Exceptional people deserve exceptional farewells. Recognized former boxer and icon world Muhammad Ali died on day 3 at the age of 74, shock to thousands of people around the world who saw how one of the great figures of all time was going forever. Public figures of all kinds have expressed their pain for the loss of Ali, especially in his country, the United States, where much fought – literally and figuratively – to be recognized.
As Apple is an American company, with great roots in the rights of all persons and the recognition by all human beings equal, they also wanted to perform its farewell special. They are not many times that we see to the Californian company cornering the homepage of your website with the image of someone relevant whose death has that occurred recently. Therefore, when cuando lo hacen what they do is really special.

The picture that heads this article is the first thing you see when you enter the English version of Apple, serving the model which we have already seen other times: full page and in black and white, although it is the first time accompanying figure a photography background, replacing the white neutral from previous occasions. Last of this examples have been Robin Williams (2014), Nelson Mandela (2013) and, of course, Steve Jobs (2011). All of them had in common, the same which will make that they are remembered for a long, long time: his way of seeing things.
