You don't like other people, do you?
Have you seen Office 2013 with any version of Windows?
What stops you from doing so?

i'm not a trust fund baby looking for something to do. I also have bills to be paid
San Francisco is the most over-rated city in the US. If there is an inch of public space not bathed in urine and vomit I didn't see it. Retard leftest zeigeist is now normative throughout the US. Its a pity to see the US in general, and California in particular, in free fall decline.
Stupid me, I thought San Francisco was all about big tech companies and small startups.
Now I see, its really all about ugly fountains.![]()
such an ugly fountain get rid of it
its not modern btw its hideous postmodernism
let the homeless find a different place to bathe
San Francisco is about 2 things:
Going green.
Modern Art.
Apple will make a lot of people in San Fran happy by keeping that junk/modern-art/water-fountain where it is.
I wasn't aware that it's only left oriented people that piss and vomit...
I have been all over SF and I found it a very clean and fun city. But I'm from Amsterdam, so I guess I'm used to some dirt...
Apple caved... unusual
Apparently you didn't click on my handle..
Companies are quite replaceable and are replaced quite frequently. Companies and commerce are simply a tool of society. Government is serving the people of the city of SF they're not serving Apple Inc.

The fountain should remain, let Apple build around it. Ruth Asawa, who was a world renowned San Francisco artist, invited the children of San Francisco to make dough sculptures of their neighborhoods then cast these in bronze to create the fountain. Her life was was dedicated to teaching art to children.
That stops you from not doing art?![]()

You are right, it's a great city. You were responding to an ideological rant, not a reality-based observation. To a person from outside of the US it may be difficult to understand that many Americans view San Francisco as the center of all things left and liberal, and therefore it must be a very bad place altogether.
For Apple to even suggest to remove it from its site only showed their ignorance about San Francisco history and heritage. And for the SF Planning Commission, which statutes clearly states that the area is a historic conservation district.

art is the biggest pile of crap of all time. i wish i could get through life by spending my time doing arts and crafts.
It interesting how you can be unemployed, broke and people will snub their nose at you. But if that same person goes around and says theyre an "artist" people will actually give them respect. they may even be given money and a studio to work in.
I got people handing over money right and left for me to make em art. Shoot, after making art at work all day, I can go home and make more art if I want to! Dang, sometimes I feel like I'm robbing people with the rates I charge.
Unfortunately I'm all too familiar with these kinds of views. Amsterdam is often seen in the same light as San Francisco.
Did Apple say they want to destroy it or do they propose to the city to relocate it?
This just in:
That fountain is still the same amount of ugly.
Why anyone would want to save that eyesore with no real significance is beyond me.
A peeing cherub fountain would be more comely.
