Apple To Build $1B Austin Campus, Add Thousands of Jobs in US Expansion (cnet.com)
Apple said Thursday it plans to invest $1 billion building a new corporate campus in Austin, Texas, that could eventually create 15,000 jobs. From a report: The iPhone maker will also set up new offices in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, Los Angeles County, as well as expanding operations in Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, Colorado, according to the press release.
The Austin campus will be located less than a mile away from Apple's existing facilities in the Texas city, which already employ 6,200 people (its largest group of employees outside Cupertino). The new area will initially hold 5,000 employees, with capacity to grow to 15,000 over time.

Not here. This isn't as bad as Amazon coming in, but please, not here. We don't want the capital of Texas to turn into the bay area. You can keep your leftist attitudes and taxes where they are.
Is Trump - GUILTY! Lock!Him!Up!

The rest will be imports from Cali and overseas. The 25% would be support and/or maintenance crews, and MAYBE a smattering of B- and C- level execs to keep the masses happy.
Apple's after the lower wage and tax brackets, so it makes sense they would make this kind of move.
First rule of holes; When in one, stop digging.
This is close to Dell's headquarters, so this is a great chance for Apple to poach Dell's best employees. As a Dell employee myself (not in Texas), this can be good, as Dell may be pushed to increase pay and benefits.

"We"? Speak for yourself and only for yourself. Your opinion is not widely shared in Austin. People have been moving to Austin in droves precisely because it is a good place to live, the city is (mostly) well run, and there are great jobs to be had there as a tech hub. If that's not your brand of vodka, fine but that's your problem.
You can keep your leftist attitudes and taxes where they are.
A) You being uncomfortable with someone who isn't a conservative is your problem, not anyone else's
B) Evidently you've never actually been to Austin if you think it's overrun by conservatives. Hell I consider it a bastion of sanity in Texas.
C) The notion that Texas is uniformly conservative is a ridiculous myth. At most it's around 58%/42% skewing conservative based on recent election results.
that's a lot of gender studies graduates.
IS Austn getting anything out of the deal, or have they sold the farm? Kind of funny Apple would set up shop with employees being so hard to attract right no
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.

#MAGA!
What an amazing future!! Fuck JOBS JOBS JOBS.. its tine for QUALITU OF LIFE and WORKING LESS.
40 years of productivity gains have only benefited the 1% in the west. Time to WORK LESS.
Does Austin still have an antiquated highway system or was it upgraded recently. Traffic was already bad.
I guess it's true what they say, you can take the nazi homosexuals out of Texas and move them to Colorado, but they'll still whine and parade their asses around like bitches in heat.
Texas is used to shit everywhere, it's Texas. "Texas road apples" "Texas yard find" "Texas education system" "Texas pride" = all shit references. Texas was and will be again covered ankle-deep in feces. They love it.
It's just Texas, that's what they do. (And if you catch them eating it, that's just good Republicanism)

Texas, land of shit-eating faggots in ridiculous cowboy outfits, lol, ayup. I reckon they fuck their sisters to maintain that dull family stare.
But if you're asking do we discriminate against Texans for eating shit, of course not. It's just Texas, it's what they do. They don't know any better, poor sons of bitches.
You can't even educate yourself, you have no training in law or policing, and you're an inbred hick of no value to America. Mexicans = the original Texans. They own your faggot ass, never forget that.
Some day, Texas will be part of Mexico again, and ironically Trump is making that happen faster than anyone ever thought. Good riddance, you deplorable faggots are just too stupid to exist anymore.
Now liberal companies like Apple have to bail you out? Sad. You're so helpless you think poor people are the threat, lol. What inbreds.
And plenty of cheap imported Texas meth for the homosexual ravers, you can't leave out the #1 attraction in Texas. There's no other reason to go there.
So what you're saying is California makes more money, is worth more money, more people want to live there, and you fuck cows and whine about California daily?
Lol jealous Texas faggot problems lol
So what you're saying is California makes more money, is worth more money, more people want to live there, and you fuck cows (best case) and whine about California daily? That's so SAD.
Lol jealous Texas faggot problems lol.

So you're saying the best things that come out of Texas get burned in California and emitted as exhaust, I agree. Texas is shit. Apple is only moving there because the slaves are cheaper than China.
You don't know they're from their? Wow. Texas inbreeding problems continue. No wonder you can't educate yourselves.
Apple sells designer hardware that's WAY over priced.
No, just generally built with better components and engineering.
Yes they sometimes charge more to upgrade some aspects like RAM, but for the hardware you are getting what you pay for.
Dell sells servers - Apple does not.
Apple sells the Mac mini, so you are wrong.
Dell sells Windows PCs - Apple does not.
Apple explicitly supports Windows on any Apple desktop hardware, so you are wrong.
Dell is diversified for the corporate enterprise market as an IT solution provider - Apple is not.
Well that was sure a load of bullshit, but in any case Apple does have enterprise support in multiple ways, including remote management, and internally facing applications - so you are wrong.
Dell sell cheaper hardware that's functional and modular - Apple does not
All Apple hardware is functional. Can you upgrade video cards in Dell laptops? No? HMM, guess they are not ALL modular as you claim then. And Apple will soon have a newer Mac Pro that is fully modular...
So you are basically on the edge of being wrong there, we'll just call it wrong because of your past errors.
It's like saying Harley Davidson will open up an office next to Toyota and poach the best employees.
I think you meant that to sound silly but what would be odd about a company working on very compact internal combustion engines wanting to hire someone who had worked on very compact internal combustion engines?
Here's my advice to you - if you don't understand computers OR car analogies well, you are better off not posting on Slashdot until you understand at least one well (probably best to start with car analogies, this being Slashdot and all).

The things that are attracting Apple to there - the low taxes and so forth - are due to the conservatism.
Umm, no. The reason Apple is interested is because there is a lot of tech talent already there and the city knows how to work with big tech companies productively. Furthermore Apple is ALREADY big in Austin with over 6000 employees currently. Any other reasons are minor in comparison. Taxes played at most a minor role in why tech talent is in Austin. Apple is interested in the area because a lot of other tech companies (Amazon, Dell, Intel, Oracle, IBM, Indeed, Electronic Arts, Facebook, National Instruments, etc) have already established there and they can get the talent they need. There also is a company that comparatively few have heard of called Trilogy that did a lot back around the dotcom boom to bring high level talent to the area.
I thought the jobs weren't coming back?
Who authorized this?
It doesn't fit into the media template and therefore is likely to run afoul of numerous sensitivity violations.
This will contribute to the further Californication of Texas.
Texas has been prosperous precisely because of fiscal conservatism.
Texas has been prosperous because it has a about 1/3 of US oil reserves and oil is doing well. 4 of the 5 largest companies based in Texas are oil and gas companies. That's how they can get away with the tax policies they do. Many other states don't have massive oil reserves to take up the slack. If conservatism were such a boon then how do you explain California which clearly is not conservative leaning having a far larger economy than Texas despite having higher tax burdens as a general proposition?
The Mac Pro will be modular, but if you want to replace a module yourself, you'll have to go to an Apple store and beg the "genii" to activate the stinking thing.
Just as you can use standard RAM in Apple hardware today that you can buy from any source, or attach any monitor you like to any Mac, you'll be able to use standard components in the new Mac Pro....
So you are wrong. Again.
Like I said, start with learning about cars.

...and I certainly would like all Blacks and Muslims stopped and deported from Texas. This is our land...get the fuck out if you don't like it.
This is rather close to where I live, so I expect to see my already rising property value shoot up, along with traffic levels. If we were looking to sell the house, it'd be one thing, but we aren't, so it's another.
Austin is just a hyperleftist echo chamber. It's perfect for them.
I'm sorry that your Apple stock took a major hit, but that's the risk.
Has it? I wouldn't know, I just buy it every so often and in 20-30 years I may sell some.
The dividends certainly have not taken any hits, they keep increasing...
Thanks for reminding me to buy some more with the dividends, if it's really down I am in luck!
Fact is, Apple hardware is based on the designer BYOD market. Everything Apple does is antithetical to Dell. Dell sells real PowerEdge servers, complete with fault tollerence PSUs, ECC RAM,
I thought you were going to say Dell was antithetical to Apple because it was mostly super cheap and crappy. Imagine my surprise when you went the other way arguing Dell has higher quality systems! Ok, you do you I guess!
By the way, Apple uses ECC RAM in a number of pro products... If you didn't even know that why on earth should I, or anyone, take anything you have to say seriously?
Even though I didn't read the rest of it, just what you wrote there sure seems to point to Apple being able to make great use of the people at Dell that do work on higher end systems.
Apple does also design their own chips as well you know, and I'm certain there are a lot of firmware developers at Dell that probably know what they are doing.

This is all due to President Trump's economic policies! Keep America Great! Support President Trump and conservative Republicans!
