Just had a concert before work. Norah Jones and Coldplay rocked the memorial for Steve Jobs.
@larley:
That was a really moving ceremony. Norah Jones, Coldplay, Al Gore… Got choked up when they played Steve reading “Here’s to the Crazy Ones”
@graymccarty
Wow. That was amazing. Simple, beautiful. Just as Steve would have wanted.
