Steve Jobs to Be Honored With Commemorative Postage Stamp in 2015

Nothing against John Lennon, but it seems odd to put a British person on U.S. postage. :confused:

He lived in New York at The Dakota. I think he lived in the states from 1970 till his time of death. In my opinion John Lennon transcends nationality. He was loved by the world.

He gained permanent residency status in 1976 but did not live to 1981, the soonest he would have been eligible to become a citizen.

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

Ironic that the Postal Service is revering a man who is largely responsible for its demise.

Remind me, why do we still need the post office?

You don't still get physical mail? Because you still have an address. You could change email daily. You can't move that often.... Although I know some of my college friends who tried.

Dude! They will sell a gazillion of them and it'll keep em running for an extra month or two.
 
Making a post stamp of a guy who championed the digital method of delivery is a slap in the face.

I'd be more concerned about the somewhat dubious decision to put Michael Jackson on a stamp.

Lets hope no children buy this Michael Jackson stamp.

I think the photo on his biography or from the same session would be good. That or one from the early Macintosh days. I hope they avoid photos from the last few years where he looks frail.

These would be much better choices:

And yet people rush out to buy new devices every year but complain when the new device isn't significantly different than the device they bought the previous year.

There's a name for those people, but saying that word here will get me in trouble. :rolleyes:

Is it gonna cost as much as their products?

They already do. :D
 
I'd rather put his face on currency. How long does he have to be dead for before we can do that?

Edit: I looked it up - the answer is 2 years. So he's already eligible to be put on US currency.

So that was Steve I spoke to a few years ago when we didn't receive mail for two weeks? Didn't realize that. The person on the other end of the call said we have to remove the snow from our front lawn. Carrier refused to use the plowed driveway and shoveled service walk to the mailbox at the front entrance.

I'm still looking for the steps they said were ice covered. Front entrance is at grade so I really can't locate the steps. Stopped looking :)
 
Jony Ive is designing the stamp - he says it will have a flat design and be the thinnest stamp ever.
