What's This?

On the two-year anniversary of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' death, company CEO Tim Cook took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the legacy of one of technology's biggest icons.

Sending the message from his recently verified Twitter account, Cook wrote:

The public message offers a rare look into the friendship that the two Apple veterans shared for well over a decade. It also shows Cook's willingness to embrace Twitter as a platform for sharing one's most intimate thoughts — something Jobs, known as a very private person, would likely have avoided.

In addition to the tweet, Cook also reportedly sent an internal letter to Apple employees on Friday, one day before the anniversary of Jobs' death. Discovered by 9to5 Mac, the letter says:

Team-

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of Steve's death. I hope 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.

Best,
Tim

Cook's comments on the anniversary of Jobs' death are a reminder that Apple still holds the innovative co-founder close to its heart.

What's more, despite those who argue that the company has lost the spirit of Jobs' "think different" approach to crafting new technology products, these new messages make it clear that Cook intends to follow in Jobs' footsteps, rather than forge an entirely new, and possibly uncertain path for Apple.
