Apple Campus 2 'Spaceship' Taking Shape as Construction Continues

If they have a £30,000 board table with no legs, suspended by wires from the ceiling then they're definitely going the way of Factory Records and the whole thing will end up as a nightclub. I've always felt there were parallels between Steve Jobs and Tony Wilson - both cut from the same cloth. Nobody will get this reference apart from a handful of Brits...
To be fair a number of them produced things that were seen as quite important and useful and were seen as something that would only get better at the time when those companies were at their heights of popularity.
I know you despise the Apple Watch, but this a stretch. Someone else was even clever enough to bring the 5400rpm issue into this thread.
It's clearly a spaceship... or maybe a really big iSight camera...
The current law is if you shoot down a drone over your property, that is a crime of vandalism. This is very similar to early barn storming where airplanes flying over farms were also shot at with the land owner claiming trespassing. However, the legal definition of trespassing is your have to be in physical contact with the surface.
Sometimes technology evolves faster than laws do.
Unreal.
Do you have any data whatsoever to back this up? Of course not. It's just a *** blurb. Many excellent companies have very nice headquarters. If you think apple is spending too much money on this, then make a stand and stop buying apple products.
I think it's even worse than that. One guy here is going to be bashing the apple watch on his death bed. Another will be talking about the 5400 rpm disk issue at his high school graduation, and he doesn't even care about the iMac.
Trying to get useful information from any thread here is becoming harder and harder to do. If this isn't stopped, fairly soon this forum is simply going to become a forum for joke (and bad ones at that) and a place for people with nothing better to do with their lives than to complain about anything and everything to gather. Those who actually have something useful to say will be long gone. I hope the owners understand this and realize what is happening to the forum.
what a sad comment. Apple is not a charity, and nobody is forced to buy anything Apple.
Actually that was mostly sarcasm, Apple is a business and a very successful one however I've been (as many users), surprised by the decision to keep low-end 5400rpm drives as a bottleneck to the well-built system, that is all
.Actually that was mostly sarcasm, I do understand why Apple still produces 16GB iPhones or keeps 5400rpm drives. It does make a lot of profit and makes the company very profitable in a long term, also keeping the shareholders happy. It was just a cheeky comment following recent news as I've been quite disappointed with Apple's decision to keep these (although using purely SSD drives).
Agree on your comment about the forum in general, not just news but also forum sections themselves, it's becoming more difficult to get more in-depth information.[/QUOTE]

Ah, wrong story. This is the one I wanted: http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/28/9625468/drone-slayer-kentucky-cleared-charges
Seems there are rather a lot of people shooting drones, with enough mixed judicial outcomes that higher courts will have to weigh in.
Funny how some people keep insisting on this, while Apple's current product line is the strongest ever. But oh well.
I'm pretty sure it will be appealed and overturned in the near future, it was absolutely clear that he did not consider all of the evidence. If the video shows the drone was above the airspace limit and the judge choses to ignore it, then he is in the wrong.
Even the law enforcement was shocked at the judge's ruling.
In addition, no good will come from people shooting in the air at no threats. Even if drones are banned to fly over someone's building, there is no justification to shoot it down.
If you shot and miss, if that bullet hits and kill someone in the next building or wherever, you are absolutely responsible for the assault/murder of that person.

I don't know why everyone is being so negative to you.... I fully agree that if you are the top company on the planet & want to hire & keep the very best and brightest, you should have them all work in a noisy windowless dingy warehouse... am I right???!
I don't know if this is still a proposal, but I think the operator has to maintain a line of sight.
They definitely are (but they won't be trucked away, if they would be trucked away what would be the point of waiting, though they could end up with a surplus at the end, I don't think their needs for soil can be calculated down to the cubic metre).
