John Brownlee tells the story of "a photograph of Steve Jobs so incredible, so deserved of being considered iconic, that you simply can’t believe that no one has ever even heard of it."

    Odd composition. Rosetta Stone…?

      Yeah, ‘sitting in front of the Rosetta Stone’, as if the one in the British Museum was merely a replica. California.

        Dude, the Rosetta Stone was the first tablet computer. Think about it.

        (Because a tablet computer should weigh a ton and a half? Should be erected by regal decree?)

          Sure beats Siri.  Doesn’t have to refer to a massive online database.  And you can actually feel the characters.  Way, way ahead of its time.

        As the guy who actually wrote the article, I can tell you that it’s made abundantly clear that it’s a replica.
