That mixture was on display Sunday, when Cook delivered a commencement speech at Stanford University. In doing so, he paid homage to the legendary June 2005 Stanford address delivered by Steve, while putting his own stamp on things.
Here’s how:

On Sunday, Tim Cook delivered the commencement address for graduating students at Stanford University.
During his speech, Cook talked privacy, the importance of using tech for good, and how it felt to take over Apple after Steve Jobs’ death. Check out the video below:
