- megamod, on 10/07/2008, -14/+61It's funny that even HE hates how random and strict Apple is on app functionality allowed.
- ClarkNoHeart, on 10/08/2008, -7/+46Woz is getting big.
Physically. - jwolcott, on 10/08/2008, -5/+31THE WOZ!
- Shadoblak, on 10/08/2008, -6/+29I miss Steve Wozniak :/
Wozniak>Jobs - TehDoctor, on 10/08/2008, -2/+16Woz has always had pretty fundamental disagreements with how Apple is run. That's why he doesn't really work there anymore. Jobs is a flaming *****, too controlling.
I'm not saying Apple would be where it is today if Jobs weren't a flaming *****, but he is, and engineers don't like that. - oblique63, on 10/08/2008, -3/+16I wonder if he still has his pimpin' belt buckle...

- ligyron, on 10/08/2008, -10/+19I hope the bury brigade is on schedule this time
- CoreyTamas, on 10/08/2008, -5/+13Being overshadowed by the iPod isn't the Zune's only problem.
- Hawtshot, on 10/08/2008, -1/+9Is Steve Jobs pimpin' a popped collar?
- aydoubleyou, on 10/08/2008, -3/+10From the end of the article:
"Consumers aren't getting all they want when companies are very proprietary and lock their products down," he says when comparing the iPhone's closed operating system to the new Google phone's open source system which allows anyone to modify and adapt the way the phone works. "I would like to write some more powerful apps than what you're allowed," he laments. - Macintoshreader, on 10/08/2008, -2/+9Actually, its in 3rd place. Apple has 73% of the Portable Media Player market covered and San Disk follows.
- ATLien74, on 10/08/2008, -2/+9The Woz, telling it like it is! I love this guy!
- dave_colorado, on 10/08/2008, -6/+12honestly, woz is tiring these days. what does he even contribute anymore than asinine analysis?
if he's got so many great ideas he should go out and build them. i'm so tired of this guy. thanks for your contributions 30 years ago. Now what have you done for me lately? - TheWorm, on 10/08/2008, -5/+11The Zune doesn't bring anything new to the market either.
- redwallhp, on 10/08/2008, -0/+5Woz has always been for openness, like the Apple II's open slot-based design. Jobs has leaned more towards sealed-up, non-open systems.
- Michaelabehsera, on 10/08/2008, -5/+9Hands down one of the smartest ppl of the century
- KingGorilla, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4two of them?
- TehDoctor, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4Moron, did you read my whole post? Apple would not exist without that dickface and his rabid desire to sell everything Woz made. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, and I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining why Woz disagrees with a lot of Apple's choices. And honestly, Apple could be run a lot more loosely by Jobs without losing it's flair, but he'd never do it.
- Wilddigi, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4Why would he know?
- MrViklund, on 10/08/2008, -2/+5You don't have to be a part of it if you don't like it. Apple does not want to be a Microsoft and Apple will hardly die. That is just some bitter opinion. If you like Windows. Keep on writing for it. Every one should do what they like.
- positron, on 10/08/2008, -1/+4Looks like somebody bought AAPL on the downturn.
- Galaxylander, on 10/08/2008, -2/+5I agree, and I love how he's doing market predictions for Apple, when Woz himself has admitted that he sucks ass at marketing anything. Apple never would've taken off without Jobs to market it.
- RobotBuddha, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3He's rich, old, and a computer geek. I think a person like that can be expected to be fat in pretty much any country.
- MrViklund, on 10/08/2008, -2/+4I can't play my Zune subscription music on my iPod. I think Microsoft has monopoly on Zune marketplace...
- RobotBuddha, on 10/08/2008, -1/+3I don't think he'd have any fun, or satisfaction in doing it like that though.
- megamod, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2wtf...how did you know? someone is gotta teach me this *****.
- kriptonian, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2yeah, all their chinese workers say that
- ThaDRD, on 10/08/2008, -1/+3FTA:
While many companies would give their all for such strong customer loyalty, both Mr Wozniak and Mr Jobs "don't like the fact that it's a bit of a religion".
"I would like to have the users influence the next generation," he says. "With a religion you're not allowed to challenge anything. I want our customers to challenge us."
So fanboys, stop being fanboys. - edalytical, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2Really that's not far from reality! I don't know of a single person that wears one. I already have a cell phone that tells me time. I don't need another device to duplicated functionality I already have.
On the other hand, a simple remote control might be nice for things like snowboarding. This device would attach to the outside of my glove and would enable me to control my iPod, or make calls from my iPhone while on the mountain. That way, I'd have no need to remove my gloves and fish my iPhone out of some pocket. - nafnosseb, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1hey hongkongjapie...Australia you say?
- freebird09, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Say ti again! I'm sure you'll get dugg up next time!
- galahan, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Net effect of "Apple - Woz"
Net effect of "Apple - Jobs" - soapandfoam, on 10/08/2008, -2/+3that did catch my eye, the fact that he actually praised the google phone over the 3G phone, I hope he does insist on some of the changes for future iphone apps being open source.
- PrometheusBorn, on 10/08/2008, -5/+6Wahhh... I'm an engineer. Wahhhh... don't tell me what I should do with my design, let me just go off on a tangent with your money and design design design.
/s
BTW, I am an engineer. And I appreciate capable leadership and direction leading to business success than a thick headed engineer. - Wilddigi, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1The guy is Steve Job's homeboy

Free international shipping. Superior customer service. Not so sure about the quality of the gadgets though, but most are adequate. - Ryar, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Apparently, Woz doesn't own a lot of stock in Apple...
- Me1000, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1You could just look at your phone... Contrary to popular belief, you will not crash the plane if you have an electronic device turned on...
- hongkongjapie, on 10/08/2008, -2/+3Does anyone still care about what 'the Woz' has to say? I admit, he had a big hand in the creation of Apple and was a good engineer and developer, but besides the initial apple products what else can we tribute to woz? The universal remote and segway polo?
Although I would love to see Apple moves away from tightly controlling every aspect of their platforms, Apple as it is today is a reflexion of Steve and not Woz. As seeing the end of ipod dominance? Here in Australia it seems like half of the electric appliances sold nowadays have an ipod dock, haven't ever seen a zune dock or even someone with a zune. If somebody has an mp3 player other than ipod it is most often their mobile or a no-name cheapo chinese thingy. Maybe the market in the US is different or I manage to look at the wrong places. Does anyone have a reliable marketshare pie of mp3 players? - mrBitch, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1@pcpimpster RE: " Windows Mobile has gotten its share of the market for the short time its been playing. "
What? Windows Mobile has had many years in the mobile market space, and over the last few years it's market share has almost HALVED ( from 20% down to 12% of the market).
At least try to do some background reading before you just make up random *****. - RobotBuddha, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1It's easy enough to get a wrist strap to hold a touchscreen smart phone. The fact that any woman within eyesight will run away at top speed makes it a less than desirable choice though.
- bipolarruledout, on 10/08/2008, -1/+2All of intelligence with less vapid cool and smug.
- FBMGriever, on 10/08/2008, -5/+6I think I speak for all of us when I say, "Woz is the man."
- superjamie, on 10/08/2008, -2/+3Why do people keep asking Woz about Apple? The turtleneck-sweater company who make iPods and iPhones is vastly different to the company he and Jobs started, making Apple IIs in his garage. Buried, irrelevant.
- MrViklund, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Apple is the best company ever!
- mrBitch, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1Good point, and Microsoft now owns Sidekick.
- artofficial, on 10/08/2008, -1/+2I don't know about you man but when I hit up some backcountry I turn all that ***** off.
- ronerx, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1MUST HAVE iWATCH wait, What?
