Am I the only one who finds it kind of sick that Apple is squeezing out as much PR as possible of the death of their former CEO? Let the man rest in peace.

- recuter 14y agoThe Apple website is one of the bigger ones - and yet they essentially removed all of their products from the landing page, if anything I would guess that there will be a small dip in revenue today for the online store. I disagree that this is about PR, the people running the company lost their colleague and probably genuinely miss Steve. A somewhat classy tribute. It also reminds everybody of their mission, contrast with HP for example who have lost their way.
- nicholassmith 14y agoI sure hate it when it's the anniversary of an event and people take the time to remember it. Keep in mind to many of the people at Apple Steve Jobs was the company, and to many there he was a friend. Generally people do take the opportunity to remember the people they've lost on the day they've lost them.
- SG- 14y agoYour comment would be valid if they actually did try and make money off it, but they're likely going to lose some sales. You probably are missing something if you also think he was just a former CEO, he was a bit more than that to Apple.
- mcphilip 14y agoThe only conspiracy theory here that I can dream up is that this is both a fitting tribute to Jobs and a not-so-subtle plea for consumers to associate any new iProducts in the future as ultimately coming some Jobsian level of genious.
