Norah Jones and Coldplay Help Apple Celebrate Steve Jobs' Life [Aerial Video of Event]

[cvaldes]

You certainly are indeed guessing, so you're right about that...You're making an awful lot of assumptions.

The only real guess that I made is that Apple management has agreed to do what the family wants.

Other than that, employee behavior at a large corporation like Apple is pretty standardized, especially in light of today's labor laws in California. This is an at-will employment state.

NO....It was a PRIVATE EVENT. Those that attended are bound to that privacy agreement. PERIOD. Just like anything that happens on Apple Campus, you are NOT allowed to take pictures or film. PERIOD. When have you ever seen unofficial pictures of anything at Apple headquarters? you have not. Not even the current menu at Cafe Macs is public. So anyone who was invited and attended PROBABLY won't be sharing much. Now lets talk BUSINESS because it would eventually get there. IF such footage was released, the people that volunteered to perform would need agreements and would have to be paid for their involvement. Norah Jones may not want her performance out there because it was a personal thing. Ever think of that? Maybe Coldplay doesn't want their performance which they probably were not paid for circulating around the internet...that cross your mind? In the business world they would need to be compensated and paid accordingly for a video to be released or THEY COULD SUE APPLE. I'm sure they did not sign away their rights. So again, it was private. Leave it at that. Just because you bought a product doesn't mean you are entitled the privilege of attending private company events. No matter HOW MANY people are invited.

Finally, someone (@jrhone) who gets it.

Okay @myrtlebee, Apple has thrown you a bone.

Enjoy!

If they want you to see it, you'll see it. Otherwise assume it was a private employee memorial. End of.

Some people here in MacRumors need anti-depressant and an appointment with a shrink.

I've had closure 9 1/2 weeks ago...

PRIVATE Event

See, and that is where you don't get it. If it is indeed private then it is also part of people's private life. They can tweet about it. I don't mean make photos and post them nor record anything.

That is where some people here jump the gun by saying that employees should be punished or fired for tweeting about it. It's not a secret that the event happened. Telling what songs were performed or what the atmosphere of the event was does not cause harm either. Heck, most of my work is confidential by HIPAA laws and I still can tell details as long as there is no way of identifying who the person is I dealt with.

Now, what could be wrong about tweeting something like being moved by the event, having liked that song from a band, or that at the end everyone ate cake? That is what Twitter is about - share your thoughts with others who follow you. You don't have to make that all dirty and come up with punishment for that.

'nuf said.

i was very shocked, and still am, at steve's passing. it's very sad but some of you have taken this way too far.

"can i get the video of this"

"i wish i was there"

c'mon people, you didn't know him personally. it shouldn't affect you that much that you have to cry, go to his funeral, or go to anything that is a celebration of his life. that's for family and friends only.

and i know i'll be negged for this post, but it's the truth.

I agree with you.

 

[JohnGregorio]

Stop trying to be internet police.

you should read first before acting

Doesn't that Apple link and the contents therein, not to mention MR forum posting rules to say the least goes against every fiber and every grain that was detailed in Steve Job's "Here's to the crazy ones..."?

Or is that a philosophy befitting only certain circumstances as defined by the select few?

"They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them."

Yup, and what they want you to see is a still photo.

The photo basically says nothing more than what we already knew. A private, employee-only memorial commemorating Steve Jobs was held today on the grounds of Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, CA. The invitation sender (Tim Cook) showed up and so did a bunch of other people. The weather was nice.

Basically, acknowledgement that the event took place and nothing more.

 

[GQB]

mate, you are violating the company's property by downloading this content from Apple's server

Nonsense.

Nicely put. No one is owed blow-by-blow coverage of what happened here.

Regrettably, I have taken down the service (http://www.jpschroeder.com/stevejobs) that allows you to download all the nice condolence comments to steve jobs. Partly because the despite my best intentions, and the fact that I'm sure apple has no problem with it, the legality could be argued by some (prudish as they may be). Partly because the server is crawling with the thousands of simultaneous downloads from high demand. Those currently downloading will not be affected.

If you have questions or are still interested in getting those comments, please send me an email at the address that is now posted on the website.

i was very shocked, and still am, at steve's passing. it's very sad but some of you have taken this way too far.

"can i get the video of this"

"i wish i was there"

c'mon people, you didn't know him personally. it shouldn't affect you that much that you have to cry, go to his funeral

It shouldn't? Why not. Please, explain to me this "truth" that runs contrary to all the evidence of public funerals around the world and throughout history with mourners who never knew the person weeping and grieving and participating.

Or are you saying that the 50,000 people who attended this ceremony and "laughed, cried...found closure" did know Jobs personally? Were his family and friends?

It's not up to you to decide what should or shouldn't affect anyone or why it should or shouldn't affect them. Get off the goddamn high horse. And don't tell me I'm after you for "telling the truth." I'm after you for making a false statement. That being that anyone "shouldn't" be affected who didn't know this man personally. The truth is that we ARE affected by the passing of people we don't know. Sometimes more than people we did know. That is the truth and it's always been the truth.

I recommend you learn to respect such feelings--otherwise when the time comes that you feel the same about someone you don't personally know or about some event you wish you could attend--and you will feel this sometime in your life, I promise you--no one will bother to respect your feelings.

Steve's biography is coming out on Monday, just 5 days from now.

Looking forward to it; certain it will be absorbing and much to ponder.

So glad Steve thought ahead and worked long hours to leave us with some of his wisdom and memories.

 

[thirteen1031]

The giant posters are kind of reminiscent of the giant posters of leaders back in the communist states. Cult of personality indeed.

Also reminiscent of posters of political leaders up for election in countries around the world, capitalist as well as socialist (do we remember Sara Palin as Rosy the Riveter? Tee shirts and posters), posters of Jesus in churches, of rock, television and sports stars (which ones did you have on your bedroom walls?), of the "Think Different" ads...oh, and very reminiscent of pictures that people put up of the one who passed away at a funeral.

I'm sorry, did you have a point?

lol is it just me or the only thing missing from apple/followers is the "juice" & a comet lol

It was a very very moving and iconic tribute to the late Steve jobs by Tim cook, Jonhy I've, Al gore and Bill Campbell. They played the steve jobs narrated Crazy ones advert which moved most to tears. As everyone has said it was a very special event and I doubt anyone even attempted to record it. Everyone invited felt a great loss and also a great privilege to have worked for steve and would show the upmost respect and wishes not too record any of it. I can say i feel a little closure after.

Closure? Really?

He was not murdered and he chose to live the life he did (ignoring his family till the end)

Why would you find closure on a natural cause lol

 

[vitzr]

I'm still waiting for Apple to announce a huge public benefit concert in the memory of steve

A benefit for a Billionaire...?

Oh, Please, Enough Already.

 

[Winter Charm]

Yes, it was.

Apparently, law enforcement officials asked the media not to approach the picketers thus depriving WBC of their goal: free publicity.

I'm glad. Those trolls do not deserve to be fed.

 

[cz9h3d]

some of you are so uptight...live a little.

That's an understatement!

What makes people hate like this so much? FrankJl clearly has major issues.

Steve Jobs was an incredible person. His life needs to be celebrated as he was loved by many. Saying this does not equate to people thinking he is the messiah or can do no wrong. FrankJl seems to have a problem with people being happy. Very similar to republicans trying to hate on Obama.
