He changed technology and how the world communicates.
Now, five years after he died, Apple founder Steve Jobs may be remembered in another way -- on a Paris street.
"Rue Steve Jobs" is among names shortlisted for one of the new roads in the French capital's southeastern 13th arrondissement that will lead to a new incubator for hi-tech start-ups.
The tech titan's name was put forward by the district's socialist mayor who credited Jobs -- whose company altered the face of computing, revolutionised music with the iPod and launched the iPhone and iPad -- with "changing our daily lives".
But the mayor, Jerome Coumet, has faced a backlash from elected Communists, who in a statement said "the reality of the legacy" of Jobs was "insufficient wages" and "forced overtime" for Apple subcontractors.
