Also the mini Mac Pro is a scale model of the real machine, not a drive enclosure. The other boxes with cables are studio monitor speakers. Great pic though - way messier than one would imagine.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for the link! Silly me for not realizing it was a Mac Pro (or Power Mac) model. Makes sense now with no cables.
However, do you guys remember those hard drives that did look *almost* like a Mac Pro? I know that isn't it now, but what were those called? Can't seem to find it online.
Got to LOVE the 1st Gen iPod Shuffle sticking out back of cinema display. A month before its release. Best shuffle ever IMHO.

Apple may be a cult, but MacRumors is not its Bible.
Kudos for this brilliant statement.
At some point everyone dies & life goes on.
Same here. Thinks that was too early. Its treated like any other major rumor or news. And its not . . .
Well the main apple.com site still has a tribute up. I would say we should have kept ours at least as long.
Sure, as long as people realize that fact - that we are ignoring the negatives, that there are negatives - then I have no problem with the outpouring of good thoughts, and I in fact join in that. The qualities described in the gawker piece are not Jobs' qualities, there are every businessman's qualities in a cutthroat industry. I just hope over time that the conditions improve for foreign workers.
yes
yes today in CA is the official steve jobs day, and next week is the company memorial. All parties should have probably left the remembrance up till those events have passed.

I agree. There will be many lifetimes ahead without Steve. A couple weeks to remember him is appropriate indeed.
To celebrate Steve Jobs Day, I went to see the most amazing tribute to him in SoHo. Taken with iPhone 4S using Instagram:
P.S. The Gizmodo article lists the location as Bond Street, between Broadway & Lafayette. It's wrong. The correct location is Bond Street, between Lafayette & Bowery on the north side of the street.

To all the tribute whiners
Look, they left the memorial site up FAR longer than three days, and the man didn't resurrect himself. He didn't appear to you Marys and Marthas in the garden, and he didn't show the docking holes in his palms to you Thomases, and he didn't ascend back into Heaven from Mount Moriah or the glass stairway in the Apple store in Jerusalem.
A far from perfect man, not a single one of you knew personally, died. Let him rest in peace. The longer the accolades go on, the more dirt reporters will dig up and report.
At least there won't be any malpractice cum murder trial where the world gets to hear tapes of the REAL Steve Jobs swearing at underlings or raving to destroy competitors or shutting up complaining customers. Made on an iPhone.

144 pages and finally a post worth reading.!
The man wasn't a visionary or a genius...
he made toys.....and not very well.
let him RIP.
I still remember how my jaw dropped when I first got to play around on one of these machines when I was a kid.
If someone could have told me then that I'd be carrying one around in my pocket one day I'd never have believed it.
I think the NEXT & Apple thing is not emphasized enough. Effectively, Jobs created two companies which both did things so brilliantly, they had to end up as a single company. It's quite striking really.
One brought computers to the home, the other designed an operating system that we'll be using for decades.
NEXT may have been a financial failure on its own, but its work is behind so much Apple success now.
NeXT Step
Many underestimate or don't understand the significant impact NeXT Step had on computing in general. It's amazing how far ahead of its time it was back then, and the modern incarnations (Mac OS X & iOS) are still the most beautiful OO GUI systems ever devised.
It was clearly no accident that Jobs was at the head of two companies that have both been so influential and had such a significant impact.

Out of interest: do you cry like a baby because you didn't get Blu Ray, just like xbjilb?
