Apple has posted a video of a tribute to Steven P. Jobs, the company’s co-founder, that took place last week at the Apple campus in Cupertino, Calif. (The video must be viewed in the Safari Web browser.)
The event, which lasted about 90 minutes, was held to commemorate Mr. Jobs, who died this month after battling pancreatic cancer.
The video begins with Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, introducing Laurene Powell Jobs, Mr. Jobs’s wife, who attended the event. Mr. Cook shared thoughts of Mr. Jobs’s work at Apple over the years and noted that no one in attendance would be working at Apple if it wasn’t for Mr. Jobs.
“There is one more thing he leaves us; he leaves us with each other,” Mr. Cook said. “Other than his family, Apple would be his finest creation.” Mr. Cook also said the last piece of advice Mr. Jobs gave him was “to never ask what he would do; just do what’s right.”
After Mr. Cook’s speech, Al Gore, the former vice president and an Apple board member, spoke. Some of Mr. Jobs’s favorite musicians played the event. The British band Coldplay performed “Fix You” and “Yellow” while thousands of Apple employees, mostly wearing black sweaters, listened and helped celebrate the co-founder’s life. Other performers included Norah Jones, who sang the Bob Dylan song “Forever Young.”
