To those that think Apple is only putting up this tribute to boost sales:
remember that in the past month and a half they've introduced: iPod nano, iPods with video, new iMacs, new Powermacs, new Powerbooks & Aperture. Lot's of products that Apple would surely love to plaster across their front page and advertise the hell out of.
They took all of these out of the the main position of their webpage for an image dedicated to the memory of Rosa Parks.
I'm sorry, but if they really wanted to increase their sales and stock price, they would have just ignored Rosa Parks passing, and just kept up a rotation of the iPod and iMac in that spot.
The other point, until that memorial went up on Apple's site, I had never heard of Rosa Parks or what she had done. Now I do. I think that's pretty important.
