Revisiting The Crazy Ones

Once upon a time, Apple had a poem on their website called Here’s to the Crazy Ones — in short, a salute to those who look at things differently, as Apple always professed to do.

The poem was taken down sometime in 2004, much to my deep sadness. {tongue} I thought that Apple had lost the dream, forgotten where they came from.

One of the nice parts about the new version of Mac OS X, Leopard, however, is that all icons are incredibly high-resolution — 512x512. On a whim, I thought I’d take a look at the full resolution icon for TextEdit, their default text editor. Imagine my surprise when I saw this.

TextEdit icon with poem.

Well waddaya’ know.
