"Today marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and in a display of\u00A0remembrance, Apple has updated the front page of its website with a video and message from Apple CEO Tim Cook noting that &amp;quot;His spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe video (embedded below) includes small quotes from Jobs' time as Apple's CEO, sharing snippets from his product launch keynotes (including the iPod and the iPhone), and funny anecdotes from his on-stage demos. Apple uses\u00A0Johann Sebastian Bach's haunting Cello Suite No.1 Prelude in G - Major to accompany the quotes and image stills.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nImmediately following the video, Cook's message is displayed. The text, in full:\r\nA message from Tim Cook,\u00A0Apple's CEO\r\n\r\nSteve's passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple.\u00A0No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his future legacy into the future.\r\n\r\nI'm incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It's a wonderful tribute to Steve's memory and everything he stood for.\r\n\r\nTim\r\nSteve Jobs died late on October 5 at the age of 56. Following his death, Apple immediately issued a press release from its board of directors, posting a warm\u00A0tribute to a man who helped change consumer electronics industry for the better on the front page of its website.\r\n\r\nWithin days, Apple received more than 1 million Steve Jobs tributes, creating a \u2018Remembering Steve\u2019 page for website visitors to read and remember (which is still available to read today). Walter Isaacson then brought forward the release of his autobiography chronicling Jobs' life, selling\u00A0379,000 copies in the U.S. during its first week.\r\n\r\nJobs' legacy has lived on - allowing us to pull together our &amp;quot;Retrospective: A year without Steve,&amp;quot;\u00A0which includes some of the most interesting tributes and anecdotes about Jobs from our coverage over the past year, sprinkled with Apple events and developments.\r\n\r\nIt's only when you look back over the year, you realise how much Steve Jobs has remained an integral part of Apple.\r\n\r\nUpdate: Tim Cook also sent out a slightly more personal email internally to staff, as published by 9to5mac:\r\nTeam,\r\n\r\nSteve's passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place. As you and I know firsthand, one of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future. I'm incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road.

It's a wonderful tribute to Steve's memory and everything he stood for.\r\n\r\nTim\r\nImage Credit:\u00A0Justin Sullivan/Getty"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
