Mmmm.... now I'm in the mood for some hot 
pie or maybe hot fresh crisp!
Silver-lining....they could make a mint (for charity maybe) selling off the melted, charred remains of Macs on ebay as collector items.

Office Space
Come on guys how old are? Haven't you seen the movie Office Space? Go watch it right now.
Neither do I. But then again my sense of humor is rusty at times...

i think this is more of their internal company servers, not the huge server farm for the customer stuff
Not quite sure why everyone is joking about this, what if it was YOUR house or office?
As far as NDA's, For a private company I don't think it matters.
I have a friend that is a firefighter, and he responded to the Pentagon. The Pentagon has their own firefighters, but some things are too big for them to handle. They were not allowed to go in, they had to fight the blaze from the outside. He said that a lot of them did go inside, because they were more focused on getting the fire out, and there really is nothing to see anyway.

Meanwhile, as some late night RD Techs are working on the new Macbooks, they try to solve the problem of the new Macbook feeling to hot to the touch....
I heard the firefighters saw the new MacBook design, new Apple Cinema Displays and the 3rd generation iPhones.
The way MobileMe has been plagued with problems lately, imagine if this had been the building that housed MobileMe!
No one has balls as big as mine.
I held on to AAPL shares throughout all these cry dramas about sickness of the great Leader, fires, shrinking sales, sinking markets, melting polar ice, etc.
I have balls the size of freaking watermelon.
I am King ******* Kong. Hear me ROAR!

He let them in. The firefighters just had to sign an NDA before they could extinguish the flames.
I would happily volunteer to get everything out so wont get damaged... I might need to have a play with the stuff though... And take photos and videos... For... Evidence
Quite frankly you'd be better off getting yourself to a doctor and having your 'nads checked than posting on the internet
Or have you been at the vac pump a tad too much lately?
I say this knowing no one got hurt so I assume it's safe to joke about...
I hope they weren't using MobileMe to back up all the stuff they lost!

You need to "lighten" up.
No one was killed, no one lost their personal property. I'm sure today isn't the best day for many of the people who work there, (and I'm sure it's a great day for some others!) but it's just work, they'll have a few drinks and by a day or two from now they'll be in new temporary space and their work life will be pretty much back to normal.
If you think that accidental damage to some company's property is a topic that needs to be respected as if someone died, then I feel sorry for you. You gotta learn to lighten up or you'll live a very sad life.
dear steve,
i know times can be hard with the recent failure of mobile me, iphone 3g still having a quite of few bugs, and nvidia saying all gpu's in the current mbp are defective, but this is not the time to give in. look up north at us redmond people, we have been at it for years trying to produce a decent product, just b/c your company has hit a few bumps here lately burning down corporate hq is not the answer. please take this as a invitation to attend m$ board meeting to see how to deal with these types of issues and attempt to strive through them.
your pal,
Bill G.
