Yep, just look at the Ali thread on PRSI. No one cared, it only had 15 responses. Apple puts him on the front page, Macrumors starts a thread in the news discussion and bam, 4 pages of replies already.Apple never fails to do things that draw attention. If not for their masterful marketing system they'd have substantially less cash.
He was a good fighter and from a different era. He did hold some views on race that, had he been white, would never have been tolerated.
In fact, that's precisely what happened with Hulk Hogan, and their views are quite similar.
Thank you. I'm sick of foreigners giving their opinion about our politics. If you dont know what its like to live here, keep your opinions to yourself.I'm a Canadian, I couldn't care less what happens in your country, politically.
Apple, glad you updated your site. Please next time don't let this much time go by before you pay respect. We respect "the crazy ones" with zero resistance.
Why apologize? We dont want Canadians or anyone else caring about or giving us input on our politics. I dont care about Canadian politics. You can vote for any twerp you like.

Yes we should have left them to their own devices. We all know what wonderful places Muslim countries are to live.Well, at least that's the most of your worries. I wonder what Iraqis thought about not Americans opinions, but their illegal invasion of their country and turning it into what it is today: ISIS.
Hmmm! Pot, kettle!

Does a spaceship count?Half-staff, unless Apple has a ship by then.
I came into this post to see how long it would take for this comment. Third post, you gotta be a little faster next time.Now I'm too young to remiss about his career from memory, but going by what he accomplished and how he shaped popular culture even beyond his active career all that's left for me to say is that he surely is a great loss to many.
I hope he finds his peace.

This post is really stupid.Thanks Apple, now please fix itunes, ios, elcapitan, iphone with decent battery life and put decent dedicated gpus back in macs from the last century.
I'm not racist, but...Obviously they care more about other things theses days. Being green, ending racism, ending homophobia and being politically correct and so on. Don't get me wrong, I'm none of the above but come on work on what you sell!
Your point being?I came into this post to see how long it would take for this comment. Third post, you gotta be a little faster next time.

Yes in fact he did.Tim Cook tweeted about Prince?!
That's hot.Regardless of what people think of the man, he was one of a handful of extremely prominent 1960s icons. We aren't getting anymore, so when they go, they are all gone forever. To another's point, yeah, when Kim K is the most recognizable person of an entire generation, something went wrong with society. Horribly wrong. I've never seen one contribute so little but yet reap so much. Literally, I don't know of anyone else. She puts Paris Hilton to shame.
It was less than 24 hours.
He passed late Friday night, and by Saturday evening it was up.
So people at Apple worked late Friday night and Saturday morning but it wasn't fast enough for you... right.
Now, your neighbor to the south, the one that IS the world power, is about to elect a mad man and you don't care?
Lol.No. I didn't think it was fast enough. Did you read not what I wrote?
And when did working Saturday's become such a big deal? You wanna do something great and work 35-40 hours and get weekends off? I'm not going to argue with you. You can be okay with 24 hours. In the past, it wasn't like this. Apple/apple.com was the first and leader to pay respect.
Mmmmmm, no. Not even close. But nice try.
(I like how I'm a "macrumors newbie" when I've been a member for nearly 14 years, by the way.)
(EDIT: Yes, I KNOW it's based on how much you've posted.)
Ali was a very good boxer. I am old enough to have watch the Frazier v Ali fight (btw - Cubans love boxing and baseball and are the best in both). I rooted for Frazier. But Ali was very good. He was completely full of himself and always reminded you of how great he was. Not sure how this is connected to Apple.
RIP
Lol.
Good thing your wants means jack squat. Man, seriously, what gives you the right to be so entitled? Why would Apple owe you a remembrance of Ali on its homepage in less than 24 hours or you get to act so offended.
This is probably not the right forum to ask this sort of thing, but why is Muhammad Ali so revered? (And haters, racists, trolls need not reply; this is a serious inquisitive question for the well read.)Regardless of what people think of the man, he was one of a handful of extremely prominent 1960s icons. We aren't getting anymore, so when they go, they are all gone forever.
