That video is underwhelming to say the least, I expected to be able to click through and navigate each product and learn about data like number of units sold, what the impact was etc…

And in general expected more too

This is the link to the video for future reference when the homepage changes back (assuming the url to the video may stay)

If there is one company I'd say that has made a significant (positive) difference in my life, I'd say it is Apple.

Amusingly, 15 min ago, the animation did not work on my MacOS Safari (Sequoia), but it was visible on Chrome. Now (1600 UTC-4), it is animated on Safari.

All the roads around the Apple Spaceship were closed yesterday, and I was surprised I didn't see any news about announcements. Apparently they just closed the roads for their 50th birthday party?

I see people mentioning an animation? I see only a large apple logo and some words. What else are people seeing?

(Firefox on Mac OS. Also Safari on Mac OS)

This webpage performs shockingly bad on my phone for a (basically) empty page with a video.

I guess it's like their phones. Got too old, slow 'er down.

No acknowledgment of the Apple ][ ಠ_ಠ

It's a nice animation, but for such a significant anniversary - and from a company like Apple - I expected a lot more hoopla and content. This could indicate that there wasn't a lot of planning involved, that it wasn't a high-priority item, or that Apple had enough people with time to focus on it.

It's almost as if someone near the end of a meeting said "Oh crud, we've got to do something to acknowledge our 50th anniversary - can someone put something together, and quick?"

I'd like to congratulate the company on the excellent products and services they've provided and the security they offer.
