Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Woz made some pretty awesome stuff. The Apple II is one of the most important pieces of technology created. That said, Jobs is the one who figured out how to make billions of dollars out of it, so really, who's the genius?





The answer is Woz because Jobs decided to cure his easily curable cancer with voodoo and fruits.

A good story is how a young Jobs got Woz to solve complex circuit problem but then lied about the reward so Job could claim most it for himself.

Yup even at a young age you could pretty much tell that Steve Jobs was upper management material.

I thought he had pancreatic cancer, and was about to go on a rant about how that is one of the hardest cancer to treat but then it turns out he had a neuroendocrine variant that's potentially curable but he willfully ignored all medical advice and opted for magical tofu

what a colossal retard

Everyone knows that story. They worked at Atari and their boss wanted them to reduce the circuit count or chips or whatever for a game. Steve lied about the money and pocketed most of it. Woz doesn't remember but that's because his brain is swiss cheese.

Jobs' doctor was also a family friend, and he literally cried with joy when giving Jobs the diagnosis because this was the only kind of pancreatic cancer with good treatment and survival options. Imagine his face when Jobs said "Nah, no treatment, I'm going to eat fruit and meditate it away."

Jobs died like his products die: a unibody enclosure without any seams at the expense of easy repair options.

Also one of the few good things about SV is it has good medical care options and lots of cutting edge research at places like Stanford/UC Berkley.

However in typical west coast fashion Jobs instead decided to stick with alternative quack cures.

if you have a segway and you drive/ride whatever it through an area with a lot of people on segways do they end up following you or is it just is the wozniak guy does it

yes they form a group and charge at each other like rams until a leader is selectd and then they continue on their journey together
families have been torn apart in this manner, patriarchs and matriarchs leaving home and never returning

intellectual property funneled into the municipal void from atop a self-driven chariot epitomizes consumer tech. urinals are really just terminals used to access the sewers of the collective. sinks are for pissing only when there's already a stallman, and someone is pooping in the only urinal.

As much as I hate segways, it's nice seeing someone who isn't being coy about the fact they're too lazy to walk.

a tour of a segway seems like it would be pretty short but i guess tourists will pay for anything

my campus had regular segway tours right through the middle of it. it was both hilarious and annoying as gently caress.

I'd like to imagine that Jobs died cursing his own stupidity, but like most successful corporate sociopaths he seems to have been incapable of rational self doubt
