“While watching Apple’s stream of Tuesday’s iPhone event two nights ago, the video would periodically pan to the same shot of audience members applauding. While I normally wouldn’t have paid much attention to such things, the shot in question caught my eye because it centered on an empty seat with a black cloth draped over it, with the word ‘Reserved’ written on it,” Josh Rosenthall writes for Edible Apple.
“Though this transpired one day before Steve Jobs passed away, I was still exceedingly curious. ‘Who was this reserved seat for?’ I wondered,” Rosenthall writes. “The CEO of Nuance, maybe? Perhaps a representative from a top development company? But more importantly, I wondered who in the world would get an invite to an Apple iPhone event and not show up?”
Rosenthall writes, “Looking back, perhaps this was a quiet tribute from Apple executives to Steve Jobs, who likely knew that this would be the last Apple keynote held while Jobs was alive.”

I have a feeling that things might have been looking gloomy for Steve on the 4th. When Phil Shiller took the stage he did not seem himself. Normally he shared almost the same level of excitement as Steve. But on the 4th Phil looked like he had lost his best friend…….. In reptrospect we can all see why……………………………
Worst part is that the last things he was hearing was that people were disappointed in his new baby, iPhone 4s, because it didn’t have the larger screen they wanted.
Then where was Tim Cook to sit when he’s not presenting? On Steve’s lap?
