An electric company spokesperson says a squirrel was responsible for an outage that took out power for nearly 2,000 Cupertino, California residents on Saturday.

For ultimate proof of Steve Jobs' salesmanship, look not to the Apple CEO's keynotes, but to this one-minute presentation of a new Apple headquarters to the Cupertino City Council. It will make you consider buying an actual office park.

A miracle: Cupertino bureaucrats have managed to go two years without being verbally abused by perfectionist cult leader Steve Jobs over any and all modifications to his vision for a second Apple campus in the Valley suburb. In his surprise appearance before the local city council back then, Jobs threatened to locate the new offices in another sleepy South Bay burg. But no paperwork has been filed for planning or construction, according to Fortune. Maybe Jobs is still busy verbally abusing the architects.

When you crunch the drive from San Francisco to Cupertino down to 1 minute 50 seconds, it becomes as thrilling as racing a Ferrari through Paris (which is also on Google Video). No engine noises on this high-speed video of the commute to Apple HQ, so you'll have to make "vrrrrrrum" sounds with your mouth.
