Here’s a Genius Bar horror story for you: Justin Barry, an apparently disgruntled seventeen year old, walked into a Staten Island Apple Store and typed this message on one of the display machines. He’s now facing seven years in prison.
I have threatened your store and all its employees with a bloody death … whoever the crew maybe working, or the innocent citizens that walk in … will be eliminated with the force of a… bomb loaded with C4, strapped to my chest.
Barry claims he was joking—he signed the threat with the name of a friend’s father—but he’s facing terror charges that could leave him locked up until his mid-twenties. With any luck he’ll be out just in time to get in line for the iSlate Nano. [MacWorld]
