There should still be a public memorial though, maybe not a memorial service but a national 1 or 2 minute silence around the globe or in the USA and UK or something along those lines or maybe events celebrating Steve's life taking place in Apple stores around the world.
Suck on that, Westboro.
Amen. That church needs to be disbanded, and the people who go to it have their heads checked because something is clearly wrong upstairs.

My thoughts EXACTLY!
The reason why is probably because of the Westboro Baptist church folks, because they said they would be picketing his funeral. Why is anyones guess but yeah.
I can see the family deciding to make this very private and not letting people know where it was at, kinda takes the wind out of the Westboro sails ya know?

It's Strange But...
I realized the other day that now, when I hold my iPhone... I feel like it's Steve's like I'm holding something that he had touched and loved so much. It's just an odd sensation and I'm kinda taken aback how this has effected me. Much more than I thought it would.

Good for Steve and his family that everything was nice and private, just like he would have wanted.
Rest in Peace
Rest in Peace
As it should be. The family deserves it's privacy to mourn and say good-bye to the husband and father they knew. And the company needs it's celebration to remember and grieve for their leader and founder. For the rest of us, no Michael Jackson-esque televised display or public moment of silence could offer as good a way to say "thank you and farewell" as the very personal, impromptu memorials of apples, notes, flowers and candles before the windows of those stores.
This site has been collecting pictures of the memorials world-wide.
Yeah that is great for people that live near Apple stores but those that can't get near a store because they are dozens or hundreds of miles away need the right to have the chance to pay their respects
Obama, Cameron, Merkel, Burlesconi etc need to get together and arrange a national minutes silence in Steve's honour in their countries so that everyone can pay their respects.
Suck on that, Westboro.
My sentiments exactly.
Glad its a private funeral. It's going to be a difficult day for his family and closest friends to say goodbye and the last thing they need is a full public ceremony.
Still hasn't sunk in that he's passed on. I haven't met the guy but I'm certainly going to miss the enthusiasm and excitement he brings upon a new product launch.
Things just won't be the same. RIP.
Yeah I agree. Although I do like PoSV, I prefer Triumph better. And it has some good interviews with Steve Jobs as well and the history of how computers and the first GUI computers came to be.
I hope he would rest in a glass and stainless steel coffin. A design that he always came to love. A design that never dies.

I actually watched it in full last night (ive seen it lots in peices but never in full). One of the most interesting documentaries I've seen to date.
Whats most impressive that most of the pioneers started out doing all the PC work as a hobby for themselves that basically turned into a massive market of profit by accident.
What pisses me off though is how Bill Gates stole so much credit with Windows 3.0 and 95 from Mac's GUI interface.
Absolutely, the same thought keeps coming to me when using my iPhone and MBP now.
You can't know how much something like this you until it happens; no matter how much we might have been expecting it. It makes sense though: I think so far this was the man who had had the biggest influence on my everyday life. Machines I've used every day for the last 10 years, and much of the '90s too, only existed because of his vision. My reaction to this thus far kind of has me all the more scared for when I start losing my closest family....
Couldn't get to sleep, and at 3am I put on the TWiT audio feed, on my iPhone (of course) to hear reruns of the impromptu coverage from the day before - that helped a lot. But I think what still gets me the most is listening to that conmencement speech. So ridiculously poignant and saddening his comments regarding his own life, in context, and regarding how we should live our own. The "no one wants to die" part just keeps running through my head - amazing words.
I'm with everyone hear with the "good on them; as he would have wanted" re the funeral. But thinking about "celebrity" deaths, the only one that came anywhere near this kind of feeling, for me, was Princess Diana's, couldn't explain why for that one as easily, but she was similarly about changing the world, I guess. Anyway, we got several hours of TV coverage for that funeral; somehow it seems like there should be something large scale on this occasion as well.
In a way, I guess that is what is happening, just on a 2011 basis rather than a 1997 one; we're getting hours of coverage in the way that we are used to these days, and it is a much more personal experience. Cheers.
Makes me wonder. Apple be the top tier tech giant, if any company wanted the CEO knowledge stored in AI.......shall we see some avatar AI of Steve in near future??? via all the computational power in the iCloud??
Too much Sci-fi or a possibility?
(after I post possible this thread is not appropriate place for this discussion, maybe I'll move it to appropriate forum/thread, is there one already started here??)

Thought he was suppose to lay Shiva for 7 days
Wrong religions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_(Judaism)
Me too, whenever I hold my iPhone4 or iPad or iPod i kinda get a feeling that Steve is there in spirit inside the device or watching over me
it is not the wrong religion Jobs was a jew so most jews are layed out for 7 days before their bureal muslims do a similar practice also.
Thought he was suppose to lay Shiva for 7 days
I believe he was Buddhist, not Jewish.
Shiva (pronounced shih' vah) is the Jewish mourning ritual.
Shiva (pornounce shee' vah) is a Hindu god.
Perhaps you confused, or kind of merged the two.
Also, in jewish tradition, the deceased must be buried within 24 hours. Sitting Shiva then goes on for 7 days.
