This was the first time I have seen the entire front page consisting of articles on one topic. The snapshot is from 11pm PDT, and it is from a site that archives the Hacker News front page.

I was shocked last night when I counted 27 articles about Steve Jobs and three about other stuff.

Thank you for shareing. I'd feared that I wouldn't get to save that moment.

For a while it was 30/30, and about 55 or 56 out of the 60 in the top two pages.

Here is a PDF that I captured at 11:34pm EST, that also has 30/30 articles on Steve Jobs. I was going to post a link to this, until I found the snapshot.
