Citing an (IP) Intellectual Property infringement (aside from the roughly $70,000 bidding price prior to a cease-and-desist order that halted the auction of it on eBay… which had to garner someone’s attention internally) Apple has demanded that a MacBook 3G prototype (from 2007) be returned to the company.
Long story short: such a frenzy certainly puts the ‘Fan’ into ‘Boy’ as the die-hard Apple legions are obviously a unique bunch indeed!
