Steve’s Spaceship

Business, Of Interest, Politics, Technology
A spaceship will be landing in Cupertino, California and who else could possibly be responsible? Only the lovable Apple boss Steve Jobs of course. Steve has plans to build a new Apple campus on land, some of which was acquired from Hewlett Packard when parts of their global business went tits up. The new headquarters is destined to house 12,000 employees in a very cool donut shaped building that looks similar to a spaceship when viewed from above. The most interesting part of this story is his appearance at a recent city council meeting to plug his plans and gain the necessary permits and blessing from a town that owes him much more than the large tax revenue generated by his Apple technology behemoth.

There's a few choice apps available amongst all the crap on iTunes that will make us forget all about what we can't have, reduce our national inferiority complex and help us organize and sort our porn.

Phone Wars

Silly Stuff, Technology
