Don't worry though. I'm sure your sense of humor will arrive with your Zune order.

There's not thing like bright, shiny ductwork to say "this space never intended for human habitation."]]>May 9th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/
Call it what you like...A cube farm is still a cube farm...So much for the 'social' philosophy of the Zune...or did they give up the 'welcome to the social' marketing?

I do like the fact that there seems to be a lot of 'bump into' space and places where people can go to get out of cubicle hell for a while.]]>May 9th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/May 9th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/

"Soon enough a few hundred Zune employees will be packing up and moving to a new building that's currently under construction, though."]]>May 9th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/
The future building has nothing to do with the irony of the situation.
My comment was drawing a parallel between the capabilities of a generic mp3 player with tacked on and unused social features and a generic office space with unused meeting spaces (or in this comparison, 'social features').

Well done on your razor-sharp, 'yer mom'-caliber comment. Ten out of ten!]]>May 9th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/

Tacked on and unused social features? So being able to share content is not useful? How about multi-player games? Maybe you don't have friends, but I guess I should expect that from someone who calls himself "handsome".]]>May 9th 2008 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/May 9th 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/That is all for this tour.

Quote from above article -
"The company is also building one of the Western Hemisphere's largest underground parking garages -- with room for about 5,000 vehicles, on four stories. It will be beneath a central playfield and commons buildings on the West Campus."]]>May 9th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/May 9th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/zune-headquarters-mini-tour/
