Cheating Husband on Facebook
Wife learns facts

(AP) — Dread of the unknown hung in
the air as Lynn France typed two words
into the search box on Facebook: the name
of the woman with whom she believed her
husband was having an affair.
Click. And there it was, the stuff of

literally dressed as Prince Charming. His

executive in charge of iPhone engi­
neering, has left the company weeks

reputation for quality was under
threat.
The issue snowballed into a pub­
licity crisis and Apple was forced to
call a press conference to tackle the
matter. Apple CEO Steve Jobs
maintaine'd there was nothing
wrong with the iPhone 4, and that

shared by other smartphones.
Apple hired Papermaster in No­
vember of 2008, luring him away
