Apple is once again making headlines, but not because of a new iPhone or computer.
The tech giant is inching closer to opening its new "spaceship" campus, which is actually known as Apple Campus 2.
Recent drone footage captured by Matthew Roberts shows off the massive work space, which covers 176 acres. For those in need of a comparison, that's the size of 133 football fields.
Roughly 12,000 employees are expected to fill the 2.8 million square feet of office space at some point within the next year.
The project may be viewed as extreme, but Roberts offers a different perspective.
"Some people would say it's overboard, but I think it's fitting for Apple to do something like this because they consider themselves trendsetters and innovators within the tech industry," he said.

Thanks for the pic.
Apple has a way to go. With 6 million square feet of floor space, the Pentagon is still amazing....

it’s a time machine. That’s how they keep their competitive edge. They travel to the future and then reverse engineer the technology. Microsoft tried something similar, but unfortunately they kept going back to the past.

It looks like a fortress. Are we expecting chaos in the streets?

Fortunately, it has a weakness, a small exhaust port leading to the main reactor...

Have a heckuva time finding a corner to pee in They've been growing trees at tree farms over the last few years, that will be transplanted to the campus. Thousands of trees and bushes. There will be plenty of hidden spots after landscaping is done.

I was thinking it’s the Pentagon, poorly disguised.

Neat.
The 12,000 h1-b visa holders can set their cardboard boxes in the center and live like kings on their pay.
