Simple but strong ideas are the best... this simple idea by a design student in Hong Kong was used around the world as a poignant symbol for Steve Job's sad departure. A fitting tribute to a great visionary!
“‘Originally, I was going to put a black modified logo against a white background,’ said the bespectacled Mak who paid tribute to Jobs at Hong Kong’s Apple store” Pomfret and Tang report. “‘It just didn’t feel somber enough. I just wanted it to be a very quiet commemoration. It’s just this quiet realization that Apple is now missing a piece. It’s just kind of implying his absence.’
For those who can't get enough of the Apple products, maybe this funky storage solution would be a good addition to sit beside your computer. Available in 2 sizes, don't they look just yum!? :)

If you are lucky enough to live in the states you'd have the ability to clip songs from your music library and make customised ringtones for your iPhone, sadly this function is lacking in the UK at present. However, there is a way round it and I'm pleased to say it works very well, a little fiddly but persevere and you'll love the results!
