Steve Jobs Nominated for Time Magazine "Person of the Year"

NBC Nightly News has nominated Apple cofounder Steve Jobs for Time Magazine's "Person of the year" award! If Steve Jobs will be selected, he will be the first person to receive the award postmortem.
This award is dedicated to people, coulpes, groups, ideas that helped changing the world during the year in course.
Last year's winner was Mark Zuckerberg!
Other winners were Apollo 8 Astronauts, American Scientists, You in 2006 representing the individual content creator of the internet and "The Computer" in 1982.

Brian Williams, NBC in his speech:

"One guy, who changed our world, and I said to Seth Meyers as we walked across Sixth Avenue, "Just look with me on this one block walk at how he changed the world around us. Look at how he changed the world." Not only did he change the world, but he gave us that spirit again that something was possible that you could look at a piece of plastic or glass and move your finger-- that's outlandish. You could make things bigger or smaller like that. "Oh the places you'll go" and oh the way you will change forever the music and television industries. So may he rest in peace, Steve Jobs, and the spirit he represents, are my nominee for Person of the Year."
