A small, private funeral is taking place Friday for Apple founder Steve Jobs, who died this week at age 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. There's Twitter, and Facebook, and other social network forums to easily reach the world.
And so it is with tiny-but-troubling Westboro Baptist Church, which has held hostage the search term "Steve Jobs Funeral" since Apple co-founder and long-time CEO Steve Jobs died Wednesday.
The funeral is characterized as a small private gathering, this person said. The person wouldn't say where or when the event was taking place, citing respect for Mr. Jobs and his family's privacy. Jobs died Wednesday at 56. Apple Inc. announced no cause of death, but Jobs had been diagnosed with a rare pancreatic cancer seven years ago and had a liver transplant in 2009.
But Westboro Baptist Church ironically made the announcement on an iPhone - and later said they would only picket a public remembrance. CONTINUE READING STEVE JOBS FUNERAL ARRANGMENTS:
