#2Very respectable that apple would change their whole homepage to pay tribute to someone they care deeply about passing away. Image how much money they are losing by not promoting their new products such as the iPad.

#3Few corporations would have the guts to do the same. They are essentially trading money to pay homage to a member of the team. For this, they deserve a lot of respect.

I doubt they are losing that much money. I'm not at all trying to detract from the sadness of such a loss, but there are links on the top that people can use, not to mention direct links from search engines taking them directly to where they need to go.

#6This is incredible. The last time I remember them doing something like this was during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
Oh, and in 2005: Rosa Parks. http://theappleblog.com/2005/10/26/think-different-rosa-park...

Don't doubt it, they are losing a significant portion of revenue-generating space on a commercial website in order to pay tribute to a fallen friend.

I imagine that they'll get a good amount of press out of this, which will (somewhat) negate their monetary losses here. That said, it's pretty obvious that this is a heartfelt message from the company, props to them for doing what most other companies rarely do and honoring the passing of an influential team member.
