A million bucks of MacBook Pros

Days like that are dreaded by the Sys Admins and Techs who have to burn an image on all those Macs.

My friend goes to that school, interesting that his MBP was probably in that shipment or something...

The plural of "passerby" is not "passerbys," it's "passers by." Same For AG--it's Attornies General, not Attoney Generals. I wonder if the plural of MacBook Pro should be MacBooks Pro instead of MacBook Pros? :-)

What an uninteresting exposé on the shipping industry... this happens every day, millions of times... stuff on a pallet. It's amazing what you can post on YouTube and then put on Digg. Wouldn't be "news" if it wasn't Apple hardware...

It is not even all that unusual for this size order to go through. Think of all the schools that buy laptops for hundreds or thousands of students every year, companies that buy their employees new hardware, etc. it's probably not very often that they are Macbook Pros though.

Transportation seals are designed so that they need to be cut off - they are not "locks", they are high security seals.

That aside, other then the novelty aspect of these being Mac's, millions and millions of dollars of merchandise of all sorts travel by truck every day of the year - this is no different, really.

It's not a lock, it's a seal placed by the shipper. The seal is just a stainless steel bolt with a serial number stamped into it. If the shipment arrives with the seal tampered with, the customer can refuse the shipment. Prevents people from skimming a few pieces of product off the truck during transit.

IF IT WAS TO COME FROM APPLE IT WOULD HAVE A SEAL NOT A PAD LOCK ON IT

Anyone else find it strange that they cut the lock off the truck? Perhaps a million bucks of STOLEN MacBook Pros? :-)
