Talk about being the Bomb in technology they are so HOT right about now they're BLOWIN' UP THE SPOT LOL,,,,
Some competitors will do anything to stop the flow of Apple products.
Maybe an employee was late for a deadline and needed more time to get finished.

The bomb threat call was traced from an ANDROID phone that originated from Mountain View, CA.
This is sad. Someone couldn't handle Apples' success?
