#12This is a story from TheNextWeb. Isn't that the same outfit that has been recently exposed for Plagiarism: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3972651 while their CEO defended their behavior?
The story made it to the top of HN and earned an insane number of upvotes.
Is our memory really that short? Do we trust this story? Do we even want to read it?

#13Call me cynical, but I wonder if this would have the same number of points if Steve Jobs not namechecked in the title. I imagine a bunch of startups knocking holes in their walls first thing tomorrow morning.
Namedropping Pixar was probably sufficient

Well, here it is from the horse's mouth itself (Pixar): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMrk_wyWM1w

#15Every building should have a secret room or two. There must be square miles worth of "wasted" interior room just like this in your average city. Find it before the urbex/hobos do!
Not to be a party pooper, but firefighters hate these things, especially when people build them into their houses for kids. They get skipped over when searching for people in a burning building.

#16I wonder whether this inspired the low access tunnel in Being John Malkovich?

#18I HAVE BEEN IN THIS ROOM. WHOO!
I have too! It's kind of the worst kept secret... Personally I'd be sort of annoyed at people wandering through my office all the time to show it off when I wasn't there, it's a great example of the creativity of the people who work there. Lots of the cubes are decorated to the extreme...

> Do we trust this story?
Trust is not an issue. The issue is that every upvote is an implicit endorsement. One either was indeed despised with their sleazy behavior last week, or it was a just a good old fun of crowd lynching and me-too outrage.

#20This is really cool, but is it legal to do something like this in an office space? Just thinking about health and safety, accessibility etc. Would love to be enlightened.
God I'm such a bore.
