The title seemed so strange until I read some of the article. I was thinking... 'Apple's building a Cafeteria to Enhance Security'? What...on...earth? lol 
Like that, but in style...

Well, the idea is for their employees to have their lunch or any other breaks in campus, so they can continue using their assigned prototypes without the risk of forgetting these at some other bar or restaurant.
It saves the time used to drive to and from a restaurant too.

What did you say, chief?
Haha yeah, I know. I realised that after a read some of the article, but prior that I was slightly concerned about Apple's idea of security lol

Sounds like apple will emulate "Foxconn" on this and maybe they will have to add mesh netting around this new "Satellite Cafeteria" also?

Rest assured they have ego trip, after ego trip. It's the Apple culture. The way they conduct themselves in public is rather nauseating. Even more amazing is how they never tire of celebrating themselves.
I can only imagine how fast it will escalate to all time highs once the "Space Ship" is completed.
Apple Inc. is quite an amusing company.

I don't think it will be that extreme. It is more for convenience and to avoid 'accidental losses' of prototypes.
More like Apple is worried about losing more phones in bars.
It's too bad, really, I liked those stories
Lost ,more like left, we are ready for a "left at a Bar" story soon the iPhone 5 must itching for a drink
Last time I checked, corporate cafeterias don't sell beer and let men hit on women, so there's every reason to believe employees will still go to regular bars/hangouts and lose prototypes
The primary reason companies have cafeterias is to keep people from spending unnecessary time away from work.

People are not supposed to drink alcohol within work hours.
And if people are required to lock in/out, who cares what they do at lunch?
Let's wait and see how Apple implements this plan.
Exactly. They go somewhere after hours. That's why a cafeteria does not prevent lost prototypes.
White collar workers like these don't clock in/out for lunch. They go and come back when they feel like it. Eating out takes extra time because of travel, parking, traffic, and restaurant delays.
Again, that's why major companies have cafeterias, often with subsidized food at attractive prices. Eating there takes a fraction of the time it would by going out, and thus the company benefits from employees spending more time spent in the office... plus possibly more interaction with other employees.
That's not a capital "lol". But you did manage to type some colons, which require the shift key.
