We have official confirmation that the denizens at Apple consider St. Steve of Jobs a true hero.
A look at this Apple hosted picture reveals that the filename for a photo of Jobs is hero20100607.jpg. We don't know who heroes one through 20100606 are but they're probably all The Turtlenecked One too.
It's long been thought that Jobs has widely been regarded a hero by many, but this Apple photo is our first irrefutable evidence. We recently strolled into a campsite at Cupertino where a group of bearded and turtlenecked ones were passing around an iGuitar, gently strumming twists on modern classics.
I will be king
And I will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for every day
It's thought that Steve Jobs was also the inspiration for other modern heroes. We unearthed an ancient Jobsian text that reads:
Captain Apple, he's our hero,
Gonna take Microsoft down to zero,
Gonna help him put us under,
Bad guys who like to loot and plunder
[Ballmer, shouting] "You'll pay for this Captain Apple!"
(chanting)We're the Appleteers,You can be one too!
Cause buying our iPads is the thing to do,
Looting and polluting is not the way,
Hear what Captain Apple has to say:
"THE POWER IS YOURS!!"
Thanks to @FranticNews for the image tip.
The browser this shot was taken from is Google Chrome running on Windows. These fine organizations are bigger and have ethical baggage of their own. Unreported here. For the record, I have a similar set up. Minus the willful ignorance.
I don't own Apple products. I'm not a fan boy. But I much prefer positive enthusiasm for technology and shiny objects than jealous hacks.
But please, don't correct this story. You clearly want and need the pageviews.
