Today would have been Steve Jobs' 57th birthday, and a number of Apple fans are taking the opportunity to commemorate his life and legacy, with the topic currently appearing on Twitter's list of top trending topics worldwide.

Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

A pair of Apple fans in New York City are planning a party in Jobs' honor at outside Apple's flagship Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan.
To fete what would have been Jobs' 57th birthday, dancers will gyrate to Bob Dylan songs while vegetarian birthday cake is served and black turtlenecks are handed out to hundreds of Apple fans, according to the event's organizers, Brendan McElroy and Seth Rogers. [...]

"If you want to respect his memory, the best way of doing it is focusing on a lot of the positive memories we have of him," [Rogers] said.

The party is planned to take place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM today, and CNBC earlier today aired an interview with the two organizers about their plans.

Happy Birthday Steve Jobs and MacRumors!

Steve your contributions to IT and the World will be felt for decades to come. Thank you for making my life better and for helping me start my business!
 
by vegetarian are they meaning no dairy/animal by products? in that case they might want to use the term vegan

otherwise I don't see why they would say vegetarian at all, most birthday cake is made with no meat
 
Happy Birthday Steve, thanks for all my wonderful itoys, will miss you at the keynotes.
 
Vegetarian birthday cake? I'll pass. But the idea for this event is pretty cool. I hope those of you who are able to make it have a good time.

According to the Steve Jobs biography, the vegan cake at the Jobs wedding was not popular with the guests.
 
Just finished reading the book of Steve Jobs. Everyone should read it, it's just amazing. Eating all his life healthy food and dying so young. It ain't fair.
Congrats to Macrumors too. Already for 8 years i come here 3 times a day.
