This is a variation of that commercial that never aired, with Steve Jobs himself narrating. </p> <blockquote><p>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 quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may 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.</p></blockquote> <p>Whether intentional or not, the words describe Jobs quite well. The aired version ended up being narrated by Richard Dreyfuss, and won several awards.</p> <p>A related easter egg is hidden in the Mac OS X app TextEdit, with the icon displaying the same text: <span id="more-22042"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/textedit-icon-crazy-ones.jpg" alt="TextEdit icon with The Crazy Ones text" title="textedit-icon-crazy-ones" width="561" height="557" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22043" /></p> <p><a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-has-passed-away/">RIP Steve</a></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/NZTzECXvQ8KLpv-EXYLoeDFm5H8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/NZTzECXvQ8KLpv-EXYLoeDFm5H8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/NZTzECXvQ8KLpv-EXYLoeDFm5H8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/NZTzECXvQ8KLpv-EXYLoeDFm5H8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D0v8-WgUiAc:Rh1-nr-MeAM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/D0v8-WgUiAc" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
