Apple is turning Japanese

by on10 December 2014

I really think so

Japan, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has asked the fruity cargo cult Apple to set up a technical development centre in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Japan’s history of working with autocratic religions of people deluded into following a single leader is not the best, but Abe hopes that Apple’s technical development centre will provide much needed jobs in his slowing economy.

Needless to say he announced it as part of a campaign speech outside of Tokyo ahead of a general election on Sunday.

"Apple has decided it will undertake cutting-edge R&D in Japan. It will be formally announced soon," he said.

Breaking any Apple NDA he might have signed, Abe went on say the facility will be on par with Apple's biggest technical development centres in Asia. Of course there were very little details, but Apple said the new technical centre will be located in Yokohama, outside Tokyo, and will lead to the creation of dozens of new jobs.

Technical development centers typically are involved in aspects of new processes or products, rather than designing finished products.

Apparently coming up with rounded rectangle’s and other geometric inovations will continue to be done from the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California, the spokesman added.
