Perfectly designed so the drones of the Appleverse can trudge round and round, heads up the rear end of the drone in front, prefering to avoid eye contact with Cook, and only daring occasionally to reimagine a time when Apple was synonymous with top quality professional computers. The while loony pronouncements drift across the space inside wafted on the scent of usury and graft threatening instant "reassignment" to any who challenge Cook, She Who Must Always Prevail.

Power adapter / charger 79 USD, it's built so badly that cables break easily and you need a new one every year. A**holes.
Thank you.
People seem to forget that Apple is currently leasing space all over the valley... Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, etc. They outgrew One Infinite Loop years ago.
And Infinite Loop was also separate buildings that were kinda inefficient if you had to travel between buildings regularly.
Exactly.
Each floor of the Spaceship Campus can hold 3,250 employees. Half the circle: 1,625... one quarter: 813.
And surely they are planning to put collaborative teams in close proximity to each other.
For comparison... Microsoft's main campus houses 40,000 employees spread out over 80 buildings.
That's an average of only 500 people per building. While I'm sure their big collaborative teams are together... it's still VERY spread out overall.

I am not a religious man, but I'm pretty certain that they are building a gateway to hell.
I'm sure once it's all done and the middle is filled with park-lands and whatever it'll be beautiful but right now, it just looks like a dumb, uninspired idea really.
This place is going to be so hard to secure when the zombie apocalypse kicks off. Just Saying.

Why? Because of all the glass?
I'm guessing it's thicker and stronger than normal home glass. Might not be able to punch through it. Maybe with tools though. Can zombies use tools?
Would kinda suck for a lawnmower to kick up a rock and shatter a 45ft x 9ft piece of glass.
I was unaware that asking if they filed taxes in Ireland was whining. And what exactly is whining easier than and why?
You have.
The pre-emptive "first" strike MR fanboy snark routine was "ok ha ha" the first hundred tries.
Now its just getting to be a troll of its own.
Eh, it's ok. I think this one is better
Have you seen this recently? Longaberger apparently defaulted on a boatload of property taxes and had to give up the building. It's a travesty now.
Sure, and then lose touch with the rest of the world, when they build it among tractors and cattle.
Grossly inefficient, maybe deliberately, I really don't know. In fact it would be difficult to imagine a plan less efficient for moving people around than a ring. A very long, narrow rectangle I guess would be even worse.
Comparing this building to an ad hoc campus makes no sense. They started with a clean sheet of paper for this one. Any problems this building has were designed into it.
Like any profit driven company would, they file where it is cheapest. They should be putting up ads highlighting how broken the us tax law is but instead they just capitalize by filing and keeping money overseas.
Not rocket science
Would you rather Apple not have a presence in the us? Do they not pay property tax on every piece of property they own?
Have the people complaining about the shape ever even worked in an office? People sit in teams within groups within departments. You sit with the people you work with. Very few people will have a need to go to another floor, let alone the other side of the building.
It'll be finished just in time for Apple to be irrelevant. Then they can sell it to someone else, maybe Microsoft who oddly seems to have a better idea where computers should go than Apple these days.
