How different will this be from the Kim Jun Il tribute?
Very different. North Korea actually has nuclear weapons for use in their random "thermonuclear wars".

It says at the top that you need to allow VLC play to play the video...
I actually have it installed. But it couldn't load the video anyway.
More critically, there was no gracious fallback. All I get is a completely broken page with absolutely no outgoing links or any textual content!

#24Am I the only one who finds it kind of sick that Apple is squeezing out as much PR as possible of the death of their former CEO? Let the man rest in peace.
I sure hate it when it's the anniversary of an event and people take the time to remember it.
Keep in mind to many of the people at Apple Steve Jobs was the company, and to many there he was a friend. Generally people do take the opportunity to remember the people they've lost on the day they've lost them.

Your comment would be valid if they actually did try and make money off it, but they're likely going to lose some sales. You probably are missing something if you also think he was just a former CEO, he was a bit more than that to Apple.

#26Removing their products from the landing page to pay tribute to Steve. Would Dell or Samsung do this? Genuine question.
I might argue that this makes as much financial sense as it does compassionate sense. Reminding everybody about Steve Jobs being the "heart of the company" every so often is probably very good for Apple's business.

Yes; it's Bach's Cello Suite #1. You've probably also heard it in Master and Commander, where it was performed by Yo-yo Ma. It's one of my favorite pieces of string music.

Is it my imagination or did they leave the last note off of this recording?

Didn't Yo-Yo Ma perform a private concert at Steve Jobs' house? I think it was in the biography.

Odd, it's not a Linux-wide problem. I'm running a variant of Arch with Chrome 21, worked fine for me.
