That's enough to make me puke. Shareholders should boot his butt out of the boardroom.
And yes, I am serious.

No you are not. Give it a break. (See Peace's comment above.)
On topic: The keynote team must be estatic too!!!
The "Nobel Peace Prize" itself has just made a "politcal statement"...
"Bursting?"
I felt like putting this page and AT&T Wireless' homepage next to it and "spewing" on it...
I think it's fantastic that he is on the home page. It brings him and the prize and the global warming issue into the forefront of many people's minds (again) just by what apple does best - advertising. and it's for good, not evil 
The whole nature of the award and the recipient is completely political. If only-buttkissing responses are allowed on this thread, I propose they move the whole thing into the political forum.
I posted this when this was part of the Leopard topic, fyi. So it had to do with the topic then, but not when this is in it's own topic.
Yes- it's really weird of Apple to announce that one of their employees has won the fricking Nobel Peace Prize.
Apple- please be more modest in future. Next time someone in your company gets a Nobel Prize- you can just mention it in 8 point font at the bottom of some technical document. You don't have to brag about it.

its political cause thats what it is
Youd have to be ignorant to say otherwise, so face the fire since you posted it. This guy has already won almost every award...An emmy, An oscar...its pathetic...ya he might be a smart guy but i think its hideous for him to have won an emmy and oscar...give the awards to those hard working people who are in the industry who slave 16 hour days. Ya sure he deserves an award for inventing the internet and for his acting role as spok on star trek (lol) how many awards can you give a guy...its boring...we dont care...and why post it on the front page of apple? whats next? they're gonna tell us hes an alien from the planet volcon?

Awesome! Iam very happy for AL! His contributions have moved many people and changed many peoples' lives for the better, including mine. Thanks for all your hardwork and dedication Mr. Gore!
Arn, Can you please move Steve's post
Arn,
I don't know how much pull you have over there at Apple, but in keeping with your warning on purely political posts, could you please move SteveJ's post off the main site into the "Fantasy Games" section of Apple's site?
In all seriousness, Kudo's to Al for busting his hump and throwing himself into his life's passion. Is it Nobel worthy? I am afraid it is. Considering that Carter and Arafat are also winners, I see no problem lumping Al in with them.
Peace,
Buffsldr

Is it just me, or does the site not look like a typical Apple homepage? Yes, I've seen them do non-product related things before- that is not what I'm talking about. Maybe the font is off or something, but it looks like it was cheaply done.
You realize how redundant this is?
Peace is a political process in general (and remember, war is a political process conducted through other means). So, any award involving "peace" is INHERENTLY political. There ain't no way around it.
What you mean is that "the Nobel Peace Prize made a political statement
I didn't like."
Not to mention Henry Kissinger...
"We are bursting with pride"?
Gore is on the Aplle board of Directors. He is one of Steve's bosses

Interesting file structure. The background is transparent. When you open it in Preview it has a grey background.

"Do as I say not as I do"
I have heard "from someone who has been in Al's home".... that he has a huge wine cellar (how does that get cooled?) and drives an SUV.
