Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

What would life have been like without Apple? While no company is perfect I know that Apple products have made my life better than it would have been without them! Thanks and Happy Birthday!

No doubt, the iPod will be the product of the decade when 2010 comes. With the progress that Apple has made on the iPod and with the new Intel Mac computer systems, Apple will soon be over a ten percent market-share in the personal computer industry.

          Happy 30th! Ahhhh... and to think I've been with you for 15 of those precious years. Oh the P-ram we've zapped... The extension conflicts we've scratched our collective System 7 heads at... And the many "flavors" of iMacs we've tasted together.
          What a beautiful bond we have had over the years.

          I love you!
          Happy Birthday.

              Happy Birthday Apple :)

              The smile (i just like it) on Steve Jobs face is because his iPod and iTunes lineup worked successfully otherwise i think it would have been really really difficult for apple to continue to work because Microsoft is really aggressive with their platform...

                      Apple has had an enormous influence on product design for the last 15 years worldwide. As well as showing other computer companies that computers don't have to be beige boxes - the imac and ipod have influenced numerus household products. Can you say Microsoft has had that effect? It's more like the effect the Beatles had on the music industry.

                        I shudder to think what kind of computers we would be using today where it not for the artistic touch and rock and roll attitude of Jobs and Woz back in the day.

                        It's unlikely that Windows would have risen to the top without Apple showing them the way.
