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?

All you sheeple cant even recognize a genuine 100% steve jobs tier feature and positive addition to your every day life. I give it a year before samsung is doing the same because they see how much feature it provides. Think of the function! Now nobody can write sexist manifestos from their desks, you can fire fred the nosepicker, and can judy who spends 0.0003% of her time watching cat videos.
Get with the times people!
