Is this a surprise meant to coincide with Apple’s 30th anniversary next month? We’ll know soon enough. This 220-acre monstrosity has been built on the site of an abandoned mine in a remote part of western Australia.
According to Gizmodo, this is the story behind the massive ad: “When Apple CEO Steve Jobs won an abandoned mineral mine in western Australia in a poker game from late Australian publishing and gaming tycoon Kerry Packer, he reportedly asked that the first advertisement capable of being seen from space be created there.”
