ICloud has been released for a few weeks now, and besides a few teething issues when it launched (and many MobileMe accounts were migrated across), for the most part, it's been fantastic so far. The next step is for Apple to start expanding on their success and start building some new things, whether those things be in the form of new web apps or new services, and to that end, they've started looking for senior level execs so they can get started.
If you look at it from the right angle, and have something of a good imagination, you can see the command symbol as a stylised castle. The command key was originally used in Swedish campgrounds to denote an interesting sightseeing destination, and now it's universally recognised as synonymous with the Mac. These facts (and many more) have been revealed in the sketchbook of Susan Kare, an artist who designed icons for computing as we know it.
The US Patent Office has setup a small exhibition as a tribute to Steve Jobs. It's a display of sorts, with huge LCDs showing off 317 patents registered in his name — and the best part is the iPhone-like stands that the LCDs are housed in. It's pretty amazing.
