Hi I'm that intern.

No lies involved. We got an email at Wired about the phone (pre-Gizmodo story) and ignored it. After the story we came back to the email, I looked it up on Google, found his real name associated to a post on a forum, searched it on Facebook and, for some very odd reason, he accepted a friends request from me.

I guess the lesson here is not to talk (or accept friends requests) from strangers.

You dishonestly pretended to be interested in friendship with someone and you tell us that he lesson is not to accept friendship requests from strangers?

I take the lesson as "Beware, even the nicest people will rationalize dishonesty."
