Hasta La Gadget!

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart has weighed in on the missing iPhone debacle, and the man is bewildered about Apple’s actions, to say the least.

Stewart isn’t pleased with the aggressive behavior of the police force investigating a lost iPhone prototype, which was purchased and published by tech blog Gizmodo. Last week, San Mateo police reportedly bashed in Gizmodo editor Jason Chen’s door to enter his home and confiscate his computers and other electronic gear.

“The cops had to bash into the guy’s door?” he said while a screen reading “Appholes” appeared in the background. “Don’t they know there’s an app for that?”

Stewart proceeds to mourn over the Apple of old times, when the company depicted itself as a rebel. Now Apple is acting more like “The Man,” he suggests.

Say what you will about police actions, but without apparent modesty, my favorite part of the clip is around the 4:45 mark — where Wired.com gets a mention for our scoop about a tipster claiming that Apple last week traced its missing iPhone and showed up at the finder’s front door.
