Hi
Hmmm. I was actually struck by the similarity between Apple's new HQ
and GCHQ, the UK government's "top-secret" communications monitoring
station -

(all that should be on one line, or just google for "gchq" and look at
the images).

Hi everyone,
The latest update on the Apple story is that they are actually going
to build their new headquarters in Southern Sweden:

You can see that the lawn outside has been severely affected by the
reality distortion field. Actually Apple seem to have moved away
from the monolithic design in Fred's mail towards something
"greener" (well with grass on the roof anyway...) and more compact.
Check out another, even more elegant earlier design here:

Sorry, a bit off topic. But in the news today (check google news
for example): Steve Jobs (Apple) has revealed his plans for the new
"Apple campus" (Apple headquarters) in Cupertino, California.
Should look familiar to macromolecular crystallographers.
Fred.
