$400,000 to $450,000 to restore a balustrade seems a little excessive to me. If that's the amount it's really going to cost to restore it, a plan which didn't cause it to require restoring in the first place might have been a better way to go.
Sure Apple has the money to do this and then do it again and again a few more times over but 1/2 a million here, 1/2 a million there, eventually adds up to real money.

Insane demand on the servers caused the Chinese translation lady's audio track to overwhelm the English track?
Do they? Full combat defence mode over what?? Its got nothing to do with Apple - the guy just made an idiotically dumb post and was rightfully called out over it. Though I'm starting to think yours might be even worse.
I agree. But my post was specifically about their home security services - if you want to pay someone for that, there are others.
I personally find it a refreshing, "Apple-related" news story. Additionally, I'm tired of the incessantly regurgitated rumors on Apple products and rather like that MacRumors branches out into other relatable news stories.
However, there are so many dead horses around here that they beat to death, I'm surprised PETA isn't asking to have this site shut down.
I think the temp structure was for the demo area, yes. From the pictures even the inside looked gorgeous, like something from a spaceship or sci-fi show. I think given the status of the iPhone and the need for complete secrecy, the amount of money spent wasn't out of line. When you're making billions on the product, $1 million is pretty small for the introduction presentation.
A better gesture would be for Apple to start a scholarship fund for those college students. Like if they are honor students, then Apple could give out a dozen scholarships/grants for students in the computer/tech majors. Students would need to apply and meet qualifications, of course.
Even a scholarship of say $5000 each goes a long way . for a local community college in the USA. Local community colleges are way more affordable than major US universities (e.g. the University of California), so a grant/scholarship of $5000 will really help out those students tremendously.
