Why Jony Ive sweated the details and Tim Cook spared no expense.

 

From Mashable:

The singer and actress performed a special private concert for Apple employees on Friday to help formally open the campus as well as pay tribute to Steve Jobs, according MacRumors. The concert took place on a Jony Ive-designed stage, decked with a rainbow arch, inside of Apple Park’s ring..

My take: The cost of the rainbow stage? Millions. Keeping alive the myth of Steve Jobs? Priceless. (I suspect this is not the last we’re going to see of that retro Apple rainbow motif.)
