“A bomb threat at Apple’s distribution center in Elk Grove, Calif., has forced an evacuation of three buildings while emergency personnel assess the potential threat,” AppleInsider reports.
“People with knowledge of Monday’s ongoing incident informed AppleInsider that the eastern three buildings A, B and C have been evacuated at the Apple Sacramento Campus,” AppleInsider reports.
“The site is used for receiving, warehousing and logistics, and is comprised of three warehouses totaling 450,000 square feet,” AppleInsider reports.

Looks like there are so many sore losers in the industry, that can’t take defeat and aren’t capable of innovation. When FUD doesn’t even work, well they resort to the dirty tactics of bomb threats.
Would be nice to end this bullshit with an all out FBI investigation.
You’re so right. Probably a Droid. I’m sure the FBI is already involved.
Some people will do anything to get their hands on a new iPad2.
Ballmer is getting really pathetic these days…
funny how we all thought of the same thing… desperate competion jeje
LoL, awesomeness as usual. I ain’t seen that graphic in decades.
Cute! It takes me back. 🙂
Awesome! Probably an incompatible INIT in the System Folder…
I assume you got that from the beta copy of the next version of Windows. How’s that beta testing going for you?
I heard the call was traced back to a Kin…..
In addition to warehousing, logistics and receiving, one of the buildings houses AppleCare and Apple Store phone agents. The bomb threat could have been a caller in to tech support.
HaHaHa……probably some poor sucker trying to do the right thing…… bought a Mac and is frustrated trying to use windows in a virtual emulator….. Microsoft said it was Apple’s fault…… after all, wasn’t Windows just stolen ideas (poorly executed) from Apple ?
I’m guessing someone who missed the AAPL swing and it trying not to short the stock. Lets see, 2+ points this morning and now -1+. What a crock, I hope they find out who called it in and hang them high.
Come on, a bomb scare really? They can’t get any more “innovative” then that.
Turns out it was a bomb. But The box was clearly marked Blackberry Playbook so it was easily recognized as a dud.
Good one!
This means there will be a threat at Microsoft soon, as they will want to copy it.
Brilliant. And Rim will say that only their threats are Enterprise Threats.
(one apple store genius to the next)…no, he’s saying “I’m Steve B-A-L-L-M-E-R”
Yeah, but any genius knows that could be any number of clowns in todays IT CEO gang
Someone pissed off they can’t get an iPad 2. I got up at 5 am this morning determined to get one today. I went to the wrong apple store. The mall in Brandenton Fl. got quite a few that sold in a hour. The mall I went to (International Mall in Tampa Fl. got none!) either did 5 best buys I stopped at.
By 1pm I was mother f’in apple. Now that I had a nap, I’m ready to try again tomorrow. What the chance the apple store in Tampa International mall wouldn’t get any 2 days in a row? Slim I hope!
I would never be so mad to do what this person did. But I could see why someone could get mad at apple other then a rival.
Come on. It’s been two weeks practically. The one I ordered a week
Ago From Apple won’t be here till April 26. Almost May!
I have been to that facility, when they were still manufacturing Power Macs. It was impressive. I work with a guy who spent 20 years there working for Apple.
