“Apple turns 40 today. To celebrate, the company is giving a wink to longtime fans with a cheeky nod to its past,” Luke Dormehl reports for Cult of Mac.
“A pirate flag flying outside Apple’s campus at 1 Infinite Loop is a reference to the ‘Jolly Roger’ pirate flag flown by the original Macintosh team when it was developing Apple’s (arguably) most iconic computer back in the heady days of the early ’80s,” Dormehl reports.
“Today, Apple is no longer an underdog in the same way it was decades ago,” Dormehl writes, “but it’s nice to see the company reference its past for this significant birthday.”
