Apple CEO goes on hike to mark Steve Jobs' death anniversary


New Apple CEO Tim Cook is marking the second death anniversary of the tech giant's co-founder Steve Jobs with a long hike.

Cook said this on his Twitter account Saturday night (Manila time), saying he planned to reflect on Jobs' friendship and his impact on the universe.

"Second anniversary of Steve's death. Going on a long hike today and reflecting on his friendship and all the dents he made in the universe," he said.

Apple had named Cook its new CEO following Jobs' death in October 2011.

Tech site Mashable said the message "offers a rare look into the friendship that the two Apple veterans shared for well over a decade."

Meanwhile, Apple enthusiast site 9to5mac.com said Cook issued a company-wide email on Jobs' second death anniversary.

It cited a source who provided a copy of the mail that said Cook hoped "everyone will reflect on what he meant to all of us and to the world."

"Steve was an amazing human being and left the world a better place. I think of him often and find enormous strength in memories of his friendship, vision and leadership. He left behind a company that only he could have built and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We will continue to honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to the work he loved so much. There is no higher tribute to his memory. I know that he would be proud of all of you," it quoted Cook's letter  as saying.

The 9to5mac.com report said Apple honored Jobs last year with a tribute video on its homepage. — LBG, GMA News
