University insurer sues Apple

DailyPrincetonian.com: "When Princeton firefighters determined that an Apple computer was the cause of a fire in Moffit Hall over two years ago, the University's insurance reimbursed the school for over $2 million. The insurance company filed suit in October against Apple Computers in the name of Princeton's trustees, hoping to regain some of what they paid out. Lawyers employed by Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance Company took advantage of a clause in their policy to file suit under the University's name after they were unable to resolve the case with Apple ... The fire department determined that an Apple PowerMac G4 plugged into an electrical receptacle box caused the fire in a Moffit Hall lab on Dec. 11, 2001. Faulty wiring ignited the wood supporting a nearby cable tray, Lisa Zimmaro, a manager in the University's risk management office, said."
