Several people on the Twitter reported late last night that a fire hit Apple's Valley Green 6 building (Tom Krazit has more in it here). No one was hurt and the major concern is smoke damage. One humorous Twit even offered their tongue-in-cheek lament that it wasn't their building.

The horny one knows it was just a joke, but what with recent charges that Apple's a sweatshop for programmers...

Well, has anyone seen Milton?

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
