I'm sorry, but I'm italian... so I must use google translate for my articol... sorry
Hello everyone today I posted on my blog (http://icattaniweb.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/supposizione-sullicona-del-finder-guess-the-finder-icon/) an article on the origin of the icon in the Finder ... mine is a guess, but I do not know whether just or not, also because I do not know if it is a common knowledge or that nobody has noticed,,,, someone might give it a try? Thank you very much

Anyone taking the bait?

I remember when the new icon came out (though I'm fuzzy on whether it came out with the launch of System 7 or the announcement of OS X), and the buzz about it focused on whether you were supposed to think it was one face or two. I don't recall any mention of Picasso. It's the kind of thing you'd think Apple would play up. Although it was part of the Dark Period.

I always imagined it represented the friendly interface, a feature the Mac is well-known for.

I always thought it, too, but you know that Steve Jobs is not a normal man, anyones can think what he thinks... (i'm sorry for my english, but i'm italian and i don't know english very well)
