Apple Planning To Build Private Restaurant

First time accepted submitter a90Tj2P7 writes "Apple is building a 21,468 square foot private restaurant in Cupertino so employees can talk shop over lunch without being overheard. Apple's director of real estate facilities, Dan Wisenhunt, stated that: 'We like to provide a level of security so that people and employees can feel comfortable talking about their business, their research and whatever project they're engineering without fear of competition sort of overhearing their conversations.'"

Sounds like self-aggrandization

I doubt that "so our employees can talk shop without the competition overhearing us" is their #1 reason. If it is, that's pretty arrogant.

I don't care if Apple makes all the "new hot things" that consumers are flocking to get, there's really not that much secret in what they do, and there's nothing that indicates that they have any sort of precious upper hand when it comes to designing products. Any other company could do what they do. Most of their magic is simply marketing and/or blind loyalty.

Like organized religion or politics.

How do you tell them apart from the crowd, do they have a yellow apple stitched to their overcoats or something?
