Fun for the people who will work there! The Google campus nearby has an ad-hoc feeling, assembled as existing buildings were purchased (at least when I was a contractor there). It is expensive, but designing a large beautiful campus must be great for employee moral.

Reducing complex shapes to topology only muddies the discussion. The Pentagon and Apple HQ toruses. Humans are also toruses when you consider the alimentary canal!
I would argue that humans are not topologically equivalent to toruses as most humans have many holes beyond the alimentary canal.
Apple HQ also has many other holes besides the park in the middle.

#133This 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.
Yeah.. i'm imagining it:
its exactly the same. I am -currently- using a wired mouse attached to a black box. Any you know what? It works pretty damn good.

>If only Steve Jobs had taken the traditional medicine route he would have been with us for another 50 years. That's a mighty fine assumption you are making there. Please share with me how you know this? Are you a future seeing oncologist that can see how his body would have reacted to specific treatments, or maybe you know more details than the rest of us about the exact mutation?
Just an educated guess. He drank berries and got massages to cure his cancer. His chances would have dramatically increase had he used traditional medicine.
Doctors who had first-hand knowledge of Jobs’ case suggest it was quite likely already too late:

It was definitely a boon at Blizzard when their new campus opened. Unfortunately, by the time it opened Blizzard had already outgrown it and some departments were left in those ad-hoc nearby buildings.
