Apple to Build Second Campus

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the iexpand dept.

Randy writes "Apple plans to expand dramatically in Cupertino by constructing a second major campus, one mile from Infinite Loop. Lamenting the fact that 'there aren't many apricot orchards left' upon which to build a new campus, Apple CEO Steve Jobs noted that Apple nevertheless managed to do the trick by purchasing several contiguous properties." From the article: "The maker of Macintosh computers and iPod digital music players will house 3,000 to 3,500 employees in the new campus, about 10 minutes away from its headquarters on Infinite Loop in Cupertino. Jobs estimated that it will take three to four years to design and build the new campus."

    An infinite loop would have plenty of room to grow.

    No mention of "one more thing" at the end of the presentation. The lighting was also all wrong and there wasn't a 50 foot high media screen behind him demonstrating the new land purchase. Plus he wasn't even on stage - what's up with THAT?

    Finally and the rumors from ThinkSecret.com on the construction of an in-orbit death-star battlestation were off by a large margin.
