This is so beautiful and inspiring. A real legacy. Imagine a world without Apple computers pushing the envelope. We'd still be using wired mice and ugly black boxes. If only Steve Jobs had taken the traditional medicine route he would have been with us for another 50 years.

>Imagine a world without Apple computers pushing the envelope. We'd still be using wired mice and ugly black boxes. Wow talk about drinking the kool aid. Apple did not invent the wireless mouse, that honor belongs to Logitech[1]. [1]: http://www.macworld.com/article/1137400/input-devices/mouse4...

Invent != popularize.

You can see it from a nearby hiking trail, Rancho San Antonio. It's really rather stunning.

Also, I really appreciate whichever jurisdiction gave the go ahead and funded the expansion of the on/off ramps on Wolfe/280 (likely Cupertino?). The traffic in the area has become really miserable over the years and I'm hopeful that things are a bit better than the current De Anza Blvd situation.

And we'd have a retina Macbook Air...

And then everyone took the bait.

Parts of this should be open to the public. The public has had to endure all of the construction and has lost a large amount of land-space that could have been used for the community. Instead, we have a completely private & inaccessible area. Sure, there are cafes, fitness centers, and working areas within the building but none of it is public and all at the expense of the people who live there.
