Apple has posted a job opening for a 'Web UI Designer - Maps' that will be working on 'a new secret project'.

At Apple, we're lucky to be working on projects that have the potential to change the world. We're working on an exciting new system and need your help. You would be joining a small team working on an advanced web platform upon which many of Apple's future services will be based. We are looking for an extremely capable front-end engineer who has a strong background in web services development, and who has built high-performance, scalable and extensible systems. In this highly visible position, the successful candidate will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to define and implement some of the web pages for the system that will power next generation Apple products.

Description:
● Design, develop, and maintain complex front-end code for a new secret project
● Document and build unit tests for your code. Work with operations, QA, and product management to maximize product effectiveness

It's unclear what this new secret project might entail; however, Apple has acquired a string of location and mapping based companies and may be looking to create a new service using those acquired technologies.

If you are interested in the job, the listing is linked below...

There's going to be a paper shortage between all the NDA's each applicant has to sign, along with the background checks into the last 200 years of life and ancestry.

As soon as I read "we are lucky to be working on projects that have the potential change the world" I stopped reading. Apple didn't change the world; they made a smartphone which already existed better. The world is still the same. The invention of the internal combustion engine changed the world, the invention of nuclear power changed the world, flight changed the world, and antibiotics changed the world. Apple has done nothing of the sort. They didn't even invent the computer but they purport themselves like they did... with their small 10% market share of computer sales and all.

No, Einstein laid the foundation for nuclear power; without Einstein there is no a-bomb and there is no nuclear power. In fact, without Einstein we would not have GPS as time dilation would screw up locating the receiver. Yes, even at 17,000 mph around the earth, signs of time dilation would screw it up by a mile. So yes, Einstein changed the world in so many ways. Jobs did not. He improved upon systems which already existed to make them better, nothing more.
