Apple's home page at the moment comprises only a photo of Nelson Mandela
www.apple.com

Of all the photos we have seen over the last few days, this one has to be one of the very finest:

I have to say, I agree with you. Looks even better on my phone

Cant remember anyone person that has been remembered this way?
Tweets from celebs like Arnold Schwarzenegger etc, the list goes on.
 
Why do people care if Apple the company expresses such sentiment? Does it matter to you?

It would matter to me if Tim Cook expressed sympathy, since he is a human being. But Apple is not a human being - it is made of human beings. Why do we care if it posts a photo? I dont get why corporations feel the need to show how much they "care". I know its PR, but what gets me is why do people fall for the PR. This is not a dig at Apple - they are hardly alone here.

I think the opposite may be the case where if you don't dedicate something to Mandela it basically means you don't care... it's ridiculous that it is the case but that's the kind of vibe I get.

Well the last person to die of his stature was Mother Theresa who died before the time of social media
