    I give Apple credit and praise, they are constructing and moving into a new massive facility. This alone is a major design task and disruption to their core business. I think once they settle into a new facility we will see the fruits (lol) of their labors. I expect in the next 5 years more innovation and domination of the markets they choose to enter. I think it is under appreciated the amount of time and energy each department has to spend in planning and coordinating such a enormous project. It will be a major part of Tim Cooks legacy and allow Apple to flourish to even greater extents in decades to come. So I am not even mad about the MacBook Pro or Mac Pro anymore. Just my rambling opinion.
