Apple campus floods; Steve Jobs orders construction of iArk

It appears as though some of the folks in Cupertino may be in need of SCUBA gear this afternoon after a major leak sprung in a building on the Apple Campus:

California Water Service Co. crews are cleaning up what’s left of a major water leak that left more than a foot of water lining the floor of an Apple Computer Inc. building in Cupertino early this morning.

At one point more than 100 gallons of water per minute were flooding into the building from a leak under the first floor, a Santa Clara County Fire Department dispatcher said.

Unfortunately, the room in which the leak occurred contained the only known copies of all iPhone prototypes, design documents, advertising material, packaging, schematics, and the relevant portions of Steve Jobs’s and Jonathan Ive’s brains. Or such will be the official story at Macworld.
