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.

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.

"I've never seen this kind of reaction for the death of any famous person who isn't a [...] community leader." < Fact is, he was :) ..at least sort of..

I found out while playing Doodle or Die. All of a sudden a lot of the drawings were apple based. At first I thought it was trolling, and then I opened another tab to check google news...

My MacBook Air broke on Wednesday night, so I brought it in to the Apple Store in Providence. A few people had left flowers at the doorstep. Inside, however, it was business as usual.

Communities gather around like-minded people and like-minded people creates communities of shared interests.

Like-minded indeed.

I remember at about 6:05PM there seemed to be a few threads about it, but when my eyes caught the first title...instant grief.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I rushed to take one myself (forgive the blatant join) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/140966/hn_jobs.png

What's a blatant join?

I mean you can tell where I joined 2 separate screenshots together as there is a sudden change in the size of the gap between posts at one point.

I don't actually see it. But, you might want to check out the Awesome Screenshot add-in for Firefox and Chrome. It lets you capture the whole page, as well as crop, annotate and blur.

That's scary, I did my own screenshot to whine about it on Facebook. I didn't realise that so many other people had done pretty much the same thing.
