Steve Jobs remembered on 60th birthday

More than three years after his death, Apple founder Steve Jobs is still remembered on what would have been his 60th birthday.

 

Jobs' successor Tim Cook on Tuesday evening (PHL time) posted a tweet with an image of Jobs and what many consider one of his most powerful quotes.

The quote about loving one's work came from Jobs' commencement address at Stanford University in 2005, according to MacRumors.com.

 

Cook's tweet - posted at about 6:34 p.m. Tuesday, PHL time - got 17,166 retweets and 12,241 favorites as of 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

 

Jobs, who founded Apple in 1976, died from pancreatic cancer in October 2011, and named Cook as his successor.
