I think it's a stereogram. If you relax your eyes an image of Bill Gates appears.

@Kaiser-Machead: You really think that it is only Apple themselves who do the designing and engineering for their products? What, like the current range of MacBooks (HotAir excluded)? 'Fraid the honours go to the Sony Vaio design team on that one, who were asked to provide a new direction for Apple's laptops after the hilarious debacle that was that awful giant toilet seat contraption (so much for world-beating design skills from Apple on that mess). Who knows what else.

Hi all!
I am the illustrator who created this.

First:
Let me thank Jason, who liked my work and putted it here.
I would also like to thank anyone who liked or disliked it.

Second:
I have to make some corrections:
Deanna Lowe is the Art Director of Fortune maganize who asked me to create a mosaic portrait of Steve Jobs, made out of latest Apple products.

Third:
I have to correct everyone's guessing about my time.
Contrary to what it's said on the majority of these comments I am extremely busy and I don't have so much free time.
I am a professional designer and I own a studio. This work and many others are done upon request by our clients. For this work that you have placed here the client was Time - Fortune Inc.
The illustration has been made to illustrate this article:
[money.cnn.com]
You can read more here:
[www.flickr.com]

As for the time needed to create works like this:
Mosaics and synthetic images are a true passion for me. I have developed many custom techniques to create them. If you wanna know more about my techniques visit my Flickr photostream [www.flickr.com] and go to the Mosaic and Synthetix set. [www.flickr.com]

Closing this message I would ask who is commenting to ask himself a question:
Who has more time to waste? A professional designer or a blog visitor?

Best

@Randile:

Since Apple is the leading manufacturer of the coolest and most innovative gadgets out there why would the heavy apple news surprise you.

Surprise me? Oh, heck no -- I have been an obnoxious commenter at Giz for too long to be surprised about anything around here. I actually enjoy it, even though the only Apple computer I own is an old MacBook G4. And I do believe Apple is the best technology design and marketing company out there. Kudos to them and Mr. Jobs.

That said, it would be nice if Steve would spend a few of his billions on helping the world, like Mr. Gates has done. Maybe in a few years. Who knows.

Plus people seem to enjoy apple rumors and stuff like that. I have to say though, even as an Apple fanboy, that I don't need a post on here when some kid in Wisconsin finds a tortilla chip with Steve Jobs likeness on it, or a potato shaped like an apple logo.

Does Gizmodo lean heavily towards apple stuff? There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by that something relating to apple isn't on the site.

You're new around here, aren't you?

Yes, you could say Giz has their favorites. It is one of the things you learn to enjoy (despise) about this wonderful (awful) web site. You might call it a love (hate) relationship, but it would be more accurate to call me a bit silly (schizophrenic).

Very astute observation. I wonder what the underlying message is, behind the decision to make him look that way? Perhaps you have further insight?
