Steve Jobs' face to appear on a commemorative postage stamp in 2015

Let's also not forget that he will always be remembered as the pioneer of Asian slave labor for the sake of profit, and the great human being who screwed nearly everyone who were with him in the beginning, denying stock options to some who gahe his dream their all and worked tirelessly to bring his plans to fruition.

Eh, whatever, this was probably induced by a bit of prodding with forks of cash by certain people. USPS could certainly use the money as it is always a bit under funded.

There's a lot of legitimate criticisms to make against Jobs. You didn't make a single one there. Complete swing and a miss, but the fanboys (or rather haters) give you thumbs up anyway.

As an Android and mostly Samsung customer I have to agree. While I don't like Apple's model in the last couple of years, mainly after the death of Jobs, but one can't deny the huge impact Apple had in our daily life. They revolutionized the smartphone industry, with the iPhone and the iPad, and now with the smartwatch. Yes they are yet to introduce their own smartwatch, but we all know why companies rushed theirs to the market. Android is far ahead from Apple now, when it comes to software as well as hardware, but Jobs was the one behind all the success not just Apple had, but also Samsung, HTC, Sony, etc.. had in the smartphone industry. Truely deserved for the genius behind the simpler life we are enjoying.

Great, give this guy a stamp! Lets honor a guy was a total douche to everyone... family included! (estranged daughter anyone??)

Nobody cares unfortunately. Just like how Christopher Columbus was a total asshole, but managed to get a holiday just for him.

Sad, but true. In the end, nowasdays only one thing matters: How many gazillion dollars did he manage to pillage???

It's not even a real holiday if I have to work lol

So you put Steve Jobs in the same boat as Christopher Columbus? Wow.... I would have never make the connection between the 2 on any level.

Ask what the general public know about C Columbus. You probably will hear:

1. He discovered America (which he didn't)
2. He was worried about falling off the edge of the earth (biggest lie of our time - no one questioned that the earth was round at that time).

And you won't hear about his blood spilling of american natives either in any school history book.

Same with Jobs. Most people don't know how he screwed over Woziak, his daughter, or being a complete asshole to his employees and his smugness to any of his competitors.

You realize they're no longer "estranged" once they reconnect right? I guess that didn't happen in your fantasy narrative.

And maybe do some research on Gates. He was a douche to everyone too, (you have heard of Microsoft right?) Nothing against his philanthropy but it doesn't magically erase history.

Still doesn't change the fact. When has Bill ever seemed to act like he was better than everyone else? Everytime I see him come up, it looks like he's wearing clothes from Costco. He also has donated probably more than 37 billion dollars by now. He also has a foundation to charity. Not only that, Microsoft was much MUCH more of an impact that Apple ever was and "is". You're comparing a filthy peasant to a saint.

Apple and Jobs gave to charities, but it was, and is, like everything else about the company that isn't a product: Something they don't talk about. You don't buy their products because they are saints or sinners, so why would they?

As for the impact of Microsoft vs Apple, you are missing a key point: Without Microsoft, Apple is still around. Without Apple, there is no Windows, thus no Microsoft. Apple started as a hardware company that does their own software. Microsoft is a software company that made it using a stolen idea.

Without apple MS would still be around since MS made office back way in the day for apple and whoever else would come along.

We don't treat gates like we do jobs.

I'm pretty sure they would patent this lil stamp

33. Stuntman (Posts: 839; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)

It'll only cost $0.70. Apple only takes 30%. :)

I think the Steve Jobs stamp will have rounded corners.

Like an app? That'd be pretty cool...the iStamp

13. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)

If it weren't for apple then android would have dominated a few years later. AND YES, they had a touch screen design in the works, but didn't think people wanted it yet.

Of course, because the Blackberry never existed in your paralel universe, right? Like it or not, Jobs was SECOND to the smart phone industry.
