Steve Wozniak:

“To me, a personal computer should be small, reliable, convenient to use and inexpensive.” [Engadget]

Couldn’t have said it better.

Steve Wozniak hired as advisor for Sony’s Steve Jobs Biopic.

Reuters:

He said [Aaron Sorkin] that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has been hired by the film studio as a “tutor” on all the technical aspects of computers and on Jobs himself.

Wozniak and Jobs founded Apple from a garage in 1976. Wozniak stopped working for the company in 1987 but kept in touch with Jobs until his death.

Hopefuly he will clarify some legends about Jobs, as well as contribute some anecdotes we haven’t heard.

Steve Wozniak: Windows Phone is more beautiful and intuitive than Android, it’s ‘no contest’

He’s so impressed by it, in fact, that he defines the experience of using a Windows Phone as feeling like you’re “with a friend not a tool.” In his mind, navigating Android is a much more cumbersome experience, to the point where he sees “no contest” between that OS and Windows Phone — Microsoft’s software is much more to his liking.

Android looks like a robot threw up on your screen.

The company was called Apple Computer, and a handful of its employees, including founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, were demoing an unreleased machine they called the Apple II.

Ron Wayne: Why I left Apple Computer After Only 12 Days, In My Own Words

To counter much that has been written in the press about me as of late, I didn’t lose out on billions of dollars. That’s a long stretch between 1976 and 2012. Apple went through a lot of hard times and many thought Apple would simply go out of business at various times in its maturity. I perhaps lost tens of millions of dollars. And quite honestly, between just you and me, it was character building.

If I had known it would make 300 people millionaires in only four years, I would have stayed those four years. And then I still would have walked away. Steve and Steve had their project. They wanted to change the world in their way. I wanted to change the world in my own.
