In one of what has to be one of the funniest tech related articles of the week, Donald Goodrich of Ohio was arrested on Friday for brandishing a gun at his local Apple Store, while threatening to shoot his iPhone because it was not working.
Goodrich walked into the store in Cincinnati, Ohio, walked up to the Genius Bar, and began yelling "I'm so mad, I could pop a 9mm at [my iPhone]." Goodrich then continued, "I’ll do it right now! Look!" He then pulled up his shirt, showed the gun, and kept yelling.
The employee at the Genius Bar managed to keep the crazed Goodrich distracted until the cops arrived however, and no one was hurt, not even the iPhone.
Goodrich did have a permit for a concealed weapon, so he was charged with aggravated menacing, as a number of employees and customers said they felt threatened by Goodrich's tirade.
