An anonymous reader links to a short note at Tech Newest, according to which "Apple Inc. plans to create a $304 million campus in Austin, Texas, which will add 3,600 jobs over the next decade, more than doubling its labourforce in the city. The Cupertino, California, customer device [maker] already employs thousands in Austin, whose tasks include handling customer issues and support."

Awesome. I for one can't wait to hear about the turf war between Dell's Round Rock campus and this new Apple Dumpling gang.

So I've heard all sorts of irrelevant or just plain wrong complaints about Austin.
Austin is a great place -- it has a great climate, wonderful food (especially BBQ) and beer, fun women, great live music and lots of other things to do.
The only thing wrong with Austin is that it’s surrounded by Texas.
