This one cracks me up. I don't know if it's true, but I kind of hope it is because as far as revenge fantasies go, this story's pretty good.
It seems someone at Canada's Globalive (Global Wireless) got fired due to ?poor performance in marketing.? Did he do what the rest of us would have, which is head for the supply closet and pilfer reams of paper, staplers and whatever else he can get his hands on? Well, he may or may not have, but he also found time to post the company's inside information on Howard Forums. 
There are leaks, and then there are leaks. This one was like a geyser. The canned staffer posted an incredible number of good-to-fuzzy screen captures revealing details on upcoming phones and pricing on plan features. In fact, there are too many pics to post here. (For a peek at the actual images, click here or here.)
Due to the sheer volume, BoyGenius summarized the info for your viewing pleasure. (??prepare to mess yourself,? the site says, ?because if even half of this stuff is true, the Canadian wireless landscape is about to make a serious shift for the better starting in Q4.?)
