Leopard's TextEdit Thinks Different
Who would have thought that one of Apple's most memorable ad campaigns and Leopard's most talked about features would collide? That's right, Think Different and Resolution Independence have joined forces to bring us Leopard's all new TextEdit icon. Head on over to NSLog to read the lovely letter that John Appleseed (who is that guy? I'm getting a John Galt vibe from him) penned to Kate. You might recognize the text from those iconic ads of Apple's yesteryear.

Oh yeah, your right. I knew it was someone historic. Thanks for the correction.
Oops. I meant 'at 7'. And on my fist post no less. How embarrassing...

Perhaps it is Kate Bell from the iPhone commercials. Watch below.

I'm shocked that people keep missing the fact that Johnny Appleseed, did what? Planted Apples! John Appleseed is used in commercials, and commercials sell/spread Apples.
It's a really nice icon.
