Take the downvotes (no, I didn't) as a read of how at odds your PoV is with that of, well, however many people took the time to downvote you. I'm not a Mac fanatic, I'm not a worshipper of all things Steve, I don't use any of Apple's products on a daily basis (though I work with a bunch of people who do). And despite this, his contributions shape and influence my life every day. The WIMP interface, proportional fonts…

Thanks for explaining, but it is not to the point. I did not express any disregard for Steve Jobs, it would have been displaced. I did express concerns about the fact that during one day, HN had nothing else on the front page.

You ask to much. Maybe you can stay calm and read the 10'000th article on node.js while half of the world mourns one of the greatest visionaries of the last decades. I can't.

Two things are very interesting to me here: - This 100% Steve Jobs page was actually organically generated. - Several members of the community took screen/snapshots yesterday when they discovered the frontpage like this. Those things make me realize how like-minded can some of the members in this community be.

In every aspect, are you serious? You have to diversify your influences...

I'm pretty sure MatthewB didn't say he had only one hero.

Nor did he imagine Enrique Inglesais's "I Can Be Your Hero" being sung by Steve Jobs.

Influential role model is probably more accurate.

It's not just the HN crowd - I walked by the SF Apple Store today and the front windows were covered in post-it notes full of thoughts from passers by. I know we in the tech world followed his every little move, but it surprised me how much, well, regular people cared. I've never seen this kind of reaction for the death of any famous person who isn't a politician/community leader.

What is with the SJ worship on reddit/HN? Apple continues to make overpriced hardware (compare to T and W series thinkpads xD) which almost always sacrifices form for function. Want to put an esata/fibre/ port on your laptop? - only one MBP allows it. OS X is a toy os for people who don't want to run windows (excell/MSVS) or linux. Sure, put the iWhatever in the museum of modern art, but just about any business-clas…

Just to say: my MBP runs linux (arch) well better than any of my friend's business-class laptops.

(Also, I think you meant to say "function for form".)
