Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus. I literally purchased my first Apple product a couple of months ago with great skepticism; I am a frequent critic of iTunes, and Apple products in general. I always viewed Steve Jobs as someone who I admired for his success and vision, but no more than any other notable figure in the field. But I feel a poignant melancholy at the news... when I saw someone's comment pointing out that the filename for the image on Apple.com was "t_hero.png", I found myself almost moved to tears.

Perhaps you really do never understand the gravity of losing something until you lose it.

As much as I love what you said, I hate to break it to you that t_hero.png is actually named due to the fact it's the "Hero" graphic. This just refers to the fact that it's the main splash image of the page.[1]

You can see the hero image which was in use before the announcement of Steve's passing here[2] — look at the filename.

Yeah, I read it in another comment thread shortly after making this one.

(In the industry, we call this "the art of self-trolling".)

I give you a sincere tip of my nerdhat for pursuit of accuracy even when it's kinda awkward.
