Steve Jobs has been memorialized on film studio Pixar's campus.
The Pixar Times, a site dedicated to the film studio, reported yesterday that the Pixar main building is now known as "The Steve Jobs Building." Junn Lee, a Pixar employee, yesterday tweeted a picture of the building with its new name atop the entranceway.
Pixar likely wouldn't be the company it is today without Steve Jobs. In the mid-1980s, the company was having real trouble staying float under the leadership of famed director George Lucas. After his ouster from Apple, Steve Jobs paid Lucas $5 million for Pixar's technology rights. He then invested more and more cash to finally buy out the entire company.
