Apple employee caught with Zune player

Palo Alto, CA – In a move that can only be described as ‘what were you thinking?’, an Apple employee was caught listening to a Zune player on his way into the office.

At 8:55 a.m. this morning, security cameras triggered a warning alarm after they were unable to recognize the mp3 player on the employee’s hip.  Security guards were notified immediately of the potential breach and within minutes had tracked down and apprehended the employee.  By 9:05 a.m. he was quarantined and as of the release of this story it is believed he still remains there.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs was visibly furious in a televised impromptu press conference.  “What happened this morning was completely unacceptable and disrespectful to the iPod family of products and the engineers who work on them.  A Zune is like a retarded cousin of the iPod.  This is a work environment.  We’re building the future here.  We don’t have any time for dealing with retarded cousins.  Leave them at home.” Jobs then stormed off the podium while rabid Apple fans cheered wildly from the back of the room and John Mayer launched into a set from his latest CD.

This marks the first such attempted breach of security in the industry since last October when a Toshiba employee was infamously caught bringing a Blu-Ray DVD into work.
