I love how Apple's HQ is literally a walled garden

You cannot claim they aren't committed lol

Timeless architecture that's it.

It looks like it is the first phase a dome structure. Will the final phase be some sort of glass, or a force field? 🤔

@LilahTovMoon Collider!

@LilahTovMoon @uliwitness Not only the ring itself: the entire property has a fence around it so you can’t see in from ground level. The only way to do so is from the top of Visitor Center.

This reminds me of Devs.

@LilahTovMoon its also built over the buildings that were HP's workstation and Home PC businesses

@LilahTovMoon gotta admit they really know their brand and are committed to the bit, you don’t get that kinda follow-through from companies anymore.

Big tech is supplanting democratic government the way government supplanted the church.

We are living history.

Political and ecological.

@jeroen @LilahTovMoon @bitsavers I wonder if it’s also as useless as an iPad Pro.

@LilahTovMoon Nice visual. Whenever these things come up I always wonder which corporation hasn’t dreamt of or isn’t dreaming of occupying a similar position. Isn’t this even one of the first lesson they teach at business schools, create a moat and defend it?

@LilahTovMoon and a bunch of parking lots

@LilahTovMoon
I had a look at that in Google Maps. It seems that they've added an item or two in their garden in the middle, a rainbow-like object can be seen.

@LilahTovMoon the irony leaves a pleasant flavor on my palette. 🌟

@LilahTovMoon A lost opportunity. With a bit of careful flower planting it could look like the spinning wheel of death from space.

@LilahTovMoon same with the GCHQ (UK tech spies) office that has aimed to collect all telephone and web data in the country since 2011 by tapping fibre-optic cables and share it with the USA (Tempora). hate it here
