Considering that Jobs single handedly saved Apple when he returned I would think he would get a bit more of an honor than a theater named after him.

#42Probably I would inevitably think this about any ring-shaped building, but it looks quite a bit like the GCHQ headquarters in Cheltenham. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Communications_Head... I guess the Apple version is somewhat more slender and (unsurprisingly for Apple?) a bit shinier.
Circular buildings have been around for a lot longer then that. The Pentagon is essentially a round building with a grassy area in the middle.

#43Naming the theater after Jobs is a really nice touch. His product introductions are among the most iconic parts of his legacy, and you could always tell just from watching that he took great pride in doing them. A fitting tribute.

What did you have in mind?

The Apple Park main building has such a large diameter that GCHQ headquarters would fit inside it. That's why it looks slender. :)

#48This is so beautiful and inspiring. A real legacy. Imagine a world without Apple computers pushing the envelope. We'd still be using wired mice and ugly black boxes. If only Steve Jobs had taken the traditional medicine route he would have been with us for another 50 years.
As much as Steve gets credit, the real credit goes to the thousands of engineers that were the ones who created the envelope of which to push, and then kept pushing that one as well. Its never one man. Its unfortunate he chose to not use proven medicine as a treatment, though.
To be fair though, without Steve, the engineers would have never thought of creating Apple and a business. It is a team effort, but let's not undermine the importance of a great leader.

I'd like nothing more than a wired Magic Trackpad. Batteries suck.
