They're just sucking up - he's on their board of directors.

Don't be tiresome, Ryan. I'm well aware of Gore's seat on the board. But he did win the Nobel Prize.

This congratulation is not sucking up -- at least, not to Gore, who isn't the intended audience. This is PR, and what's interesting is how Apple chooses to appeal to its customers. I'm not suggesting there is nothing cynical going on, but whatever evil calculations may have fed into this, the result is still a good one from where I'm sitting.
