Apple's in the eye of flaw finders

I would focus on the ball pitched. The x86 PowerBook does not exist. So if this happened it happened on a G4 or G3 running OSX if this PowerBook had OSX installed.

The story is vague enough that we could assume lots of facts not yet in evidence. So far we have a story about an unattended PowerBook at a conference. Is any of that part true?
