“Silicon Valley luminaries, politicians and celebrities were among the several hundred people at a private memorial service for late Apple Inc co-founder and tech visionary Steve Jobs on Sunday,” Poornima Gupta and Alexei Oreskovic report for Reuters. “The event was heavily patrolled by police and security and walled off to the public.”
“Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took the helm of the world’s largest technology corporation in August when the industry icon declared he could no longer lead Apple, walked up to the chapel with a man dressed in the garb of a Buddhist monk,” Gupta and Oreskovic report. “Maria Shriver, estranged wife of former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and U2 frontman Bono stopped to exchange words with others in the courtyard before heading in.”
Gupta and Oreskovic report, “Apple software chief Scott Forstall, former President Bill Clinton and News Corp Chief Digital Officer Jon Miller were also among those in attendance… Employees will hold a separate celebration of his life on Oct 19 at company headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino.”

Thanks, Steve
For once I hope somebody breaches the secrecy and tell us all a little about this memorial.
I am sure Steve is assembling his team in heaven and hopefully that will not be as top secret. If anybody can find a way to open communication between worlds it will be Steve Jobs.
Try prayer.

Well done Steve! … Thank You! … RIP …
I wonder if Mr Jobs had some sort of Prerecorded message for those assembled.
