Video of Jobs proposing second Cupertino campus

My friend Chris Saribay sent me this link to a video he posted on his blog showing Steve Jobs proposing to the Cupertino City Council a plan to build a second, 50-acre Apple campus. Reuters already reported on this, but it's great to hear it, as Chris writes, "from the horse's mouth." It's very Stevenote-y, with Jobs sporting his usual black turtleneck attire -- except the setting is almost eerie: him standing in front of the council, in an near-empty room.

Definitely worth a watch, if for nothing more than to hold you over until the next official Stevenote.

BluePumpkin is actually human managed, even if the basic shedule is proposed by the computer.
Too bad you have this 6 week period in Austin, in Ireland it's 2 weeks of the same schedule...

Man, "rib-scratching Steve" -- that was hilarious.

Looks to be less than a 1/2 mile from the current campus.

His closet actually is just full of black turtlenecks. He actually addressed this once a few years back. He said that he "never wanted to waste time in the morning wondering what to wear to work". He got the idea from Albert Einstein, who said and did the same thing, but he didn't wear black....

I can't blame him. Having hired ex-dell managers to :pause: well "manage" the Austin Apple Campus, all the veterans have left as it's been turned into a micromanaged hell hole, who's main focus is selling products from the Apple Store rather than solving peoples issues (in the absolutely shortest amount of time possible or you get a demerit!). They even have an automated program called Blue Pumpkin that automatically assigns hourly employees a new schedule every six weeks. I guess the damage is irreversible.

Steve's closet probably looks like Nanny's from the Muppet Babies.

That was almost insanely great! He should do more of this, less of iPod Hi-Fi!
