5 shuttle buses chartered by Google, Apple apparently vandalized on I-280, possibly with pellet gun

Shuttle buses carrying Apple and Google employees were apparently vandalized Tuesday while traveling to and from the South Bay, officials said. No injuries were reported.

Five buses driving in the northbound and southbound directions of Interstate 280 between Highway 84 and Highway 85 were damaged during the Tuesday morning and evening commute, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Four buses were chartered by Apple and one by Google, the officer said. The Apple campus is located off I-280 in Cupertino. Google headquarters is in Mountain View off Highway 101.

According to Montiel, several bus windows were damaged and cracked, possibly by pellet guns, BB guns or rocks.

According to an article on TechCrunch

In response, we've learned that Apple has rerouted the bus routes for employees living in San Francisco, adding 30-45 minutes of commute time each way, as the company works with authorities to see what exactly is going on.

    Too many people out there think "remember that one year with Haight-Ashbury? That was SO cool. I'm angry that it can't stay like that forever." Populations ebb and flow with the time and economy.

    I agree that companies, and governments, could and should do more to get people to move (tax write offs for selling your house at a loss, etc.), but it is quite arrogant to not only expect, but demand, that the rest of society bends to your will and wishes.

    After I submitted the above post, I saw this one [soylentnews.org] which essentially sums up that attitude better than I could explain it.
