Chinese Developer Gets Robbed, Steve Jobs Shows Concern

Here’s the story. The victim, Stone, is a Chinese Apple developer from Tencent, the company which created China’s most popular IM software QQ. He’s invited by Apple to attend WWDC2010. Being a tech guy, he brought along his iPad on the trip. During the conference, he got robbed on a bus in San Francisco. In the fight with the robber, he got hurt with rib broken, and his iPad failed to survive. The screen was completely shattered. Then, he took it to the Apple store for repair. The Apple genius felt bad for his tragedy. So, Stone got a new one in return and at the same time, Steve Jobs wrote three words to comfort him: ”safe travels home”.

    That's a nice story. Glad everything worked out for him in the end…

  • Jessemarple

    What other company does that? None that I've ever known.

  • Dralnux

    Nice Story. Apple is the Best

  • Bongo

    Good story. Glad he was OK and got a new ipad.

  • LoungeLizard

    Everybody sing along “I broke my ribs in San Franciscooooh.”

  • Muazez

    This story must be fake. The real Steve would reply with “It still works. No big deal. Sent from my iPad”.

    I wish Microsoft and it's hardware makers will behave like that. Back in 2003, I encounter similar thing in NYC and got an extremely cold shoulder from both, Dell and Microsoft, after hrs of debate nagging on phone without result but end up forcing to get a new pocket pc which I needed badly to restore my data in it.

    Cost for a new pocket pc and cost for transfer all from my own credit card plus without a single word from neither company's representative, not to mention from the CEO himself.
