Steve Jobs To Be Immortalized With Bronze Sculpture (VIDEO)

The passing of Steve Jobs left the world stunned. The Apple co-founder that introduced us to such revolutionary products such as the iPod, the iPad and the iPhone also helped to define the aesthetics of our ever-changing world. No matter how many innovations we can expect in a post-Jobs world, Apple will undoubtedly hold onto the pitch perfect synthesis of technology and design for quite some time to come.

As a tribute to the late Apple guru, Hungarian sculptor Erno Toth is constructing a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of Jobs commissioned by businessman Gabor Bojar. Bojar felt a special connection with Jobs ever since they met at technological conference some years ago.

The sculpture will feature Jobs in his trademark uniform: blue jeans and a turtleneck. Toth has also decided that Jobs' pose will mimic his emphatic keynote addresses and not a somber and static pose. Thankfully, Toth is set on portraying Jobs as the enthusiastically interactive figure that the world has come to know and greatly miss, not just another passing icon.

The great thing about a statue is that it's always ready to be torn down.

People just can't let this guy go, can they? Apparently the iPod is the single most valuable invention ever made.

I think Jobs might have preferred it to be life-size, not over 7 feet tall.

I think that the best memorializing of Steve Jobs would be to make the Apple logo in the likeness of the design offered by Jonathon Mak shortly after S.J.'s death....it was beautiful, universal, relevant and accessible throughout the world.

A few of us "unenlightened ones" believe he is still very much alive.

Perhaps he is attempting to convince God that He needs a new marketing program.

Steve Jobs didn't care that the men and women who made the iPODS and MACs were paid less than $100 a month working 12 hours a day six days a week. Not to mention all of the chemicals that killed the workers and made them sterile. He cared only about money and making the most he could before he died.

I like the statue lying down. It looks like he's been frozen in carbonite. "The passing of Steve Jobs left the world stunned"? Really? I don't know about you, but life went on pretty much as usual for me, and I've been using Apple products for a long time.

Really??? The Woz should get one before him.

It should be made of off white plastic, be an almost exact copy of an existing statue(but claimed to be original), overheat at random times, be horribly unsecured, and cost 3 times more to make than any other statue in the world.
