Did you read the article at all? It's one of a kind and the money was donated to charity.
This is an generous contribution by Apple, regardless of who you are.

Read the article before you criticize. Who ever bought this item just donated a ton of loot to charity. Likely more so for the write off but who cares.
To both of you:
Of course I read the article. And ofcourse the money will go for charity. And Apple did this because they are humanitarians. hmmmm.... Fishy, isnt it?
But people should learn not only to read an article, but also understand the facts and be able to criticize. Well everyone has the right not to criticize and just read the article like a scanner machine ofc...
From my perspective, Apple did a clever move to advertise their company again (you can find it in other sites of the web also). The guy that bought it, just wanted to have a unique mac pro for showing off.
For other people, they are humanitarians/philanthropists that don't care about their wallet. They only care about world peace and happiness all over the world.
Everyone is free to have his opinion...
I chose mine...
