San Francisco: Tech giant Apple mark the one-year
anniversary of Steve Jobs' death, with replacing its home page on Friday with a
tribute video to its co-founder and a letter from CEO Tim Cook.
The 1-minute, 45-second long video on Apple.com features black-and-white still
images and quotes from Jobs.
"Steve's passing
one year ago was a sad and difficult time for all of us," Jobs's successor
as chief executive, Tim Cook, said in a message on the company website.
"I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the
many ways he made the world a better place,” he added.
Apple posted a two-minute video with snippets of Jobs and the various products
he introduced, from the early Apple computers to the iPhone.
The video also highlights some of the
company's greatest inventions, overseen by Jobs, such as the iMac, the iPod,
and the iPhone.
Jobs died October 5, 2011 at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
"One of the
greatest gifts Steve gave to the world was Apple," Cook said. "No
company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for
itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the
foundation of Apple."
A day earlier Apple
announced to launch iPhone 4S.
