The behind the bastards episode will teach you a lot about this piece of shit. Wozniak is the genius, this is just another predatory businessman. Good riddance.
Yknow, while I 90% agree with you there seems to be some element between the technical genius (Wozniak) and the idiot businessman that is Tim Apple.
Jobs may have been a piece of shit but there’s something to be said for the uncompromising non-technical focus on UX that allowed Jobs to make the iPhone a success.
Sure Wozniak invented the Apple I and II. But if he never met Jobs his inventions would have stayed a hobby and Apple would have never existed. Woz also didn’t push for an OS with a GUI (which was revolutionary back then) that was Jobs’ idea. Not to mention that Woz had nothing to do with Apple’s comeback. He has been an honorary employee since Jobs was fired. Woz is a genius but people give him way too much credit just like they do with Jobs.
"Invent" is the wrong term, it's "design".
a new idea is an invention, the implementation is a design.
Wow, they made 4 episodes about him, each over an hour long.
Haven't listened to Behind The Bastards but will give this one a listen.
Oh boy, welcome to the Bastards club. Brought to you by Raytheon and Blue Apron.
If you like that they're all pretty solid, but I recommend you check out the MKULTRA episodes. I thought I knew about it, I didn't know the half of it. I didn't even know about the one way mirror masturbatorium.
Still remeber an interview to Buffet in his time when he used to hang with Bill Gates.
It surprised me he considered Gates a talented investor, like he shouldn't supposed to be. I mean Warren, Bill is an investor as much as you are. Even Buffet was confused from the "tech nerd" aura of Bill.
Same with Jobs, Musk and so on. They're just good investors (and usually despicable persons).
Im sure the iPod was Wozniaks idea.
