Ok now we love bashing apple, but look at that HQ. The HQ is 2.8 million square-foot or 176 arce, that is one giant HQ. Like all the other apple stores the HQ looks just as clean.

The latest images of the 2.8 million square-foot campus show an expansive cafeteria, an underground parking garage, and a subterranean auditorium where forthcoming Apple products will be unveiled to the media.

The office will sit on a 176-acre plot of land, most of which will be dedicated to indigenous flora and fauna to act as a barrier between the floor-to-ceiling glass walls and the outside world.

There will also be separate facilities outside of the main campus for R&D.

Well, look at that, when it comes to their HQ they can think outside the box and actually innovate, now why cant they do that with their products?

Steve jobs was a V and was planning to control the human race by ensuring that everyone had an iDevice. This campus was the final stage of his plan.

 

(insert "it's happening" gif here)

 

He was never able to see it full realized and instead passed his plans on to Tim Cook.

It must just be me but, This looks horrific. What a plain and boring thing to make. I mean I suppose all their products are pretty boring looking but this... It doesn't look like its using space very efficiently. In that space they could've made soooo much more.... This is worse than Google's design and I never thought I would say that.

I see some resemblance, but not as tall...

Completely coincidental. You could also say the HQ looks like a donut, wheel, circle (duh), ring etc...
