Ha, exactly. Remember when you couldn't do these kind of things with browsers?

Yeah, I'd have to actually view source to snag images ...

The title conjures images of a person breaking a macbook as a symbol of breaking up with Apple now that Steve is gone. Instead it is a truly beautiful tribute. Something like "Steve remembered in macbook pieces" would seem like a fitting title.

I think seeing "b3ta.com" next to the link kept me from expecting anything nearly that serious.

I'm pretty sure I saw this as a work in progress on reddit. They took a large printout of Jobs and pasted the components of it on to build the initial frame...

Was expecting to see recreation of the fax machine scene from Office Space with a macbook.

Browsers usually offer View Source in one of the menus. But now thinking about it, you were probably joking... :-)
