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.
Didn't Yo-Yo Ma perform a private concert at Steve Jobs' house? I think it was in the biography.
Huh, dunno. I haven't gotten around to reading the biography yet. I wouldn't be surprised; they seemed to have a mutual respect for each-other.
Just found out that he performed at the memorial service though.

#33Removing their products from the landing page to pay tribute to Steve. Would Dell or Samsung do this? Genuine question.
There's no personality cult around any CEO like there was around the Steve.

"When Jobs was ill, Yo Yo Ma came to visit, bringing his 1733 Stradivarius cello and performing a concert in the Jobs’ living room. Jobs, who had been moved to tears by the music, told him, “Your playing is the best argument I’ve ever heard for the existence of God, because I don’t really believe a human alone can do this.” He made Ma promise to play at his funeral".

#35Am 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.
The only conspiracy theory here that I can dream up is that this is both a fitting tribute to Jobs and a not-so-subtle plea for consumers to associate any new iProducts in the future as ultimately coming some Jobsian level of genious.

Because the link has been posted before, to get around the duplicate detection you append meaningless GET params.
More because http://www.apple.com/ did not opened the Tim's note, while http://www.apple.com/?hn did. It seems any random GET param is indeed meaningful in this case :)
Works for me without the GET param. Maybe it's just because you're returning to the page?

#38I bet they wish he could come back, Maps/Siri/lack of innovation on new products.

Thank you for sharing that.

Microsoft might do it if it was Bill who passed away? Don´t you think?
