Steve Jobs to Be Honored With Commemorative Postage Stamp in 2015

[Tech198]

Does this mean a surge of parcels will be going out too ?

Every one like Steve jobs.... Now how about it in color

This is like a 'boost' for sales...

"We know Steve, but more importantly, every time you post, we wanna male sure you know it to."

Big deal... I'll get any stamp i like thanks ....

How ironic, snail mail postage.

The feds at their finest... bleh!

yep.... it's like sticking a celebratory on a stamp just because it will make them more popular.

actually, here in hungary there was a release of a commemorative stamp back in late 2011:

(the design is bit awful)

And I see you didn't add anything constructive to the conversation at all.

There is nothing to add. Every one has imperfections. Michael Jackson's tribute is based on his professional life not his PERSONAL actions.

Yes but people's personal actions impact on how the public view them.

Totally not true unless you'e an average Joe. Athletes and other famous people get fast-tracked ALL the time in EVERY country.

Being seen as controversial and potentially dangerous by some can be an impediment. Also, Lennon, being classy as he was, it is hard to imagine him partaking in "cutsies."

maybe they will use a better one for finals

How is Steve Jobs an "email pioneer"? He had nothing to do with the development of the POP, SMTP, or IMAP protocols and there's nothing visionary about including an email client with your operating system (even Microsoft did it before Apple).

No, the ironic thing here is the majority of people who will buy these stamps only use the postage service to pay their bills now.

Yes, but steve did it right. /troll Sorry, i'm not gunna give credit to Von Neumann and Alan Turing every time i bring up a computing pioneer. His work with email was also done in NextSTEP, not Apple. But I guess haters gunna hate.
