That will happen right after the tribute to Xerox PARC goes up, thanking them for all of their hard work and ideas that Steve Jobs and co. stole without credit or reimbursement.

He didn't win it for narrating a movie!
He didn't just narrate a movie, he has made sure to put a very important cause on the agenda. Before you bash it any more, at least read WHY he was awarded it: http://nobelpeaceprize.org/eng_lau_announce2007.html and you'll see it's not for narrating a movie.
Plus, it's not like Al Gore won the award alone, it's divided between him and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Agreed. Let's alienate all the customers who don't care about the environment
Again, it not GORE THE DEMOCRAT who won the award, but GORE THE ENVIRONMENTALIST!!!
See the difference??!
I think that its an absolute insult that he won. It goes to prove what money can buy you.
America is one of the most polluting countries in the world. They are also responsible for causing pollution in other countries by utilising cheap manufacturing processes. Hey, why pollute 'our' country when we can get others to pollute theirs.
What on earth has he done to repair this damage!

I can't be bothered reading 20 pages of comments, so apologies if it's already been said but....
Congrats to Al Gore. Perhaps things would be different if he'd won years back and the shape of things in this future wouldn't be so precarious or focused on winning some pointless war. But then, if he'd won, he wouldn't have had the time to make such an impact with Inconvenient Truth. Has anyone invented a machine to cross into alternate realities and view the world without Bush yet ?
From the UK, sick of living in Bush's back pocket. Cheers Blair

The name of the file is gorepeaceprize_hero4. How interesting. Apple thinks he is a HERO. All I see in this picture is a wannabe scientist.
Please explain: how did money buy him this award?
What he has done to repair the damage?
Uhm let me think.... used his powers to really put global warming on the agenda together with the IPCC?
Or as the Nobel committee puts it:
" Al Gore has for a long time been one of the worlds leading environmentalist politicians. He became aware at an early stage of the climatic challenges the world is facing. His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
Haha! True, and actually, I'm thinking "hero" means (when Apple uses it) the "main" picture for what's being presented. Ok, back to Gore and "global warming".
If Apple were to get out of religion and into computers, they'd do a lot better.
I'm so happy for Al Gore! He worked so hard for the last 30 year on educating us about the environment that he deserves it more than anyone.
AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT!
