Poor Steve just has to stand there listening to these Council people grovel, sleaze and weasel Free Wifi, Apple Stores and money out of him.

Gosh.

That looks like one hell of a campus.

I do hope it was in jest... but that woman seemed very much sincere.

Loved Steve's response though.

It was just rhetoric.

iCampus was "a research collaboration between Microsoft Research and MIT whose goal is to create and demonstrate technologies with the potential for revolutionary change throughout the university curriculum."

iDonut sounds less scholastic anyway; iHaemorrhoidCushion to the less kind.

lol that's what I thought. Hardly the most professional bench of councillors.

Building looks amazing though

"We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. And, we want to make the glass specifically for this building here. We can make it curve all the way around the building... It's pretty cool."

I hope they put a bumper/case on the building. And hold it right.

lol... apple has way too much money.... holy..

I live freaking right next to this T_T

That concept is amazing. Apple should design everything. Sadly Steve doesn't sound very well, you really have to wonder if he will be around when it is completed.

Not a glass problem, as you know.

Funkymonk · Jun 8, 2011, 01:24 AM

Amazing. Things like this make Apple magical.

280 will be a bigger parking lot than it is now !!
Hey Steve ask VTA to build a light rail connection from Wolfe Rd to Cal Train to ease the TRAFFIC !!!

Curved glass => iPhone 5 curved glass rumor

insignificantMB · Jun 8, 2011, 01:26 AM

Reminds me of the Umbrella Corporation.
Especially with the underground subway if it is built.

sparkie7 · Jun 8, 2011, 01:26 AM

Who needs the White House after this is built. Steve should be the US president. And I'm not kidding!

MrSmith · Jun 8, 2011, 01:27 AM

Nice building, but the meeting made me cringe.

BB1970 · Jun 8, 2011, 01:29 AM

It really is a walled garden !

IF you watched the video, he said it they would move in in 2015.

batchtaster · Jun 8, 2011, 01:30 AM

Wait. Why are they planting apricot orchards, rather than Apple orchards?

I felt the same way the whole way through the video, you can tell he just doesn't have a whole lot of energy.

Once again, the video has the answer. They're going to keep employees in both of them.

That was what was planted on that exact location before Hewlett-Packard built those buildings.

richard.mac · Jun 8, 2011, 01:32 AM
