Haha I hope so.If it's anything like SG-1, we'll endure 10 years just to get a crappy ending. Let's hope Apple's story is a little better.

Probably discussing back and forth what shade of space gray they will use for the next iPhone.
I really wonder what Apple employees are doing all day. 80% of their income comes from the iPhone,
still in one year they basically didn't touch it, sorry, they removed one plug - how much resources
did this "improvement" need? 10000 people working 8 hours/day for 360 days?
They didn't do anything else as we all know - no new Macs, no Apple TV, no improvements in their software.
Really strange.
They won't let a lot of people inside. They're setting up a Disneyland-style monorail around the outside to address the desire for a closer look.Can't wait to see tours when everything is completely finished.
I'm serious, the original iPhone, the greatest engineering achievement of our times, was built by
"few hundred engineers and designers"

Now, they have buildings for thousands of people and there is no results to be seen...
I think they simply became too big.
Funny comment on an article about the spaceship campus, a building where no one works yet. And of course there are no results to be seen - they never show their hand for products in existing categories - until they finally unveil them on stage. (They occasionally show off unreleased products in new categories, like the Apple Watch and the original iPhone; one could argue the cylindrical Mac Pro was nearly a new category as well.)Now, they have buildings for thousands of people and there is no results to be seen...

As opposed to non-traversable trails?? Next you're going to tell me that they're putting in drivable parking lots! Seriously, do you guys read what you write?Along with 80 percent green space, the campus will feature employee amenities like easily traversable jogging and cycling trails and basketball and tennis courts.
They'll usher in the crowd around the construction mess, and conduct part of the presentation, before Tim Cook dramatically says something about this "FULLY OPERATIONAL DEATH STAR", and the "campus" lifts off into orbit.I'm curious if the new Theater will be ready for the fall iPhone presentation.

Because construction worker and chip fabrication engineer are easily interchangeable jobs?Imagine just spending a fraction of this Apple and giving us updated rMBPs/MacPros/Mac Minis.
Mute the music if you're watching the video.![]()
How original of a thought.At this rate, Apple Campus 2 will be complete before Apple updates its Mac lineups.

You know what they say, more cooks (no pun intended) in the kitchen doesn't necessarily result in better/faster food. Not to mention the cooks aren't always really the ones that decide what goes on the menu, what ingredients they have to work with, what the recipes are, etc.Definitely too big lineups and lacking of visionary leadership. Tim has been great in many regards, but the product lines are now much more complex and generations too similar that the company's approach now to its products is concerning. You would think with all of those engineers that software updates would be more feature rich and less bug prone.

This is exactly what almost killed Apple in the 90s. When Jobs came back he talked about that. he cut the computer line to 4 products: consumer desktop(iMac), consumer laptop(ibook), pro desktop(g3 tower), pro laptop (powerbook)
Apple seems to be doing exactly what Jobs didn't want, they are complicating all of their product lines trying to please everyone.
