New Apple HQ
Looks like there will be a break in the Infinite Loop!
Steve Jobs revealed this week that Apple is building a new, 50-acre corporate campus. They plan to tear down 9 different adjacent properties about 1-mile away from their current campus and build their second home.
Why does Apple need a new corporate campus? They are growing. The first iPod was released in 2001. Six years later the success of the iPod and the iTunes Music Store means Apple's business has tripled. As result of this expansion, Apple has been renting every spare piece of real estate in Cupertino and their employees are scattered across 30 different buildings.
It was time for Apple to build a new home.

Do you think they will plant Apple trees around the new campus?

As a university student who comes from Cupertino, it's pretty cool to see an update on how my hometown is expanding. I have no idea where Apple's going to find enough room to build, either but it's reassuring to me to know that Jobs is trying to remain as loyal as he can to Cupertino by hunting so hard for extra property. Especially since I believe him when he says that whatever Apple bought in Cupertino is much more expensive than any other 50 acres elsewhere.
