The fact that people are putting bunches of flowers outside RETAIL STORES strikes me as a kind of social disconnect to the reality of the situation. He was not a relative, and although many will say he is instrumental to their way of living, that is only on the surface. Agreed.
I Just walked down Fifth Ave. and there was a mass of people laying flowers in front of the Apple retail store, and taking pictures of other people laying those flowers. I like my mac too, people, but isn't a simple R.I.P. enough for someone who basically just sold you things? I respected the guy's ideas and agree that he was a brilliant merchandiser, but Holy CRAP!!! Spend the money on a donation to a hospital or something if you feel that overwhelmed.
