  1. Just watched it after watching Walter Isaacson on “60 Minutes”. First sense of a bit of closure since he passed.

    The blown-up images of Steve hanging from the buildings is almost eerie, almost like he’s watching the whole proceedings.

    Just my $.02.

    Peace.

  2. Another crazy cool thing for Apple to do: sharing this moving event with the million of people who loved and appreciated Steve’s insanely great taste and freaking brilliant mind. Thank you, Apple. Thank you, Steve.

    Love, always.

    1. If on the Mac, you need to at least be on OS 10.6 for it to work. Anyway, true to Apple form, an excellently thought out and executed event. Inspiring, touching. Absolutely worth the watch.

  3. The music was too big of a part. I know Steve loved both performers, but it was starting to feel like a concert. The best parts were the great stories about Steve. I just wish we could have heard a couple more.

    Aluminum 😀

    1. there is a torrent out there of the entire event if you know where to look. no i won’t post it.
      it’s a 540p mkv file 1.5gb, from there you can convert it to whatever you want.

      I was going to do the same thing, capture the stream from apple and toss it into my, library. then I saw the torrent, saved me the time.

    1. At the iPhone event Tim looked to be somewhere else.

      the next day Steve Passed, I think he had Steve on his mind instead of the event. (understandable)
      there was a few times Tim seemed to look at the empty chair and lose his thoughts about the iPhone. We only knew the reasons afterwards.

      Glad we are able to see the memorial. and Steve made the right choice with Tim, the timing of the iPhone event couldn’t have been worse for Tim. Big shoes to fill, and he knew what the near future would bring… very hard job for anyone.

  4. The part with Steve speaking the voiceover of the crazy ones advert touched my soul.

    I couldn’t stop crying.

    I never ever felt this way about someone I ever met. Steve was a one off and I will always miss him.

    God bless you Steve.

  5. Watched it on my iPad 2. It’s very moving, especially the main speakers. Bill Campbell’s speech was very moving. I wept again, as when I first heard the news. The world will never see his like again, Al Gore, Tim Cook, Jony Ive – they were all good.

    My only confusion is that Apple (here, Tim Cook) seems to keep omitting the Apple II as one of Steve’s great breakthrough products. Why? Although Steve Wozniak was the main creative genius on that, didn’t Steve Jobs also have a major role in designing the product? Anyone have a good explanation?
