Apple spaceship campus to Cupertino City Council
Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed plans for a new headquarters for the company that “looks a little like a
spaceship” at a City Council meeting in Cupertino, Calif.

In his trademark black turtleneck, jeans and gray New Balance running shoes, Jobs said at the
