Drone footage of Apple's new campus under development
Video below shot by a quad-rotor drone with on-board gimbal mounted GoPro camera of Apple Computer's new corporate property development in Cupertino, CA.
Pretty impressive development in creativity and scale.
It must be nice to work with an institution whose leadership doesn't think its "out of money!".

Looks like the Death Star.
Ha Dan... they describe it as "the most environmentally friendly development ever" or something .... looks to me like they have torn up the landscape pretty well (at this point), I guess they are going to eventually put it all back together...
they have brought in Obama's former EPA person as a VP in charge of environment so they should be aok...
Looks like a pretty deep foundation I'd assume a lot of underground space... I'd hate to have to work in a basement all day... maybe it will be parking...
In any case its always nice to have plenty of "money"...
rsp,
Apple is flush with around 150 billion in cash.
they have always been a more expensive alternative Bob... their customers seem to not mind paying significantly higher prices (there goes the REH into the toilet...) and waiting in line for product... almost cult-like...
Sweeeeeeet for them!
Maybe this is the future... Maybe in the future we use 'Apple bucks', they print them, we spend them in their products, they never run out of 'Apple bucks', they always have surplus which they invest in whatever they want and keep recycling their 'credits'.
Governments... who needs that? You can have some "nice" (PR) huge corporations creating money and recycling it while employing. They already are more trusted than most governments, maybe they would care more about their consumers/employees. Who cares about anything else.
Nothing could go wrong, could it? I don't think the trajectory would be much more different than the one we already have regarding social justice and the shape of the economy, is obvious politicians don't care about citizens.
/sarc or not
Ignacio get your irony... but here is the other extreme:

this is outright human trafficking imo..
so you will always need authority to come down hard and heavy on people like this... crack skulls (as a metaphor mind you... ;)
