Wow- 14,000 people/ 7,400 parking spaces. Even if everyone arrives in the morning over two or so hours that would need almost a dedicated highway to serve all of that traffic.
 
I can't wait to see the final building completed. Anybody know if the grounds are for employees only or will citizens be allowed on part of the campus such as a public park?

That number impresses you?

Foxconn has over one MILLION employees. I think that company faces a slightly differenct logistical challenge...

There are even more people working on the Microsoft campus in Redmond or on the Bayer campus in Leverkusen, Germany. But yes, Bayer Leverkusen HAS an own highway exit. Hmm.
 
according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it'll be a giant Mac Pro.

This is only part of the ship, the part that has the crew accommodation. The Mac Pro makes up the rocket part which they will use to leave Earth and set up on the moon where there is no corporation tax, and all this because Ireland couldnt play the game.

Microsoft though really is quantity over quality.

1 : the area and buildings around a university, college, school, etc.
2 : a university, college, or school viewed as an academic, social, or spiritual entity
3 : grounds that resemble a campus <a hospital campus> <a landscaped corporate campus>

I look forward to your next incorrect correction

Lol your 'correction' proves my point...

Foxconn employees aren't driving to work. Saying they face a slightly different logistical challenge is completely irrelevant to the conversation about parking lot space.
 
It would have taken a real clown to vote no.

Just some Samsung employees.

Apple should hire me to work at their new campus. I have the skill set and qualifications to be an asset to their company. I will create more than enough value to justify my compensation. My first suggestion would be for their marketing team to get Jonathan Ive a proper wardrobe so he can stop embarrassing himself with V-necks and chest hair in all of his new product promotional videos.

Bloody stupid comment.

Let me just say that if you show photos of your idol Scott Forstall and of Jony Ive to any women, they will go for Ive.
 
It does actually...

Microsoft, Google and Apple use it for office buildings the make themselves sound less corporate, my comment is specifically about how it's really weird that they do this given a campus = the grounds for a university.

I look forward to your wannabe tech boy 'nah man you're wrong!!!' comments.

Umm, Look at number 3...

Confirmation Cook lurks these forums. Guys, say stuff and they might happen.

Not sure if joking or serious. . .

Steve I think wanted more money spent on this and some of it was scaled back.

Why even scale back? Apple have enough money to build 1000 of these on top of each other.
 
Update: Apple CEO Tim Cook has issued a Tweet about the approval, interestingly quoting the title of our own article on the topic.

Because there's no way that could have been a coincidence. [rolls eyes]

Give it up. You're wrong, as every literate person knows. Campus is not a word limited to universities, and Apple's campus isn't a "training facility."

As the other definition showed: "a large, usually suburban, landscaped business or industrial site."
