∞ Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am tracks down thief with Find My iPad

Written by

Apple’s built-in tracking technology helped rap star Will.i.am to track down a thief that broke into his Bentley last week. The thief reportedly made off with $10,000 in merchandise from the rapper’s car, including an iPad. Turns out, he probably should have left the iPad behind — Will.i.am used Apple’s Find My iPad technology to get a location on the thief and gave it to police.

    maybe the thief was trying to spare us more insipid, worthless, corporate, morally vacuous music…

      It is amazing on how little nice things people have to say about others. So what if you don’t like Will.I.am ? So what if you agree with this supposed ” educated ” person on music.
      Have you got nothing nice to say? Perhaps how great it is , that we live in an age where technology can help us catch thieves , or what a fantastic web site this is, how great your Mac product is, instead of taking the piss out of what is a serious problem in our communities.
      It is a pity that I have to continuously read forums with some turkey making some personal remark about something totally unrelated to the original post and then to get annoyed and to then stoop so low to pass a comment on people such as yourselves.
      Some people like Will.I.am. Some people like Bach, opera, jazz, rap, techno and so on, some people don’t.
      Take a look around , it is a big world and people have different tastes and thoughts and fair enough, you have posted yours, but say something positive instead of bagging someone you probably don’t know the 1st thing about and what they do for some people and their communities. I am sure it is probably a lot more than what you have accomplished in your life.
      If you have nothing nice to say, don’t waste everybody’s time by posting some dumb arse comment on a great website. E-mail your friends and tell them instead, because I am sure they are thrilled to hear your positive remarks all the time and no doubt think what a wonderful out going person you ” really ” are! ( again ).
      Get a life!

    Fergie is still the hottest member and probably the most talented member of Black Eyed Peas.-’”
