Apple Campus 2 'Spaceship' Taking Shape as Construction Continues
Heading into November, construction on Apple's second campus is progressing nicely, with Apple's construction crews making a lot of headway on the ring-shaped main building. A new aerial video captured by drone pilot Duncan Sinfield and shared with MacRumors gives a close-up view at the current state of the building.
Four internal levels of the primary building have now been completed, and the concept Steve Jobs envisioned for the campus is starting to take shape. When completed, the interior area of the building will feature hundreds of trees and lots of greenery, with outdoor eating and viewing areas for Apple employees.
Two nearby parking structures are now close to being completed, and there's also been some progress made on the underground auditorium, where Apple will hold major press events. There have been a lot of changes since we last shared an
aerial video in September.
When fully complete, the second Apple campus will feature the 2.8 million square foot ring-shaped main building, several parking structures, a 100,000 square foot fitness center, a 120,000 square foot auditorium for hosting events, and a dedicated visitor's center complete with an observation deck, cafe, and Apple Store. Apple is on track to finish construction at the end of next year.

Do you have any data whatsoever to back this up? Of course not. It's just a *** blurb. Many excellent companies have very nice headquarters. If you think apple is spending too much money on this, then make a stand and stop buying apple products.
I think it's even worse than that. One guy here is going to be bashing the apple watch on his death bed. Another will be talking about the 5400 rpm disk issue at his high school graduation, and he doesn't even care about the iMac.
Trying to get useful information from any thread here is becoming harder and harder to do. If this isn't stopped, fairly soon this forum is simply going to become a forum for joke (and bad ones at that) and a place for people with nothing better to do with their lives than to complain about anything and everything to gather. Those who actually have something useful to say will be long gone. I hope the owners understand this and realize what is happening to the forum.
