An iPhone walks out of a tequila bar...

And provides perfect fodder for a spoof on O'Brien's late-night talk show

Best Opinion: Gizmodo, Fortune

The video: In a bizarre case that has captivated the tech world, an Apple employee apparently left a prototype of the highly anticipated iPhone 5 in a San Francisco tequila bar — the second time in as many years that one of the company's workers lost an iPhone prototype at a local watering hole. While an extraordinary, "sketchy" hunt for the phone's whereabouts has so far floundered, Conan O'Brien took the opportunity to imagine what Apple would do if and when it finds the perpetrators in a "hilarious spoof" that aired last week on TBS' Conan. (Watch the clip below.) Against the sort of clean, white backdrop seen in Apple's real ads, executives with titles like "President, Torture Division" outline Apple's strategy: "We are planning things that will make Vlad the Impaler look like f***ing Mr. Rogers."

The reaction: Apple's habit of losing iPhones in bars maybe be a "bummer for Apple, but also, kind of funny," says Mat Honan at Gizmodo. The whole ordeal couldn't be better suited for Team Coco, says Philip Elmer-DeWitt at Fortune. Apple's target demographic lines up perfectly with with his "young, hip, well-heeled and wired" audience. Check it out!

In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life. The Bible is filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, such as when He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites ( Exodus 14:21-22 ) or when He provided manna in the wilderness ( Exodus 16:4 ). Remembering these instances strengthens our faith and helps us to trust that God will be faithful again. Scripture Reference: "The L...
