Apple Planning To Build Private Restaurant

First time accepted submitter a90Tj2P7 writes "Apple is building a 21,468 square foot private restaurant in Cupertino so employees can talk shop over lunch without being overheard. Apple's director of real estate facilities, Dan Wisenhunt, stated that: 'We like to provide a level of security so that people and employees can feel comfortable talking about their business, their research and whatever project they're engineering without fear of competition sort of overhearing their conversations.'"

I hope they serve more than just apples.

If they don't know those have microphones and cameras, they won't realize security is a waste of time.

or that you can hear everything just by the vibrations off of the windows.

1. Walled Garden Salad
2. Beleaguered Sea Bass
3. ThaiPad

I've heard of this before...

Most larger companies have one of these. It's called a cafeteria.

Well if it's urinals I'd think they'd really want you to not give a crap.

It will undoubtedly have a walled garden.

That's always been part of Apple's business model. It started with the Apple computer. They were the first company to really market computers to home users.

Wild guess, are you around 13 years old?
