Apple's $5 billion "Spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California, almost looks like it's ready for take-off.

Construction on the project, titled Apple Campus 2, started in 2013 and planning was in the works for many years before that. 

At a company-wide meeting last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that some of the first employees would likely move in by the end of January 2017. 

But Cupertino's city inspector said last fall that it believed the project was behind schedule, and landscaping on the project isn't supposed to wrap up until next quarter, according to the City of Cupertino.

Regardless, the campus will be finished this year. Drone photographers Matthew Roberts and Duncan Sinfield have the latest look:

Here's a look a little bit closer.

The building looks almost completed! Only a few finishing touches needed.

Super Bowl 51 is set to air on Fox on February 5 and, as usual, the big game's broadcast will be stuffed to the brim with big-money ads, reportedly costing $5 million for a 30-second slot.

Brands are now starting to share their ads and teasers as the Super Bowl draws closer.

We'll be keeping you up to date with all the latest commercials, teasers, and other Super Bowl ads news.

Scroll down to see what we know so far about the Super Bowl ads (we've organized all the news in alphabetical order, by brand.)

84 Lumber

Construction-supply company 84 Lumber has splashed out an estimated $15 million on a 90-second ad — its debut Super Bowl spot, AdAge reported. The ad, created by Brunner, will air in the second quarter, before half-time and aims to recruit new employees. 

However, the first cut of the ad has had to be scrapped after Fox rejected it for being "too political,"Campaign first reported. The creative had featured a wall blocking people looking for work in the US.

Here's a recent 84 Lumber ad, celebrating its 60th year:

Audi

The automaker is returning to the Super Bowl for the ninth time, with an ad created by agency Venables Bell & Partners, according to Adweek.

Last year's spot featured David Bowie's "Starman":

Avocados from Mexico

Avocados from Mexico told Business Insider in December it was coming back to the Super Bowl in 2017. It's the third year in a row the brand has advertised in the big game.

This year's ad will be focused on promoting the fact that avocados are healthy, something the company was not explicitly permitted to do so in the past due to old FDA rules.

The brand released a teaser spot on January 23:

Hollywood's stars joined tens of thousands of protestors over the weekend in speaking out about President Donald Trump's immigration ban.

As protests were held at airports and major US landmarks all over the country, Hollywood was throwing two of its biggest awards events of the year: the Sundance Film Festival awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Many celebrities used those platforms and the protests to voice their opposition to Trump's ban.

The immigration ban — which is being challenged as unconstitutional and called racist and a "Muslim ban" by critics – temporarily blocks travelers from entering the US from seven predominately Muslim countries and bans all refugees from entering for the next 120 days.

The impact on Hollywood was immediately felt when Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, whose film "The Salesman" is nominated for a best foreign film Oscar, said the ban would stop him from being able to attend the awards ceremony on February 26. 

While some entertainment stars certainly support Trump and his executive order, the vocal majority has made its objections to his presidency clear.

Over the weekend, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seth Rogen, Taraji P. Henson, Ashton Kutcher, and Sarah Paulson, among many other stars, expressed their disapproval of the immigration ban.

Here's what they had to say:

Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen used his powerful presence on social media to spread the word of a protest in Los Angeles on Sunday and spoke about his own immigrant roots.

Simon Helberg

CBS's "The Big Bang Theory"star Simon Helberg and his wife, Jocelyn Towne, didn't have to speak any words. On the SAG Awards red carpet, he held a sign reading, "Refugees welcome," while she had "Let them in" written on her chest.

Bruce Springsteen

During a concert in Adelaide, Australia on Sunday, Bruce Springsteen denounced the travel ban, saying it's "anti-democratic and fundamentally un-American." 

"America is a nation of immigrants," he also said.

He then dedicated a performance of "American Land" to all immigrants.

Protests swept the nation over the weekend in opposition to President Trump's executive order preventing refugees and others from predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US. 

Activists took to the streets and rallied at airports in major cities to protest the order, which many viewed as discriminatory and unconstitutional. Politicians on both sides of the aisle joined the opposition. 

CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin said Monday that some CEOs he had spoken to were avoiding speaking out against the ban because they are "scared out of their minds about being attacked [by Trump] ... and what that's going to do for their business." 

But many execs are speaking out. 

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who came to the US as a child to escape religious persecution, was spotted at a protest at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.

"I'm here because I'm a refugee," he told Forbes. 

Tech executives have been the most outspoken against the ban so far. But by Monday, other corporate leaders in finance and health care had joined in opposition, issuing statements to employees and customers expressing concern. 

— Portia Crowe, Alex Heath, Lydia Ramsey, and Cadie Thompson contributed reporting.

Mark Fields, CEO of Ford

"Core to our values are respect for people,"Fields told Business Insider. "And all of our policies, including our human resource policies, support a diverse and inclusive workplace and we don't support policies that are counter to our values. We are going to stay focused to the well-being of our employees and running a successful business."

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google

"We’re upset about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the US," Pichai wrote in a company-wide email.

"It’s painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues."

Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs

"The president has issued an executive order that, generally, bans individuals from seven different countries from entering the United States and freezes the broader refugee program. This is not a policy we support, and I would note that it has already been challenged in federal court, and some of the order has been enjoined at least temporarily."

In the wee hours of Monday morning, a new Miss Universe was crowned: Iris Mittenaere, a 24-year-old dental student from a small town in northern France.

She's the first French woman to take the crown since 1953, Reuters reports — and she beat out 85 other hopefuls to win it. 

Curious about Mittenaere's life beyond the bathing suits and ball gowns? Here's a deeper look at the woman now wearing the crown. 

Iris is in her fifth year of school, pursuing a degree in dental surgery.

As Miss Universe, she hopes to spread awareness about dental care. It's an important cause: Poor oral hygiene health is a major public health issue that disproportionately affects children and adults with low incomes.

"Miss Universe was a dream, every girl wants to be Miss Universe," she said at a post-crowning press conference. "I want to help people, I want to understand people, I want to meet people; that's why this is a dream for me."

She's also an adrenaline junkie who loves extreme sports.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Getting engaged means you have a shared vision of your lives together.
• It's important to have a sense of direction when it comes to major decisions.
• Go with your gut, and make sure you know what you're getting into.

It's easy to get swept up in the starry-eyed romance of a perfectly-planned proposal, but getting engaged isn't all surprise scavenger hunts and Pinterest-worthy events.

According to relationship expert and bestselling author Susan Winter, it's a serious commitment that requires communication, compromise, and going with your gut.

Here are five signs that you're ready to put a ring on it.

Your relationship dynamic feels balanced

Compromise is essential in any relationship, but one side shouldn't feel like they're compromising more than the other. 

"You don't want to be the one who's always giving up ground, because eventually you'll become resentful," Winter said. "You want it to be a back and forth, and a give and take."

Knowing how to meet halfway and balance each others' needs sets you and your partner up for long-term success.

You have a shared sense of direction

Marrying someone means you're planning to spend your lives together, so you want to make sure your lives are actually heading in the same direction. Where do you both see yourselves in five years? In 10?

"You have to have a really clear vision of where the two of you want to go, because now you're going to be a team," she said.

You can have uncomfortable discussions

A general idea of where your individual lives are going is just the beginning. Next come the boring, awkward, or unpleasant conversations about the details that will shape your life together.

"You've got to have the uncomfortable discussions that you didn't want to have when you were dating, like how do you both view money, how do you view debt, how do you view risk?" said Winter. "You're going to be yolked financially."

The ability to talk openly about tricky topics means that you've established a baseline of trust and honesty.

You'll always be allowed a few mulligans, but by the time you've hit the big 3-0, you should have sorted out most of the reckless money habits you may have fallen into in your 20s.

While most of us know what it takes to succeed, we're all guilty of perpetuating lies about the state of our finances. You don't want those lies holding you back in the next stage of your life, and into your peak earning years.

So free yourself from these 15 money lies by the time you're 30.

DON'T MISS: 9 important money concepts to understand before you're 30

SEE ALSO: 7 money goals every 30-something should set

1. So long as my job pays well, it's OK if I hate it.

The job market may not be what it used to be, but by age 30 no one should be toiling away at a job that leaves them stressed out and dissatisfied with life. Sometimes you just have to say no, and have the confidence to quit.

We were inspired by a young woman who wrote about turning her back on a lucrative job on Wall Street when years of 14-hour work days made her overweight, burnt out, and miserable.

"I'm a few months into my new job [as an asset manager for a nonprofit] and it's made my life richer. I'm making an effort to breathe, smile, eat healthier, and have positive thoughts about my future," she wrote.

"I took a pay cut of about 30% to change positions, but I don't think that I should be applauded for making the choice to accept less pay – I don't view it as a sacrifice."

2. If I turn a blind eye, my finances will figure themselves out.

One of the worst things to do in your early 20s is to ignore financial red flags when they arise.

Check your bank account, no matter how fearful you are of how low the number might be; don't leave your credit report untouched; and take advantage of work benefits, such as the 401(k) match.

If you're broke, you might as well know it and own it. It's the only way you'll ever truly be able to do something about it.

3. I should get married because it's the 'next step.'

Tying the knot by 30 seems to be the trend these days, but there are few people who can actually afford the high cost of the average American wedding.

Why kick off your lifetime union with a massive pile of debt that will only cause stress and inevitable arguments down the line? If you're truly in love, chances are The One will still be around by the time you're both financially fit to face those bills together.

"Impulsiveness in general is typical when you're younger, whether it's impulsive decisions to buy the car, go on the vacation, or even marry the wrong person," certified financial planner Michael Egan tells us. "That's a big one actually. You need to make sure your spouse, if you're going to be sharing your life with them, has a similar stance on money to you."

Start by having these important money conversations with your partner before even getting engaged.

Everything around us is becoming connected. As a result, we are seeing shifts in investments and returns. There is already a great demand for network expansion, cyber security and insurance. And generally, the prices of hardware will fall as IoT becomes less of a novelty.

All of this opens up a huge opportunity for everyone to make and save a lot of money. We will invest $6 trillion in IoT between 2015 and 2020, which will yield $12.6 trillion ROI over the next decade. Enterprise will make up the majority of the investment dollars, followed by government and consumer.

BI Intelligence has created a slide deck exploring the most disruptive trends in IoT. To get a more detailed view of the progression, landscape and projections of the Internet of Everything, access the complete slide deck by clicking here.

• US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning people from seven majority Muslim countries — Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — from travelling to the US.
• It sparked protests around the world, and now in London.
• The US embassy in London sent out new advice on Monday, urging people with dual citizenship from those countries affected by Trump's travel ban not to apply for US Visas.

LONDON — Thousands of people in Britain's capital are taking part in an "emergency demonstration" outside the Prime Minister's home of 10 Downing Street, in order to protest against US President Donald Trump's executive order banning people from seven majority Muslim countries from travelling to the US.

The immigration attracted widespread criticism from world leaders and sparked protests across the US. And now the demonstrations are happening in London's streets.

The protest was organised via a Facebook event page titled "Emergency demo against Trump's #MuslimBan and UK complicity." As of 5:40 p.m. GMT (12:40 ET), 27,000 said they were attending the event while 33,000 said they may be going.

Some of the event information reads:

"Theresa May has decided to ally herself with Donald Trump's bigoted, misogynistic government. She has refused to speak out against Donald Trump's #MuslimBan - even when her own Members of Parliament are targeted. It is not only weak, it is a matter of national shame - disgracing our country across the world.

"There are moments of terrible injustice throughout history where we look back and rightly ask - what did people do? Future generations will look back at the targeting of Muslims - as we look back at the targeting of Jews - with disgust, horror and shame. If we do not speak out, we are complicit.

"Theresa May has betrayed her own people. That doesn't mean we have to. Let's stand in solidarity with those targeted by Donald Trump's hateful government, including the people of this country, outside Downing Street and all over Britain."

This is how the protest shaped up at the start (as filmed by Business Insider at the beginning of the demonstration):

And here is what happened down on the ground:

(This slideshow and post will be continually updated throughout the evening. Also please note that some of the language in the banners presented in the pictures may be strong).

The protest was meant to start at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. ET) but by 5 p.m. thousands had gathered outside the official residence of Prime Minister Theresa May already.

The pavements were spilling over with people on their way to the protest too.

With a net worth of over $70 billion, Warren Buffett is the second-richest person in the world, behind only his good friend Bill Gates.

But to those who knew him from the beginning, Buffett's success comes as no surprise: He was picking out stocks at 11 years old and had amassed the equivalent of $53,000 in today's dollars by the time he was 16. 

Inspired by a Quora thread asking "What are some mind-blowing facts about Warren Buffett," we rounded up 24 astonishing facts about the "Oracle from Omaha" and his massive amount of wealth.

'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill

Prompted by legendary businessman Andrew Carnegie, who turned a few nickels and dimes into a fortune, journalist Napoleon Hill researched more than 500 self-made millionaires over 20 years before releasing his 1937 best-seller "Think and Grow Rich."

He boils down the "secret" to building wealth into 13 principles and reveals "major causes of failure" that hold many of us back from getting rich.

There is no mention of "money,""wealth,""finances," or "stocks" within Hill's text. He takes a different approach, focusing on breaking down the psychological barriers that prevent many of us from attaining our own fortunes.

When "Gossip Girl" first debuted in 2007, it had 3.5 million viewers. By 2009, its raunchy ads and commercials were causing a public uproar. Parents began demanding that the show be canceled while their children were counting down the hours until it aired. 

The series became one of the most popular dramas on television and the cast members were catapulted to star status. It's been five years since the show ended in 2012 and the teen heartthrobs have been up to a lot since then. 

Here's what the cast of "Gossip Girl" is doing now: 

Blake Lively starred as blonde bombshell Serena van der Woodsen in the hit CW show.

After the first season of "Gossip Girl," she took home two Teen Choice Awards.

Since then, she's made her way back into the movie scene. Most recently, she fought off a shark in "The Shallows" and is playing a blind woman in 2017's "All I See Is You."

She's also taken time off to marry funny-guy Ryan Reynolds and take care of their two adorable daughters. 

Leighton Meester brought the sassy Blair Waldorf from the "Gossip Girl" books to life.

She took home the award for Choice TV Actress: Drama at the Teen Choice Awards twice. She just sold one of her awards on eBay for charity.

If your experience in the dating world isn't at least a little bit awkward, you're doing something wrong.

Especially in a relationship that's only a few months old, there are bound to be hurt feelings, and embarrassment, and confusion. When do you tell the person you're seeing that you'd like to be exclusive? Or that you're just not into them anymore?

There are no easy answers, and we're not pretending to have them. But for some nuanced insight, we consulted relationship expert Andrea Syrtash, author of "It's Okay to Sleep With Him on the First Date," about how to navigate some of the most uncomfortable dating scenarios.

Read on for Syrtash's top tips on dating with confidence.

SEE ALSO: Researchers say relationships fall into one of 4 patterns — here's the one you want to avoid

The awkward situation: You want to ask someone you just met on a date

What to say: "I would love to get to know you. Would you be open to going out for a drink with me?"

Before you extend the invitation, Syrtash recommended looking for a ring or any other indicators that the person is currently unavailable. But if you can't see anything, don't ask, "Are you single?" They'll let you know.

Make sure to be confident and friendly; keep your body language open; and maintain eye contact. In this situation, your delivery is just as important as your language, Syrtash said. 

Remember: Worst-case scenario, they'll decline, and you'll probably never see them again.

The awkward situation: You want to ask a good friend on a date

What to say: "I need to tell you something and I feel a bit vulnerable right now. I would love to take you on a romantic date — not a friend date — and just see what happens. Would you be up for that?"

This scenario is a bit more high-stakes than asking out a total stranger, because you don't want to jeopardize your friendship. That's why Syrtash recommends trying to suss out whether your friend might be interested in you, too.

For example, if they only invite you over to build furniture and they're always talking about their crushes, you might want to ask yourself if it's really a good idea to ask them out.

Another tactic Syrtash recommended is dropping subtle hints before inviting them on a date. Start with some gentle touching — maybe put your hand on the small of their back — and try to be a little more flirtatious. See how they respond.

The awkward situation: You're not sure who should pay on a first date

What to say: Nothing.

Syrtash advised against talking explicitly about who's going to pay. (It kind of kills the romance.)

In general, Syrtash believes that whoever initiated the date should pay. The other person should accept graciously.

Interestingly, among her clients, she's noticed that most women who date men do still expect the man to pay. If you expect the other person to pay but you're planning the date, try to pick a place that isn't so expensive so you won't feel guilty when your date foots the bill. Syrtash suggested arranging a date over happy hour drinks.

When the bill arrives, even if you expect the other person to pay, you should still offer to pay and know that your date might agree to split the cost.

And if your date does end up paying, make sure to thank them — even if you weren't feeling a romantic connection.

The 25 most expensive ZIP codes in the US are unsurprisingly concentrated on the coasts.

Real estate listings site Property Shark recently used data from all residential transactions closed in 2016 to determine which ZIP codes across the US were most expensive for buyers.

California dominated the list with 17 cities represented, including well-known places like Beverly Hills and its famous 90210 ZIP code.

New York also claimed six spots, with pricey Hamptons favorite Sagaponack coming in at No. 1.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai and cofounder Sergey Brin addressed crowds of employees rallying against President Trump's immigration ban on Monday, as about 2,000 Google staffers in offices worldwide took to the streets with signs. 

At least one hundred people outside Google's downtown San Francisco offices took to the streets on Monday afternoon, carrying signs and chanting. "You build a wall, we'll tear it down," was one such chant.

Google employees are sharing photos from this rally on Twitter, under the hashtag "#GooglersUnite." Executives like Nest CEO Marian Fawaz are visible addressing the crowds in these pictures.

It was not immediately clear if the protests were officially sanctioned or organized by Google, the world's largest internet company, or were organized by employees. One person familiar with the matter described it as a "company-supported rally by employees."

Pichai, who was born and raised in India, told the crowd assembled at Google's Silicon Valley headquarters that "the fight will continue," according to New York Times reporter Daisuke Wakabayshi, who tweeted photos from the scene:

 And Sergey Brin told the crowd that he would not have the life he does today if this "wasn't a brave country":

Google is among numerous tech companies that have decried Trump's order on immigration. Many tech companies count foreign-born workers among their rank and file employees as well as at the highest leadership levels.  

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has described the immigration ban as "un-American" while Apple CEO Tim Cook has said it is "not a policy we support."

Still, Google's criticisms come even as the company has sought to forge stronger ties with the new Republican administration. 

Here are some pictures from Monday's Googler march along the San Francisco waterfront:
