Made in Cupertino

Yesterday, Steve Jobs unveiled his plans to build a new iconic Apple HQ in Cupertino to house 12,000 employees. The circular building, like many Apple stores, is deceivingly simple-looking, but will not have one piece of exterior glass that is straight. The plan also calls for auditoriums to give Apple keynote lectures and underground parking to allow for a massive amount of landscaping to fill the rest of the lot.

Check out the link below to listen to Steve Jobs' proposal to the Cupertino City Council.
