Apple Says Steve Jobs Dies

I was at Cherry Creek Mall a few days ago and had to take a picture of this as I was walking by the Apple Store: a collection of sticky notes that covers the front of the store.


Did you know that there's a Facebook event: today is Steve Jobs Day. The pictures and comments from around the world are pretty cool.

The story behind that silhouette Apple logo

Hong Kong student's Apple tribute is Internet hit
AFPAFP – Fri, Oct 7, 2011

A Hong Kong design student said on Friday he was overwhelmed and felt "unreal" after his sombre logo in tribute to Apple founder Steve Jobs caused a worldwide Internet sensation. The design, featuring Jobs's silhouette incorporated into the bite of a white Apple logo on a black background, has gone viral on the Internet since news of his death.

"I feel so unreal," Jonathan Mak, a second year graphic design student at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, told AFP, after he was inundated with tens of thousands of emails and messages on his Twitter account. "You don't get to 180 thousands notes without feeling slightly insane," the 19-year-old posted on another microblogging site Tumblr Friday, referring to the messages he has received.

Mak said he first came up with the design after Jobs announced his resignation in late August, but the logo received little attention at the time. The teenager said the Apple founder had inspired him in his design. "He was a minimalist, which is the way I would like to emphasise in my design -- fewer elements but a powerful message."

A very detailed chronology of his life

Totally random but I just found this and had to laugh out loud! So was he being a cheat, and didn't think the rules applied to him, or was he just taking advantage of what his wealth afforded him, didn't technically break the law so it's all okay, and did the leasing company a great service? It's one of those gray areas, since he didn't break the law, but was it right? Do we give him a pass because of what he accomplished? If he did this with his car's licensing requirements, what did he do in regards to taxes??? The comments in the stories are more fun than the actual story itself.

The truth about Steve Jobs' number plate
By David Heath
Wednesday, 26 October 2011

It turns out that Steve quite liked the idea of being different (recall the "think different" slogan so regularly used by Apple) and discovered a perfectly legal way to permanently drive without a number plate. Steve (or someone close to him) spotted a loophole in the California vehicle laws. Anyone with a brand new car had a maximum of six months to affix the issued number plate to the vehicle.

So Jobs made an arrangement with the leasing company; he would always change cars during the sixth month of the lease, exchanging one silver Mercedes SL55 AMG for another identical one. At no time would he ever be in a car as old as six months; and thus there was no legal requirement to have the number plates fitted.
