Drone Video of New Apple Mothership

(sound is kind of obnoxious, just wind and the drone)

Really.

I just turned the volume down next to 0. The barely audible wind noise and sound of the drone- droning gives a cool ambiance.

I wish there was a display that showed compass heading and altitude. That way frakkin' cool!

The comments once again show that 99.9% of websites should remove and never provide comment sections. Of the remaining .1per cent 99.9% of the comments should be heavily moderated and removed.

But one cracked me up:

dude what planet is this??

I'd be so freakin' worried that some air catastrophe would befall my drone, and that lasers designed to kill escaping lab monkeys would zap me while trying to retrieve it.

I'm a little surprised that something didn't zap the drone. Or an Apple anti-drone drone didn't at least chase it off.

Way cool. Thanks for the link.

Loved it. Thanks.

It was interesting for about a minute.

:dunno:

Apple security is slipping. It didn't get shot down.
One wonders if that huge edifice is really necessary.

regarding earthquakes in California, they talk about a "big one", of course no one know if and when it will happen, but how far away is this Apple Campus from the earthquake region?

I don't think they could be much closer.

CA's major earthquake fault, the San Andreas Fault, goes right through that area. Cupertino is located roughly at the tip of the arrow in the map.

I think all new construction nowadays is engineered to best withstand major earthquakes.

It's right in the zone but it doesn't matter—the entire building instantly can lift off and hover at 15 feet for up to 23 minutes.

See, I didn't think of that.
