Am I really supposed to see three spheres in the image included in the first post? I know my eyes aren't what they used to be, but try as I might, I only see two intersecting spheres.

I know that this is a forum for people who hate reading, but:

distinguished by three intersecting spheres


I assume the third sphere is behind the two you see.

Oh, I read the part about 3 spheres (that's why I used the word "intersecting") all right, I just couldn't see the third. Even focusing on the transparent intersectiony bits, I can't make out a hint of a third ball.

There's other pics at the quoted articles, including some that show the balls and the attached skyscraper. Make of the combo whatever you will.

I live not far at all from that Longaberger monstrosity. When driving a certain direction on a certain road, it dominates your view. A private pilot once got in trouble for flying a small plane through the handles as a stunt.

But isn't it "stunning" the subtle way the unique form of the 38 storey office block behind will so organically blend in with the "stunning" balls before it ....

Such vision.

Stunning, in fact ...

Or do I mean stultifying ....

No, I mean where's the AK47, and the wall reserved for architects .... not just for the designs they come up with ... but the absolute crap they talk about them.

AK47's aren't accurate enough for a firing squad.
Best bet is to dig up an old Garand if you really want to go ballistic.

LOL That brings back memories of my youth, but I won't delve much into weapons for the site doesn't like that.

Still I am upset with Bezos for deliberately never making a profit and now trying to do Apple like architecture.

Just a token dividend, Jeff. Just a modicum.

... or stick to new warehouses and distribution centers.

Jeff Bezos is overcompensating. For what, you should be able to tell just by looking at the design.

A constantly rising stock price is a way to return value to the stockholders.
Would a stock split work for you?

As for the HQ, companies can't live off warehouses alone; they need cubicle farms too.
