Apple buys old HP headquarters
THE BLACK SHIRTED LEGIONS of Jobs' Mob will take over HP's former headquarters complex in the land of cappuccino.
The 98-acre parcel of land at 19091 Pruneridge Avenue in Cupertino is adjacent to 50 acres Apple picked up back in 2006.
An Apple spokesperson said that the former HP campus will be used to house its rapidly expanding workforce.
"Apple has occupied 57 buildings in Cupertino and still our campus is bursting at the seams," Apple's Steve Dowling said. "These offices will give us more space for our employees as we continue to grow."
Neither HP nor Apple have said how much it will be paying for the complex, but it is estimated that Steve Jobs might have to write a cheque for $300 million or more.
HP has moved its headquarters to a newer office complex in Palo Alto. µ

Ermm... Apple DOESN'T own Foxconn in China if this is what you mean. Foxconn is an independent manufacturer who makes components for many famous brands as Dell, Nokia, microsoft, etc.
It's good to do a little research first before posting rumours instead of facts.

Are they going to build huge tower blocks for their workers like they have in China, or will it be a lot nicer?
Why don't Apple set a good example and pay their employees fairly in China instead of running "Nike" style sweatshops?
