Apples Future Campuses

Let's take a walk around new Apple campus.

Cupertino city officials recently gave the green light on Apple's wild new headquarters

.

.
.
.
Here's one of the first looks we've had inside the building. Note the iPod Nano banners: Apparently, Apple ads are the only art that'll do for Apple Campus 2
.

.
.
.
Slated for completion sometime in 2016, the new headquarters will inarguably be a stunning place to work. Here: the cavernous cafeteria
.

.
.
.
Office life will spill into a verdant landscape on both the inside and outside of the ring
.

.
.
.
The project was helmed by the firm of star architect Norman Foster
.

.
.
.
Though by Foster's account, Steve Jobs was hands-on from the start

An overhead view of the main building: 2.8 million square feet with room for 13,000 employees

A visitor's entrance

Employees who arrive by bus will enter at the Corporate Transit Center, with a walkway flanked by two Apple Store-white staircases
.

.
.
.
This pristine pavilion is where press will mingle at future events

Bill Gates 11 Rules You Never Learn In School





Rule 1: Life is not fair -- get used to it!



Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.



Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.



Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.



Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping -- they called it opportunity.



Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.



Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.



Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.



Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.



Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.



Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
