Woz To Be Immortalized In Wax

Posted by timothy on from the but-wax-can-suffocate dept.

mikejuk writes: Having already made wax figures of Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, the Madame Tussauds museum recently put out a call for nominations for who should be next, with the stipulation that the nominees have a connection with the Bay Area. The shortlist was then whittled down to ten, including Google co-founder Larry Page, Tesla's Elon Musk, Marc Benioff of Salesforce, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer of Yahoo. Any of them would look great as wax figures, but outcome of the public vote was a clear winner — Steve Wozniak. Once his statue is complete Woz will be on display next to Steve Jobs in San Francisco and an ideal setting for a selfie.

    He's the real man behind apple. After all, he's the creator. Jobs only marketed it. (But he did do that well.)

      Hopefully they'll be far enough apart that you can easily get a picture with just Woz.

      He's the real man behind apple.

      He was in 1985. By 2005, Jobs probably had done his fair share.

      Woz was still much more respectable, though.
