An 11-year-old boy has destroyed $36,000 worth of MacBook notebooks by urinating on them, according to PennLive.
The MacBooks were on a cart inside the Upper Allen Elementary School. Police charged the boy with institutional vandalism and criminal mischief and are turning him over to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.
CultofMac surmises that the notebooks were a complete loss because Apple wouldn't service the MacBooks. "Once urine is on a MacBook - whether animal or human - Apple considers it a biohazard."

He's just an 11-yo kid.
We didn't have this kind of police action when sewers growing up.
Jeez, what's the world coming to.

Unless the kid is sick (with a urinary tract infection), urine is sterile.
So while it's "nasty" or "yucky", it's not a biohazard.

I beg the difference. It could be the beginning of a much larger scheme, where the real perpetrators are the whole PC industry. They know the boy cannot be tried a s an adult.
