Dilbert on lost iPhone prototype
You may have all heard of the iPhone prototype: lost in a bar by an Apple engineer, found by someone who then sold it to Gizmodo. Of course, Gizmodo made a full report about what they've found. Including pictures and a dissection of the phone itself. Poor iPhone...

He also wrote a blog post about these comics, which you can read on his website.
