Life in Cupertino

News.com, never one to shy away from the tough tech stories, took a reporter and camera crew to Cupertino and spoke with residents about what life is like living with Apple HQ in their backyards. The video reveals such shocking details as:
  • When Apple employees go to the Outback Steakhouse they eat steak and drink beer (though not an excessive amount)
  • You can tell an Apple employee by their Apple badge
I will leave you to discover the other shocking truths when you watch the video (which is sponsored by Microsoft).

I've eaten at that Outback... first one I ever went to, about 11 years ago. It was a religious experience as a Performa owner :P

OMG, I hate to live in Europe, all the quality tv programming is obviously coming from the US of A. That news clip was awesome.

Damn European reporters, they should watch and learn, I'd like to see that kind of an insight sometimes here too.

That was a terrible terrible video. Why not visit a site that truely pays homage to what it was like to get an Apple II for the first time. I suggest this TG Daily article, it's great.

The middle-aged lady at the end of the video was actually more informed and easier to listen to than the "reporter" - ha.

Cnet's attempt with "tongue-in-cheek" video humor was really boring but I suppose that's expected seeing that all their video features are sponsored by Microsoft.

Good God, this is depressingly boring. I have it playing in a background tab and I am waiting to hear *something* that sounds like a spark of life. I'd have more sympathy if it was a student's first awkward attempt, but this is "CNET News.com's Amanda Termen," who is presumably a professional.

Wow...yeah...this piece...I have to agree with 1, 2 & 4. That was just trash. That's WORSE than videos I've seen in my Broadcasting Classes. And let me tell you...that's saying something.
