One ‘spaceship’ campus is not enough, so Apple plans to build two

The current “spaceship campus” Apple is building apparently isn’t enough. According to The Silicon Valley Business Journal reports that the company has secured a deal to build another spaceship campus in Sunnyvale, California.

The article says Apple has sealed a deal for Landbank Investments LLC’s planned Central & Wolfe campus — a curvaceous, 777,000-square-foot project at Central Expressway and Wolfe Road “that’s expected to look like nothing else ever attempted in Silicon Valley.” Its marketing web address is Notanotherbox.com (where the graphics for this article came from).

Meanwhile, construction is well underway for Apple’s first spaceship campus, and should be finished by the end of 2016. The new campus, which will supplement and not replace Apple’s current headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop, was a pet project of the late Steve Jobs. It’s a four-story, 2.8 million square foot building to be built on land formerly occupied by Hewlett Packard’s campus.

With iBooks for iOS, you can use Spotlight to search for books by title, author name, or series name. This will show you books you already have in your library and books available on the iBooks Store. If you’ve started reading the book, we will also show you how much of the book you’ve already read.

To get the new version of iBooks for iOS, update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 9. To get the new iBooks for Mac, install OS X El Capitan 10.11.

With the latest version of iBooks Author, Apple has improved the import function for Pages and Microsoft Word documents. For best results, you should use section breaks between chapters when you write your book in Pages or Microsoft Word.

If you’re using one of the EPUB templates, you can now also add Pop-Over widgets with text or images to your book. The new version of iBooks Author is available on the Mac App Store.
