“As co-founder and longtime CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs garnered quite a fanbase before his unfortunate passing earlier this year,” Mike Wehner reports for Tecca.
“From his visible position within the tech giant, he became a beloved figure in the world of consumer electronics,” Wehner reports. “A computer software company in Hungary is showing just how much Jobs meant to them by commissioning a bronze statue in Jobs’s likeness that stands a mighty 7′ tall.”
Wehner reports, “Chairman Gabor Bojar of Graphisoft is the man behind the metal model, and sculptor Erno Toth is the artist doing the heavy lifting. Toth is building the Jobs replica using a photo of the Apple founder from an old issue of the magazine, The Economist.”

Steve Jobs to be immortalized by his actions during life.
… and my iPhone 4S, 27″ i5, iPad, iPod Touch, TV, and, and, and…
To the future…!
Cheers!
I think I just found Waldo.
Nice gesture. I hope the final product is better than what I saw in the video. Looks pretty crude, but I withhold my opinion until I fly out to Hungry.
The way it looks now, they are lucky Steve Jobs isn’t here to critique it in his laser way. “It’s Shit”.
Why seven feet tall? At that scale, you may as well go life-sized.
Bah! Apple itself is a monument to Steve Jobs!
They are late, there is already a statue of Steve Balmer immortalizing him forever….

Do you mean the Oscar the Grouch statue?
”Toth is building the Jobs replica using a photo of the Apple founder from an old issue of the magazine, The Economist.”
Let’s hope that it’s not a photo from 1987.
Technically it’s just his likeness that’s being immortalized.
I think a likeness of Ballmer covered in pigeon shit is more appropriate.
Show him eating a Happy Meal.
Pure hokum. Steve Jobs doesn’t need no stinking statues. Seriously.
Nobody needs your stinky, senseless comment.
I think it’s cool. 🙂
Sounds sort of eastern European to me. Kinda creepy by American standards. Remember the “1984” commercial, Apple destroyed the Beloved Leader and set the people free.
