PARIS (Reuters) - A proposal to name a street after the late Apple Inc chief executive and co-founder Steve Jobs has divided the leftist city council of a Paris district. But Green and Communist local councillors in Paris's 13th district don't like the idea because of Apple's social and fiscal practices. "Steve Jobs was chosen because of his impact on the development of personal computing and because he was a real entrepreneur," said a spokeswoman for mayor Jerome Coumet, defending the proposal. "The choice of Steve Jobs is misplaced in light of the heritage he has left behind," communist local councillors said in a statement. "Steve Jobs is not a perfect man, but he has changed our daily lives by popularising computers, the mouse and the smartphone," Coumet said on his Twitter feed.
