Bet there is a huge park in the middle with tables and stuff for outdoor wireless work.

Bet the wireless is always available and fast too.

Sprint Center is also elite.

Just splitting hairs.

be honest now: if this was Microsoft's plan, would you think it elite or a bland donut?

Elite. From a construction/design perspective.

Neutral on the Apple/Microsoft thing except for hating my Windows phone.

As said above, would love to build that.

So typical of apple, how many trees have to die for this project to work?

Unfortunately, working for Apple still sucks nuts. Unless of course you don't mind getting paid significantly less than what every competitor offers.

Good luck gettin' your trucks and equipment in there, no roads, seaports, landing strips, etc. Also no power lines, so probably pretty dim when its not the glorious break of dawn on Easter Sunday in Apple land.

IMO, looks like a giant condom, would love to see if I could break it.

So typical of apple trying to look aesthetically appealing rather than performing at a top notch level.

Good design, not awesome or super interesting or anything.

I_have_purplewood · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:41:33 AM »

Very meh if you ask me. Why not in the shape of an apple?

The stem could have been Steve's office or something.

Actually any kind of fruit shape would have been better than this..

felix rex · « **Reply #23 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:05:20 AM »

Is it gonna have cabbies driving around in golf carts or moving sidewalks or light rails or something? Looks like a pain in the ass to get anywhere.

Since the building will generate it's own natural gas through bio-mass generation, it will not require utility power except for backup. And it's not like Apple employees will ever leave the mothership.
