Steve Jobs award was accepted by Apple’s Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue.
Accepting the award, Eddy Cue said;
“Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant so much to him. He told us that music shaped his life. It made him who he was. Everyone who knows Steve knows the profound impact that artists like Bob Dylan and the Beatles had on him.”
