with the tech crimes unit which raided this guy's house, as well as with DAs and judges in the Silicon Vally area. So what gives? Is this a miscarriage of justice, or is all fair in media and tech wars?
