Apple introduces iFire 1.0

Wow,

Apple releases "iFire 1.0" Kewl.
Amazing how many iFiremen were on scene at the iCampus putting out the iFire 1.0. I bet they used lots of iWater to put out the iFire 1.0.
There are even iRumors of iFire 1.1.1 to be released in the near future.

How can anyone rate a fire as positive? Even if you dislike the company?

Man that has have to hurt. I been through fires at companies and an apt fire - yeah devestating.

maybe 'cause no one was hurt?

Saw the coverage last night at a friend's place and on my way home I exited 1 exit early to drive by. The cops blocked off the way into Valley Green Dr. which is where another good friend of mine lives. Damage doesn't look as bad as it did on TV though.

Sorry Apple.

What the heck would Apple R&D or IT for that matter need with a Bunsen Burner?

Must haves!

Used for making tea.

I care about so much

It's time to get a good man¹, settle down, and get a life!

99.9999% of the world is outside of Infinite Loop, get to know it.

Backup

Knowing Apple, if the building did have secrete research projects they'll defiantly be locked away at night. For any data stored in perhaps servers, they'll probably have them running in RAIDS copying the same data onto multiple hard drives. I was freaked out when I heard the news. I just really hope nothing large has been destroyed. Such as perhaps a new Apple display design or future iMac. Maybe Apple would of pdf them onto a computer hopefully

Apparently there were five attempted 911 calls but

1 guy's battery was flat
1 guy was finishing a level of Super Monkey Ball
1 guy had his phone tethered to his MBP via Netshare downloading a Unix distro
1 guy sent a distress email from his .Me account that's expected a week next Tuesday

and the guy who did get through got disconnected five times whilst explaining where the fire was.

Best post of the thread!!!

Oh yeah, they did get to take some pics of the PowerBook G5, here it is!

Notice the smoke!

Even after all this time they still can't cool a PowerBook G5

Because it is rumored that it didn't hit the R&D building.

It's where Steve stores his raisins and dates, among other dried fruits. Steve believes in a healthy colon.

Vg6

That was Valley Green Six smoking in the video. It's located about a block away from the Infinite Loop campus. R&D moved out of that building and over to the IL campus in the late 90's. VG6 was the home of desktop R&D for many years.

I'm really confused now.

Do we know for sure what building and department the fire was at yet?
