The Internet mourns Steve Jobs

Eternal Flame from xkcd

Like the rest of the Internet we are saddened by the death of Steve Jobs and our hearts go out to the people of Apple and all those who knew Steve. We know all too well the pain of losing a leader too soon.

The Internet in mourning is a strange and beautiful thing, from homepage homages (Wired, BoingBoing, Panic) to great infographics to touching remembrances.

But, I really like the xkcd comic at the top of this post, especially the title text “There's always the hope that if you sit and watch for long enough, the beachball will vanish and the thing it interrupted will return.”

And then there’s this. Which is not an homage, but a commercial from my favorite Apple campaign. I still have one of the print ads that featured Bob Dylan from this campaign pinned above my desk at home.
