Apple, Tim Cook honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Apple has replaced the regular home page on its website with a full-screen tribute to civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and CEO Tim Cook has again tweeted a quote from the man.
For today only, visitors to Apple's official website will not see the usual product promotion, as instead there is a full-page photo tribute to civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It's a continuation of an Apple tradition that now goes back several years.
"I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits." Let us all be so audacious, and work to make MLK's dream a reality for us all.

Tim Cook's tweet quotes from Dr King Jr.'s speech when he received the Nobel Peace Prize in December 1964.
As well as honoring him on the official homepage, as it did last year, Apple famously also included Dr King Jr in its "Think Different" ad campaign from the late 1990s.

I'd like to see Apple comes up with new "Think Different" kind of campaign again.
I appreciate Apple paying homage to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would expect nothing less from them in doing so. Everything is not about marketing and money. Sometimes you do what you feel is right despite others points of view.
USB-C affects us all! C'mon Apple can't we have that? :'(
