Apple never fails to do things that draw attention. If not for their masterful marketing system they'd have substantially less cash.

As was often said about a now defamed cyclist
"His greatest talent has been his knack for granting his admirers permission to think highly of themselves for thinking highly of him.”
Okay - a dystopian view of the future... at least M.A. has a real accomplishment. Fame ain't what it used to be.
I hope this isn't the future.

I see Apple hasn't released a new product line in 11 years
Accidental overdose of prescription painkillers. You would not understand unless you have suffered from chronic pain.
You should take your own advise. You spout nothing but clueless liberal opinions.

Keep up the great replies. Clearly the insults towards you prove you've hurt their opinions.
New for Fall 2034: the iShip. Lasts half a day on a full charge before slowly sinking... ;-)
Why not share some examples of his bullying outside of the ring? I've never heard any examples but I'm sure you share opinions with many that are based on actual facts and events.

I think Apple declines to pay tribute to any artist that actively removes heir music from all Apple services. Not saying I agree with that but I can understand Apple's silence on that one.
Hmmm, didn't TC just tweet, "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
Of course not. Not his type.
But one wonders what the criteria is for a homepage promo.
Please don't tell us it was all part of the show - Ali had influence and his tasteless diatribe was mimicked by many -

I hope the people that help develop a cure for cancer or bring civil rights to the public or invent the next great cell phone accessory never say anything insensitive to anyone. They wouldn't get any credit from you I suppose. One harsh word wipes out a lifetime of achievement.
Good, no one was asking you to be a fan, don't belittle someone who has accomplished FAR more than you...
Guessing self-absorbed, spoon-fed Millennial?
Closed-minded and utter foolish and ignorant of the world, you're an embarrassment not just to Canada, but to Humanity...
You forgot to put in your LOLz too...
Actually, people here have been saying MUCH more than you have...
Guessing your nasty deodorant you're smelling off yourself...
You could learn a few things about sarcasm, you don't do it well...
I'm Canadian, born and raised, and you sir, are an embarrassment. Maybe Donald might do us all a favour and just build a wall around your house?
I hope you're not talking about Lance Liestrong?

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment, thanks.
I'm not talking about some gold medal winning bicyclist but I'm glad you tried to change the topic by pretending to not understand the point. Right now every single person responsible for something great is also guilty of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and hurting someone's feelings. I guess
Your job is easy when it is to pass judgement on something everyone does including you.
I'm not sure Apple knows who the real Ali really was! Most don't - here's a sample LOL
"All Jews and gentiles are devils....Blacks are no devils." —Muhammad Ali
"Integration is wrong. We don't want to live with the white man." —Muhammad Ali
"A black man should be killed if he's messing with a white woman." —Muhammad Ali
“Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat.” —Muhammad Ali
“So who were those little faggots?" —Muhammad Ali, after meeting The Beatles

Except I'm not a liberal. Get a clue.
I don't have have to praise white people and love Trump to be a conservative.
Do you even?
Insults would've been removed, so no, no insults. Reading comprehension helps. By the way, what facts did he post?
I'll wait.
Again, you have to read these things. That article if full of exactly what others are talking about. It was all a show, one that boxers and wrestlers do to this day. Even whites and hispanics. That article have more evidence that refutes your lazy claim than supports even the tinniest modicum of it.
You're entitled to your opinions, but please try at the very least to be stewards of a half intelligent point of view.

What does being a Trump supporter have anything to do with this?
If you ask me...this tribute is all about Apple trying to be cool with the "sports" crowd again. Need to sell more iPhones to the "Red Sox lost my life is over" crowd. Remember all the awkward sports references from all the speakers at the last WWDC (I think that was the event)? What I don't understand is they give this guy and Robin Williams a tribute....but Leonard Nimoy got squat!
Dennis Ritchie is MY heavyweight champion. IT pro here.
