Employees are injuring themselves by walking into the glass walls of Apple's fancy new headquarters:
The centerpiece of Apple Inc.'s new headquarters is a massive, ring-shaped office overflowing with panes of glass, a testament to the company's famed design-obsessed aesthetic.
There's been one hiccup since it opened last year: Apple employees keep smacking into the glass.
Surrounding the Cupertino, California-based building are 45-foot tall curved panels of safety glass. Inside are work spaces, dubbed "pods," also made with a lot of glass. Apple staff are often glued to the iPhones they helped popularize. That's resulted in repeated cases of distracted employees walking into the panes, according to people familiar with the incidents.
Some staff started to stick Post-It notes on the glass doors to mark their presence. However, the notes were removed because they detracted from the building's design, the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing anything related to Apple. Another person familiar with the situation said there are other markings to identify the glass.
What kind of markings? Bloodstains?

That means your brain's cynicism levels are starting to reach appropriate levels. Another six months tops and you'll be rejecting identity politics. A few years after that you'll reject both major parties.

I think that happened to me when I was about 8, when my mom found some donated cans tainted with botulism in a church charity drive. Identity politics have always sucked, but it did take me a bit longer to reject both parties.
