Apple closes for staff to say last goodbye to Jobs

SAN JOSE: The employee-only memorial service for the late Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, at the company's Californian headquarters featured performances by Coldplay and Norah Jones but it was a recording of Jobs that brought the house down.

Apple played a recording of its former chief executive reciting the lines to its famous ''Think Different'' commercial, created soon after he returned to head the company in 1997.
