I'm totally impressed.
Interesting little tidbit: note that the people who put up the this amazing tribute worked off a instruction sheet that was posted on the wall when this was being put up. You can see it clearly in the YouTube video.

I've seen that picture before (talking about 1 person dies 100 million cry and stuff) and the connotation is a bit off. Especially when the poster wouldn't have an idea on how many did cry.
Still, it's not about numbers. It's never ever, in life, been about numbers. It's about who you personally know. When something awful happens to a lot of people, if their attention is either brought to it, or it has a personal connection; a lot of people feel sad about it, keep it in mind, and cope. We had a 911, you know. It wasn't a million, but it was over 3000. A lot of people really felt that blow. The Rwanda incident probably also would've had more people crying foul if the media gave it more attention, as well.
Paying a bit of tribute to a person who may be a historical figure, whose business savvy, caused quite a stir in society isn't crying either. Just giving some props. And of course, famous folk will get props, particularly if in life they affected a number of people in such a way they can put a face to it. We all have our geniuses, of the past, who helped bring certain advances to society. Many, still have tribute paid to them.
Don't know why they wanted to wait until Steve Jobs to post such a picture when they could've done so for countless big name folks before him, for which people pay a similar tribute to. I dare the folks who first put that poster together to look at themselves and wonder why they cry more when a close relative dies than when 1 million folks, across the sea, do. I dare them to say they didn't. Having the feeling of knowing someone a bit, does count for something. This is simply human nature.
(And take note, this was directed more at the DJWillie message. Not the post-it pics, which is a pretty dedicated job, if I say so myself)

I'm just wondering how so many people posting on various tribute threads know what Jobs would think about anything. Unless they were a close friend of Jobs, it seems to me that folks should express THEIR opinions and not tell us what someone else thinks - especially if they do not know that someone personally.
Just saying...
I just came here to say I agree with you. It's kind of annoying to see all these people talk about jobs as if they knew him personally.
Can someone please tell me where that music is from? I know that it's from some Apple commercial or demo video - I totally recognize the melody. But it's remixed and I don't remember what product/event it's from!
Someone help or it's gonna bug me all day!

FULL CIRCLE
When Jobs and Woz invited the Apple, images where by text or blocks and imagination.
Here is an image that will correctly show if done on an Apple ][.
The circle is now complete.

That is so cool. I hope they provide ladder access to people wanting to write on the higher-ups. Extra nice touch on an already awesome tribute.
Things like that blow my mind...
How do you do that? How do you make a image like that, so much larger than yourself?
Do you have to keep running back 30 feet and looking at it?
1500 stickies in - "Oh ball! Steve's nose is crooked!"
I mean...damn...
In the video, you can see they had a reference image in the same colours. They probably counted the "pixels" in the reference image and replicated them with stickies of the same colour.
Actually they did, but everyone wrote with a thin pen so that it didn't affect the image. My fiancée and I were walking past and were asked if we wanted to partake - seems almost every post it wast placed by someone else, which is a nice way of taking part to such a tribute.
What my English teacher would say:
'They used 4001 post-it notes instead of 4000 to symbolize that Steve Jobs would always strive to push the technology in his creations just a bit farther than everyone else did in theirs.'

to the tune of "If I die young" by Perry Band:
If I die young
Rebuild me out of post-its
Please don't be too wasteful
Only use 3 colors
On the plus side, post-its are flammable.

Awesome - nah....
I once did something similar for Bill Gates, using 10,002 individual pieces of used toilet paper. Did not need anything to make them adhere to the outside of the PC World store either.
