Hi Hmmm. I was actually struck by the similarity between Apple's new HQ and GCHQ, the UK government's "top-secret" communications monitoring station - http://www.google.co.uk/searchq=gchq&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1175&bih=764&prmd=ivnsm&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=hA_1TYeHJYOw8gOC1NSXBw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBMQ_AUoAQ (all that should be on one line, or just google for "gchq" and look at the images).
