What confuses me is what they're calling a mystery....how did the package get to the wrong address? They say: delivered to wrong address by carrier. Ok... Whomever sent the package did they put a Person or Companies name on the package? Did they also put an address or re- turn address on the package? If not...did the carrier just guess whom the package belonged too?
If (whomever) did in fact put a name and address on the package why would another company whose name and address aren't on the package open it? Isn't normal protocol to mark the package ... Wrong address?
So, if the name and address did not belong to the person or persons receiving the package and they did open it...and not only did they open it but they took pictures of it and tried to figure out how it worked, wouldn't that be a federal offense? Tampering w/ mail?
I read the article 2x's and did not find anywhere how the package was sent... Did I miss the elementary? The 2 + 2? The smoking gun? It's almost as if someone wanted this scandal....something about the whole thing is perplexing....

those kind of people are where they are for a reason.
you think if they asked google to remove something from their servers they'd to it.
they should have took that chip and started shopping it around to china, ibm, microsoft and cash in.
especially when they ignored you for weeks.

Corporations are not people, they have no morals. They have only PR and legal considerations, that are passed trough a cost/benefit evaluation...
If no directly ownership was apparent over the device then the process is open, you can even keep it but the norm is to declare a lost and found and deliver it to the authorities. If the item is then not claimed or a verifiable owner found you normally get to keep it (if this is declared on your report of the finding).edit on 10-9-2012 by Panic2k11 because: (no reason given)

Most likely just a standard switch of sorts.....what they were probably worried about was the code and programming on the switch. If it was sent unsecured it could have been plugged in by anyone with the know how and used for any number of purposes or could have included any number of possible security issues if it had internal network programming already on in. They could probably care less about the hardware.

I do not understand why the American people that are in all aspects enslaved by corporations do not start to make this a talking point. I think this is the cornerstone of all other issues more important than the FED gold issue, lobbying etc...
Addressing that point alone would result in a larger ripple effect that would address also many of the other issues...
