  • sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10What I really want to know is, why did they have to cut the lock off the back of the truck? Are we really sure that the people in the video didn't hijack the shipment?
  • greebowarrior, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5best look on ebay for a job-lot of macbooks going cheap

  • WhichWayDidHeGo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That was actually a seal the shipper places on the door so that the receiver knows no one opened the door in transit.

    It's a seal that they cut not a lock...The seal lets them know if the shipment was tampered with before it arrives.
  • rick2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2With expensive shipments you allways place a metal band (not lock) that has to be cut off at the destination and then signed for.

    If the metal is tampered of damaged when the shipment gets to you you can turn it all down as it may have been opened and stuff stolen.

    edit: loker269 got there before me heh
  • enrique550, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4wow, and, wow. mine is that one in the corner, under the brown box with tape on it..yeah that one.
  • paulmdx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5The irony being $1M of PCs is a lot less amazing.. ;-)

    /me prepares to be dugg down..
  • deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I'd watch it.
  • Auzy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I work at an Apple reseller here in Aus and most I've seen is probably $150,000 of Macbook / Macbook pro's.

    Wait until they start opening all the boxes for them. Even 30 MacBooks are painful to get the brown boxes open and clean up the packaging. I'd hate to be the one checking in 500 Macbooks into our stockroom
  • sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4From TFA: The school where I work (fullsail.com) started this thing where most new students order their own MacBook Pro for their classes. Apparently this truck is just the first shipment.

    Full Sail is a school that offers intensive courses in design, show production, and business. It's also an expensive school to go to....so, needless to say, if you go there, you can probably afford a MacBook Pro.
  • spamzor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'm waiting for a video on youtube now: "$1 million dollars worth of Apple Laptops stolen from local school"
  • DeejayKnight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I went there. I work there...

    Now if only I could afford one of those MacBook Pros :(. Crazy student loans!
  • loker269, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It is a seal.....basically they seal the truck at Apple and then if it arrives at the place of delivery and it looks like the seal has been tampered with or is actually just gone they are supposed to reject the order....
  • Auzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Except that its for the students, and they come pre-installed, so you have nothing to install probably..
  • flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3what the ***** school is this?! I wanna go there!
  • beatdown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I went to Fullsail 10 years ago (Oh man). It was fun and I learned a lot. I wish I got a laptop back then.
  • vemerge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Did all the students get together and order 500 MacBooks at once? Must have been a bitch to handle logistically. Imagine handing them out. What happens when they all have different specs? Eek.
  • zodieman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is something one most certainly has built a database with barcode scanning abilities to help inventory and store all the serial numbers for.
    If it was me I'd also have a pre-configured master disk image ready to go on an Xserve with Netbooting so I'd be able to image several dozen at a time in about 10-15 minutes. Makes setting up Macs a breeze
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I hope they managed to negotiate a bulk discount for that lot!

    ....And unwrapping them all won't be a trivial matter either.
  • mdimmett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Gotta love Full Sail! I wish when I went to school there we got this deal, now I work there and all I get a is Mac Pro Quad processor. ;)
  • vemerge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2501 chairs don't cost $1,000,000. And 501 chairs are routinely delivered. It's not every day you see 500 MacBooks being delivered. And Digg is full of Apple fanboys.
  • sirdaz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Not to burst the bubble of you apple fans, but.. so what?

    Ill go record my local school receive 501 chairs shall I?
  • HideoKojima, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Why ***** Macs? they should have bought some real computers.
  • angrej, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0this is only a test by angrej.
