A few hundred investors with a lot to celebrate showed up at 4 Infinite Loop Tuesday for a Tim Cook love fest. We watched it from the press room, where computers and cameras were not permitted, but iPhones were.

Here’s what we tweeted:

Press room at Apple shareholders meeting is mostly empty (photos not permitted)
Apple board meeting starting. Board members introduced. Tim Cook wearing sweater with elbow patches.
[General counsel Bruce] Sewell doing the boring pro forma introductions, including the ushers
Voting procedures explained. Ballots handed out. This is a joke because the vast majority of votes will go management’s way.
Board of directors nominated without discussion. Accountants likewise. Exec compensation too. Employee stock purchase plan too.
Proposal #5 is controversial. Wants transparency in renewable investments that proponent calls “reckless”
Apple gets a 30% [subsidy] for its $800 million investment in First Solar. That could go away in next administration, critic says.
Tim Cook’s quote last year that he isn’t focused on the “bloody ROI” is thrown back in his face by an investor group that seems to think that [Apple’s investors] own [the company]
All Apple proposals passed, but exec comp one got 25.37% no votes, which is high.
[Business part of the] meeting is over in record 21 minutes. Q&A begins.
Cook talks about Apple’s “unbelievable” year. Familiar stuff. Reviews new products and services of 2014. Ends with Watch.
Apple CEO says there’s no business model behind ResearchKit. “We’re not in it for the ROI.”
Re acquisitions, Cook says “we are constantly on the lookout for talent and IP and other things” (chuckles)
Cook is calm and self controlled as he ticks off the initiatives like Project Red, ConnectEd, renewable energy
Cook: This is not about politics. It’s about leaving the world a better place. Doing it because it’s right (applause)
Tim Cook introduces Jesse Jackson who makes a joke about biscuits and thanks Cook for what he’s done for diversity
Jackson asks Apple to put an African American on the board and to bring back offshore trillions (sic) to invest in his community
Jackson is reading from a multi page printout
Apple shareholders starting to squirm as Jackson drones on
TimCook: “I’m going to work until my toes point up on diversity”
First investor questioner cracks a joke: They used to call us Apploonies. Now they call us wealthy.
Cook: Whenever I have a bad day I go to an Apple Store it’s better than any Prozac
Shareholder tells Cook: Frankly I’d like to see you buy Tesla
Apple’s relationship with IBM is like glove on hand says Cook
Cook: We don’t really have a relationship with Tesla. I’d love to see them pick up CarPlay. “Was that a good way to avoid the question?”
Cook gets a second Q about Tesla. A: we’re very focused on CarPlay. (Big laughs)
A second [call] — from a 46 year old black man — for a black board member.
To answer diversity question, Tim Cook asks his two black execs — both women — to stand up.
Cook: ex EPA administrator Lisa Jackson wasn’t hired because she’s African American. She was hired because she’s perfect.
10:10 last question from a man who bought stock when Cook gave up his bonus. “What can we do to help Apple?” Cook: Tell us when we screw up
10:13 Meeting ends.
