This seems crazy but Steve Jobs supposedly stood before the Cupertino City Council on Tuesday and asked for permission to build a totally round building for Apple’s 12,000 employees on land Apple purchased from HP. “It’s a little like a spaceship,” he says while describing it. [Techcrunch]

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 5:03 PMNice design, but I was cringing at the questions those councillors were asking. A mixture of sucking up and asking the ‘tough’(dumb)questions. What was with free wi-fi? Ask if any of the gardens is accessible for recreation by the public maybe, but wi-fi? I would have liked to see if apple had any interest in making it a environmentally sustainable building etc.

perhaps not?

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 6:56 PMPut some sort of mass collider in there. Great design for a particle accelerator!
Perhaps they can discover the elusive wankertronium? That would advance us in leaps and bounds in the field of expensive branded consumer electronics…

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 11:37 PMSteve’s answer to benefit to cupertino:
Do I care, don’t I own this council? Like the council would piss off apple.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2:51 AMSteve knows how to talk to different audiences.
At Apple events when announcing products, Steve is arrogant and passionate.
When talking to the city council, he seems humble and respectful.
