Jackling house photographs
Photographs of the Jackling house, a mansion Steve Jobs aims to demolish and build over, have surfaced on MacMagazine. The Brazilian news outlet photographed the mansion while on a day trip to visit areas frequented by Steve Jobs. Photographs were also taken of the infamous garage in which Jobs founded Apple, and his current home in Palo Alto.
Jobs previously won the right to demolish the Jackling house and build on the property in a six-two-one vote by the Woodside, California town council. There has been much criticism over Jobs' choice to demolish the house instead of fixing it.
Although pictures of the mansion exist, the new photos are supposedly the first taken in "many years". The reporters suggested the house is falling apart and is fenced off so photographs could not be taken of the building's interior.

Seriously, people, I know he's a 'beloved' person and all, but doesn't this kinda go over the line from fanatacism to idolatry?
