A few weeks ago we talked about the prototype of Apple MacBook model 2007, equipped with a built-in 3G-module . On internet auction site eBay the potential buyers were willing to pay more than $ 70 000 for the device, but the site at the request of Apple was forced to cease trading.
Carl Frega purchased the device through the trading floor at Craiglist former employee of Apple for parts. Frege attempts to draw attention to the computer after replacing the hard drive and restore functionality, MacBook has been sold. The new owner has demonstrated its acquisition to Genius specialists (Apple technical support ), which resulted in a small scandal - the serial number of the prototype was absent from the company database. Frege on the court had to return to the buyer its $ 740 and pick up the counterfeit back. After the MacBook was put up for electronic trading that could bring much greater benefit Frege: the cost of prototype quickly rised to $ 70 thousand, but the hype around the lot attracted Apple attention . Accusing the dealer of copyright and intellectual property violation, apple company demanded back the laptop.
It should be noted that Apple aggressively applies to owners of prototype, which has attracted worldwide attention. Last year, Brian Hogan and Sage Volover found a prototype of iPhone 4, which was subsequently sold to the owner of blog Gizmodo Jason Chen. Soon, Hogan and Volover were forced to appear behind the court. Related Products :
