According to reports on Twitter, Apple’s Steve Jobs memorial event is well underway, and it’s already looking like a touching tribute to a great man by the company he built.
A tweet by Rodger Lizaola says ex-Vice President and Apple board member Al Gore has already arrived.
Meanwhile, Nora Jones is reportedly playing a tribute song in memory of Steve Jobs that Kevin Rochowski says “really sets the right tone.” The song she played was Forever Young.
Coldplay also performed, according to Twitter user Larley.
Tyler Stone tweeted: “Wonderful speech by Tim [Cook]. Wonderful speech by Bill Campbell. Wonderful performance by Norah Jones. This really helps bring closure.”

I really hope Apple uploads a stream of this at some point.
Just as Walt lives on so will Steve
Me too. They should let their devotes enjoy in the celebration as well.
So funeral has been already done?
I hope so too. It sounds wonderful,.
I agree. I think the same way that it gives the employees a sense of closure and moving forward, it will give all followers of Apple some closure as well.Â
did you just say celebration asswhole
Really, what kind of closure did you need?
I had a Genius Bar appointment today right after the memorial, and I asked one of the employees how it was. He responded with a smug “Oh, we’re not supposed to talk to outsiders about it. Internal thing, you understand.”Â
CELEBRATION? is that what this is to you?
I believe all memorials are celebrations. Â Â Celebrations of a life and achievement.
I thought I was the only one who thought about the great Mr. Walt Disney to Jobs.
Thank you…
sure, you can’t wait with that too long xD they did it a few days after steve passed away, with family members and a few close friends
I have thought the same thing for years – I think they were cut from the same cloth.
