...universe: 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Calif., where Apple has been headquartered since 1993. The campus, for such they call it, is enormous yet not big enough to contain Apple's current rate of expansion. An additional site is being designed and built. After stocking up on "I visited the mothership" T-shirts at the company store (we fanboys are pathetic, I readily confess), I am shown around the canteen, lawns and public spaces. It is right to call this a campus, for everyone looks and dresses like a student. I should imagine the only people ever caught wearing suits here...

Even if the Lane pilot doesn't make the cut there are currently at least four series on the air which use government, politics, and the media for their story lines. "The West Wing," arguably the mothership for this new fleet of shows, has even hired former Clinton Administration and congressional staffers to provide the proper authenticity for their scripts. They must be doing something right. The show is a huge ratings success, runs the table at the Emmys, and is the darling of the Beltway crowd...
