I think the bar is to commemorate Gene Amdahl.

I think the bar appeared before the attacks.

Wasn't the black bar already up for Amdahls's death?

My mistake. Thank you (and sciurus) for pointing that out to me.

Here's [1] the discussion of the black bar in the Amdahl thread and I agree that it's a very proper show of respect for that man.
