    Apple Is Suddenly Spending Billions Of Dollars On Secret Projects

    "The capital is being deployed almost silently and, though vast in scale, barely gets a mention from analysts," writes Dediu. "Not even a single question has been raised at any earnings call about this spending." His theory is that Apple, which prefers an "integrated" approach in everything it does, will soon make more of the components inside its gadgets, like chips.

    Is it easy (if at all) to build a fab in such secrecy? Personally I am not so sure but I've been wrong before :)

    I'm pretty sure it will leak soon, if it hasn't already - chances are that it has, to competitors.

    They also bought out some mapping company to use their data on Apple Maps.
