Apple launches “Remembering Steve” feature

PanARMENIAN.Net - Compiling some of the many e-mails the company has received since the passing of Steve Jobs, Apple launched a new feature on its website on Wednesday, October 19, called "Remembering Steve."

The tribute site, at apple.com/stevejobs/, continuously scrolls with personal messages sent in by customers and admirers of Jobs. Submissions are still being accepted at the address rememberingsteve@apple.com.

"Over a million people from all over the world have shared their memories, thoughts, and feelings about Steve," the site reads. "One thing they all have in common - from personal friends to colleagues to owners of Apple products - is how they've been touched by his passion and creativity."

The memorial page arrives as Apple is set to hold a celebration of the life of Jobs at its Cupertino, Calif., campus. Apple's retail stores will temporarily close from 10 a.m. Pacific to 11:30 a.m., allowing employees to watch a live broadcast of the event.

Another, more private tribute to Jobs was held on Sunday at Stanford Memorial Church, attended by Apple executives, family, friends and dignitaries, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton. It also included performances from cellist Yo Yo Ma, singer Joan Baez, and U2 frontman Bono, Apple Insider reported.
