I didn't know about that until I was reading up on the Think Different campain on Wikipedia. The Crazy Ones commercial is one of my favorites.

The version shown is incomplete.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

That's from Think Different. And it is a cool icon.

Apple doesn't like pen? You know you can change things with a mechanical pencil.

While the Phantom is the best looking Rolls in years, you need 16 cows and wood from up to six different kid of trees to 'create' the inner Rolls atmosphere of such a car. The Liriodendron tulipifera (that's an american tree, between them. Not cool.
