Apple has publicly acknowledged and mourned victims of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris by adding the commemorative symbol of the black ribbon to the homepage of its French website.
The symbol has also been added by Google to its own homepage, while Paris-based iOS Senior Software Engineer Julien Jalon has took to Twitter to report that Apple has been calling all of its employees in France to check they are safe.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook had earlier, following the initial news of the attacks, reached out to grief-stricken loved ones of victims on his own Twitter account.
Prayers for Paris, the victims and their loved ones. Nous sommes tous Parisiens.

Yesterday, we reported how Facebook had enabled its users to make their own commemorations by adding a filter of the French flag to their profile pictures. We at AppleMagazine also have the victims, their families and France very much in our thoughts.
