UPDATE:
Gizmodo apparently found the dead man Apple software engineer who left the iPhone: Gray Powell, a 27-year-old fan of German ales from North Carolina State University.
According to Gizmodo, which reached Powell on Monday by telephone, he sounded "tired and broken. But at least, he’s alive. And apparently, he may still be working at Apple."
For now.
EARLIER:
There were two stories that had gadget geeks and nerds in-general abuzz on Monday. One — about a second volcano erupting in Iceland — was quickly debunked.
