Looks like there will be a new big apple!!

What kind of solution is that?

1] Apple was founded in that area of California, and has it's global headquarters in Cupertino already.
2] The cost of office space in New York City is insanely high.
3] Can you find 50 acres of land in NYC?

How many glass cubes do you think it will have?

Do they build apple trees around their campuses?
As part of the landscape i mean..

I wonder if they are going to somehow connect it to "Infinite Loop" (the street they are on now in Cupertino)... or maybe they will just have a corporate culture of multiple infinities...

Oh great. I work near the current campus, and the Apple employees are the worst f'ing drivers ever. They clog the De Anza exit all morning long already, because they fail to grasp they've got a right turn lane all for them, and they clog the onramp in the afternoon by flocking like lemmings to BJ's for a post-work beer. This'll just add more of 'em. Boo.

this is awesome 3000 to 3500 employee, i hope that means they will be hiring

i wonder if they will seperate their iPod and iTunes division into the new campus

My school's in Cupertino.

california. the coolest place on earth

Well, they shouldn't have a problem paying for it as long as they keep beating Wall Street estimates.

Go AAPL, go!

I live down the street from Apple's HQ, and its true, their buildings are all over cupertino renting out every knook and cranny. I dont have any idea of where they'd find 50 acres here though... especially not 1-mile from the HQ... must be several places I think are all doing well that are about to go under. lol

Hmm, for the life of me I can't think of a single place near Cupertino that has 50 acres... Unless they bought Vallco Fashion Park and that whole dead space near and around it. That's about 1 mile from the headquarters. Vallco has been dead for at least 10 years now, so its possible the owners sold it to Apple

Here's a link to the Cupertino City Council April 18th webcast (Real Media format):

Steve's speech is roughly 13 minutes into the video.

Is Steve Jobs a reliable source?

Good news for Apple. What are they going to have inside the new 50 acre campus?

If you are in the area, Apple is a pretty decent place to work for, imo

I like how they call it a "campus". That's cute. I'm thinking of building a campus for my wife and I in the woods. Perhaps a tree-campus, no?

Watching steve jobbs talk in the meeting and even though it is just a council meeting i still expected cheering when he came up to speak ;), felt just like a apple keynote.

I say they build their new campus in the socal deserts where the land is cheap. All you have to worry about is the hidden meth labs all around.

Sony was 'the company' in the 20th century!
Apple is 'the company' for the 21st Century!!

Keepin' it in America. Way to go, Apple!

I don't get it. Don't they realize that other areas of the U.S. has employable smart people that may not want to move because of ties to family and friends? And from what I understand that area of the world is quite ***** to commute in.

Well first off, as a person who lives by cupertino, trust me its a lot better than any back water town anywhere in any state. In fact, Cupertino schools are some of the best in the nation, their population is diverse and strong. There is great employment due to Apple and the other great companies that call the valley home. Understand that the valley is the PLACE TO CREATE ANYTHING. You have credibility in the valley, tech is in the valley, you can't challenge that. So how do you expect that any tech company could imagine themselves in any other place than the middle of silicon valley?

Apple is bulding a new cafeteria! Weeeeeeeeee! Apple has a new letterhead! Weeeeeeeeeee! Apple changed the T.P. in there restroom! Weeeeeeeeeee! Someone at Apple farted today! Weeeeeeee! Apple now supports My Little Pony 3.4!!!!!!!!!!!! Mega Weeeeeeeeeee! And it starts in one bounce on a my new gazillion dollar laptop running moutain lion!!!! Super Mega Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Somebody shoot me I just can't stop talking about Apple!!!! OMG!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yay! I hope that I can pull of a job there!

Funny cause it isnt going to happen, get a grip on the reality of now and deal with it. Im sick of people who complain about apple stories making it to the front page. SO ***** what? move on to the next story noone is holding a gun to your head trying to make you read it, and to make it worse they have to comment on how much they hate it. do you have that much hatred for apple that you would be one of these people or do you just like to see your own opinion splattered across the screen?
