Apple Park employees reportedly smacking into new headquarters’ glass walls

That was an amusing read. True to Apple's "form over function", like how the wireless magic mouse doesn't charge from the edge because that would leave a notch. I suppose with iPhone X, notches are 'in' and we can expect a new mouse.

>like how the wireless magic mouse doesn't charge from the edge

That's not at all true. The magic mouse charges from the bottom to discourage people from leaving it plugged in while they're using it which, as most people do with rechargeable mice, kills the battery.

You'd think for an $80 mouse they'd have thrown in a few cents worth of charging management circuitry.

Another reason why even on apple.com it has an average rating of 2.4/5.

That makes no sense because they could easily fix whatever battery-killing problem you get with some electronics.

Ah good old form over function. Maybe issue all employees helmets.

Describes Apple to a tee the last decade or so. I say this as a sad Apple fanboy of about 25 years.

A video would be worth 1,000 articles.

Hey Apple, I think Amazon's recommendation engine might have misplaced this product suggestion. https://www.amazon.com/Simplicity-Infant-Toddler-children-Cu...
