In the current TIME that features Steve Jobs, there is an image. I found it on the Time App at least. There is a picture of Steve Jobs in his home office in 2004. I love this image. It is much messier than you one would think. He has a monstrous (obviously 30 inch) Apple Cinema Display, with an iSight on top. There are some external drives, the one in particular that is made to look like a tiny Mac Pro. You see a video and still camera there too.

Wow. What a great imagine. I wish we had more of Steve's home office.

I bet it might have changed some in the later years.

This was already reported by MacRumors.

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.

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.

doesn't anyone think its odd that a site so dedicated to the mac would take down steves memorial so soon? they took it down a couple days ago. i was confused when i came to mac rumors and didn't see it.

sort of rubs me the wrong way. like it was just another clickable item.

Yeah. I thought the same thing. :(

Same here. Thinks that was too early. Its treated like any other major rumor or news. And its not . . .
 
macrumors disgusts me with taking down the steve memorial so soon. sickening and shameful act from the site admins
 
Nothing to see there--we already know Jobs was a successful business man of a major corporation. That sort of success necessitates some unsavory components.

...

We're celebrating the positive and ignoring the negative. That's what you do when someone dies.

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

Well the main apple.com site still has a tribute up. I would say we should have kept ours at least as long.

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.

That would make for a pretty cool lock screen
 
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.

Then you don't read very well. There have been plenty of detractors in the topic as well.
 
Steve Jobs at the NeXT launch

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.

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.
