- Skrolnik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Remember, this is the same guy who rushed right out to get the 1-888-888-8888 phone number when the 888 area code came open. He ended up dropping it, because he got tired of getting random calls (mostly from todlers who had knocked phone receivers off the hook and then were randomly button mashing), but repeating numbers is a very strong meme for the Woz.
- skabyss, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6666 has nothing to do with Satan, it was a secret way for early Christians to spread propaganda about Caesar Nero. You can use Roman alphabet to convert any name into a number, the Roman version of Nero numbers out to be 616, while the Greek version of his name (Neron) would number out to be 666. So that pretty much confirms it doesn't it?
Kids these days make me laugh because they will put 666 all over their personal belongings not even knowing what it really means, the just want to be 'evil'. - uncle_dad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If you're SATAN!
- Rendezvous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I find it ironic that a video story about an Apple co-founder does not have a Quicktime video option.
- pijalu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ok, but 000.00 is easier to pay...
- Malakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I do this when I use my microwave, I'll hit 3-3-3 instead of 3-3-0 if I want 3 and a half minutes. It's just easier.
- whiskeyclone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Woz is a legend. How can you not respect a man that plays Segway Polo as his primary sport? Wish I was going on the Geek Cruise.

People will ask, "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I'll say, "Just press two for a while. When I answer, you'll know that you've pressed two long enough." --The late and great Mitch Hedberg
- Maagic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1funny because the bible never mentions an apple specifically, or a snake. Just a "fruit" and a "serpent". It is my believe that Eve ate a forbidden nectarine at the behest of a quadriplegic gila monster
- grayson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAHA. Woz is awesome.
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Ick... Real(ly dodgy)player and Windows Media Player... I don't know which is worse."
HAHA I hear ya... but I also can assure you, Real "One" is far, far worse ;-) - nuXan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How bizarre! My home address is 46663. I think we have a connection here.
- kiwimonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"and since a large portion of the US population things 666 is the mark of the beast then that is what it means today"
Just because the majority of americans think something.. Certainly does not make it true. hah. - toyotaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm not a fan of apple, I don't use apple, but for some reason I like wozniak. When he was on that "inventor" show on TBS, he had some really good critiques and suggestions, and you just get feeling he's a really intelligent and creative guy.

I used to, but we got a new microwave where any button 1-6 does that many minutes... hehehe :) - Batou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL;
He's hillarious. If you haven't heard it you should download the This Week in Tech episode with him on it. - rebrad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It was of course easier. Did Satan really give them any other choice? Now that we know Apple's legacy what else do we need to know?
- chiklit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think I remember him or someone else talking about that on the screen savers. And also getting the phone number 222-2222.
- Linuxrocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I call BS Apple is obviously an evil company.
- v0id, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who could balme him? im a lazy basterd myself,, cant believe im typing this,, thats effort.
- t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ick... Real(ly dodgy)player and Windows Media Player... I don't know which is worse. No digg.
- veracon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is HUGE news!
- LooterMcBeer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0~~~~"I do this when I use my microwave, I'll hit 3-3-3 instead of 3-3-0 if I want 3 and a half minutes. It's just easier."~~~~
I do the same thing being a lazy ass rules doesnt it lol. My girlfriend just shakes her head like you are too damn lazy to reach down and inch and press 0 - elroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kids these days make me laugh because they will put 666 all over their personal belongings not even knowing what it really means, the just want to be 'evil'.
...actually they're writing 999 on their belongings, and it's YOU who is out of the loop as to what it means. - JayRod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This reminds me of the Pentium III days. When the Pentium III was going to hit 666Mhz they decided to clock it at 667Mhz. It was the time when the Pentium (a.k.a coppermine) chips went back to the socket design instead of the slot design. I believe the same was done with DDR memory.

There's more to it...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast - RadiatedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I dont type numbers on my microwave aanymore, good ol minute button
- SUPAY76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my uncle was born on 6/6 and this year he is going to be 66. We are trowing a big party and we call it the devil's party, he doesn't mind at all. he said he is going to dress up as the devil. i love my demented uncle
*DIGGNAUT - drewjoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, what kiwimonk said.
- freonchill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0actually... 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
666 * 666* 666 = 1998 (oddly, the year of the goat)
but its not satanic 666 would be, but 666.66 isnt, and anyway - 666.66 would ROUND to 667 if you wanted whole numbers, since its the power of 3, not 5; its not the musketeers - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hahaaaa -- nice :)
- rfernandez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Isn´t that speeeeeecial....... if you are SATAN!!!!!!!
- devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He is all about efficiency. I can totally believe that. He also bought a pad of money from the mint, cut it up himself, made it into a pad so he could keep his money neatly organized and if he needed a bill he would tear it off like a post it note. A cop thought he was counter fitting once because the serials were consecutive.
He also met his wife on the joke telephone service he set up.
Segway polo rocks. What a crazy cool guy.
More to the topic. The apple logo is the apple from the garden of Eden. It is the apple of knowledge with a bite out of it. You could speculate that the the evil price is tempting you to take a bite out of this apple. - Kitsune818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0.. or Faust or Dante for that matter.
- dancurranjr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually - 666 is not the number of the beast
http://www.danielcurran.com/2005/10/666-is-number-of-oh-wait-its-not.php - fugitivALiEN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0mrops... that's REALLY lazy ;)
- Kitsune818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's amazing how many things people "know" from the Bible that aren't in there at all.. So much Zoroastrian stuff floats around and a lot of bible-thumpers think its in there.. Hell, I'm surprised Milton isn't canonical yet. :/
- MusicLoverInGA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hey skabyss, who cares what the original meaning was over 1000 years ago. Its what it means NOW that is important. And since a large portion of the US population things 666 is the mark of the beast then that is what it means today....
in any event, 666 only has meaning to you if you are superstitious.... - mohrt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"fff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff ff"
66 66666 66 6666 66 66666 6666! - poipoipoi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0ALSO, if you add 6 + 6 +6, you get 47 1/2, the number of inches around his rummy tum-tum in the year 2002!
- wolfger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Anybody who is worried about the number 666 (and furthermore confuses it with the number 666.66) has way too much time and way too little brains.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I bet he is really lazy in bed..
"Well i've done it this way since I was a teenager.. it's just easier" - linuxrebel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Talk about Irony... Car just hit 66666 miles this evening ... hmmm that's 2 occurances of the number.
- rc_collins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0It is documented that he is a Satanist..
--dan - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0OMG I WAS 6 YEARS OLD ONCE, I AM BLATANTLY THE TRUE DESCENDANT OF STEVE WOZNIAK
[/parody of the pleb above] - mrops, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0fff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff fffff ff ffff fff f ff f ff ff
