PanARMENIAN.Net - Silicon Valley luminaries, politicians and
celebrities were among the several hundred people at a private memorial
service for late Apple Inc co-founder and tech visionary Steve Jobs
on Sunday, October 16.
Reuters reports that guests arrived in dozens of black limousines and
walked up a path lighted by hundreds of large white candles to Memorial
Church in the heart of Stanford University's campus. The event was
heavily patrolled by police and security and walled off to the public.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took the helm of the world's largest technology
corporation in August when the industry icon declared he could no
longer lead Apple, walked up to the chapel with a man dressed in the
garb of a Buddhist monk.
Apple software chief Scott Forstall, former President Bill Clintonand
News Corp Chief Digital Officer Jon Miller were also among those
in attendance.
Jobs died last week at the age of 56 after a long battle with a rare
form of pancreatic cancer. The visionary inspired iconic products
such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad, which made him one of the most
significant industry leaders of his generation.
Jobs' Sunday memorial - days after a small private funeral service -
comes after the iPhone 4S last week smashed sales records for Apple
and some of its carrier partners such as AT&T Inc and Sprint.
Employees will hold a separate celebration of his life on Oct 19 at
company headquarters
