Anyone else seen the apple homepage?

Not only that, but the Google homepage too (in fact all of them, .com, .co.uk, .fr, .jp...).

The 3 Apples that changed the world: the one that Eve ate, the one that fell on Newton's head, the one that Steve built.

Nice quote, I'm suprised more sites have not added tributes, maybe like Pixar.

What a lot of horseshit, All the false sympathy for him is a joke. Sure, he sold some nice shiny stuff, but apple will continue to sell nice shiny stuff. I feel sorry for his family and friends that actually knew him personally, but I feel nothing but contempt for all you nice shiny stuff owners who are faking grief over the shiny stuff man dying.

It doesn't really matter to me - because I didn't know him - which is why I didn't post earlier - but I can recognise what his achievements have been and many of those predate "the shiny stuff". Nobody in this thread has appeared to be "faking grief" so look again.

Did you post that from your iphone?

I know you're a maverick, but that's quite an insulting post. If all you know about Jobs is his "shiny stuff" then you don't know much about him at all.

A touching tribute RIP Steve

I know you're a maverick

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult

I didn't mean to be insulting or offensive to anyone, it just seemed to me to be a Princess Dianaesque outpouring of grief with a stateside flavour.

Not meant as an insult. If it were, I'd be insulting myself as well because I'm one also

You'll know when I insult you. This is degenerating because now you're touching on another raw nerve. I happen to be a Royalist, and although you probably disagree with my beliefs, I reserve the right to hold them, as do you yours.
