The poor chap got sacked for publishing a pic to a blog of some Apple computers being delivered to Microsoft. The article quotes the person as saying that he’s still not 100% sure why he was fired – but fired, he was.

Here’s the million dollar quote:

Blogger dismissed from Microsoft – Tech News & Reviews – MSNBC.com: “If firms are discovering that blogging bans can backfire, it also can be difficult to establish fair guidance. “The lines between public and private, and the lines between inside and outside a workplace, are absolutely being blurred,” says John Palfrey, executive director of Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for the Internet and Society. “What makes something effective as a blog is on the edge of what’s uncomfortable for an employer.””
