Remains of the Day: Knighty knight

02.03.2011
Steve Jobs may not be a knight of the British Empire, but don't worry, you can still call him "sir." Plus, we've got crime, legal drama, and high adventure in the skies. So don't go anywhere: the remainders for Tuesday, March 1, 2011 are comin' right atcha.

According to British paper The Telegraph (and why you trust a publication named after the greatest technological development of the early 19th century), Prime Minister Gordon Brown blocked an honorary knighthood for Steve Jobs after the Apple CEO declined to speak at a political conference; Brown's office, however, denies the allegation. No biggie: everybody knows Steve's holding out for a barony, anyway.

Paul Devine, , pleaded guilty to wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering, and engaging in transactions with criminally-derived proceeds. Devine will pay restitution and has already agreed to forfeit money and property worth around $2.28 million. The break in the case came last year when Apple found evidence on Devine's work laptop. Kids, a tip: next time you plan to defraud your company of millions of dollars, don't do it on a device they have full access to. Oh, and while you're at it, don't defraud your company of millions of dollars.
