Looking good, funny thing it is that they will need to start on the next campus as soon as this one is up just to keep up with their growing workforce.

Apple Campus 2 Taking Shape Rapidly as Completion Date Approaches

Major HQ construction projects such as this one often confirm the beginning of the downturn for big companies.
I'll watch with anticipation to see if this comes about. But Siri continues to get worse and worse with each new version of iOS. And Apple STILL hasn't come out with an MBP that would excite me.
Just sayin'.

Even if often (which I'm not quite sure is the case), that's still some way off from always.
What would be an exciting MBP to you? I'm asking because I kind of agree with you, but I don't really know what I'd want. Just...something more than the same-old same-old we've had for the past several years.
If it makes you feel any better, they were a full year behind schedule on the facilities and utilities work along a 1/2 km stretch of road that leads to the Apple 2 campus.
I drive by the construction almost every day, and there's just no way in hell that they are going to finish by the end of this year unless they have a unique, Apple-only definition of the word "finish".
looking forward to them giving keynotes from there. I would imagine their auditorium will be a state of the art facility for keynotes and concerts as they like to incorporate musicians with their announcements. and honestly, why wouldn't they have incredible video capacities as well being that they'll move into the TV market soon enough.
The plants are already growing somewhere else. They would just replant the trees and bushes when the heavy construction works end. With the current technology, they can replant 16 foot trees or more from one location to another. Landscaping in general shouldn't take more than 6 months to look like the renderings (high trees, grass and bushes all over it).
How so? The size and scale?
The video does look cool, we have a number of building initiatives here in Boston so its really cool to see the high rises climb up to the sky. This of course surpasses those, given the large size of the building.
I agree - it looks to me like a Pentagon for the New Age - a Circle representing globalism. I think Apple has been hijacked and they are trying to set it up as a sort of technological godfount: a monopoly encompassing all the most popular of consumer products for social control and data mining - Apple World!
I look forward to his videos every month.
If Tim wants to do something right for a change, he'll invite him up on stage during the Apple Event
debuting the new HQ, and there will be, along with a blockbuster product announcement, such an event,
to do a final flyby of the completed Apple Campus 2.0. "AppleVR" or "iBand", anyone?

Yes. Someone has a bad case of ADD. Thankfully is settled down a little after that.
So is it new people moving into this building or people that aren't currently residing in IL? Will Campus 2 be considered Apple's HQ now or is that still IL?
I continue to be concerned about drones buzzing Campus 2 while it's an active worksite with construction workers walking along narrow beams in high places, etc., not to mention flying over roads. I wish MacRumors would stop encouraging this sort of behavior. If the guy really wants to fly his drones over the site, he should do it when nobody's doing dangerous work and won't get distracted.
Hah! If Steve Jobs was alive, he'd make them finish on time.
He'd make them work in three shifts, visit the site daily and have everybody who didn't sweat blood or had at least severe blisters fired right on-the-spot.
And people would probably still line-up around the block to work there.
Just listen to the stories of people working on the death march that was the presentation of the original iPhone....
;-)
LOL. Yet it continues, and continues, and continues.......... Please, "He who has the Gold makes the rules."
Unless Apple actually says otherwise, Infinte Loop will always be the official HQ for Apple.
Apple Campus 2 (I guess) will just be a flagship of their designs (again, just guessing).
However, I can definitely see them talking up a storm about this building in their Earth Day videos for the next several years.
