Steve Wozniak has special money printed for him in perforated 3-hole sheets so he has a binder full of money that he just tears $100 bills out of because he's gangsta as gently caress.

This is true except they're $2 bills so he can get an extra layer of "what the gently caress" from whatever helpless retail person he encounters, and then he can smugly explain how this is all technically legal and very normal.

Edit: here's a story about how he got to meet the secret service about this and continued to act insane: http://archive.woz.org/letters/general/78.html

quote:

In the interest of fairness to Led Zeppelin, I want to point out that Zep wasn't the only band to, um, borrow chords, melodies and lyrics from other artists. Here are the Beatles' brushes with suspicious similarity:

"Come Together" - the first two lines are adapted from Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me."
"Fixing A Hole" - Mal Evans cowrote the song with Paul, but took a one-time payment rather than a songwriting credit. Not plagiarism, because Evans was a willing party to the arrangement, but it sure is weird.
"Free As A Bird" - when the Threetles revived this 1977 Lennon demo in 1995, they added a middle section. Unfortunately, they added the middle section from the 1964 Shangri-Las hit "Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)."
"Golden Slumbers" - lyrics adapted from a 17th Century poem by Thomas Dekker.
"I Feel Fine" - main guitar line borrowed from Bobby Parker's "Watch Your Step."
"Run For Your Life" - first line comes from "Baby Let's Play House" as recorded by Elvis Presley.
"Something" - first line is the title of a song by then-Apple recording artist James Taylor
"The Inner Light" - lyrics were lifted, uncredited, from the Tao Te Ching.

Woz was the poo poo. When crazy rear end Steve Jobs said "I have this vague ill defined idea that's probably 5 or 10 years ahead of its time, let's go make it" Woz was all like "OK" and did everything by himself because Jobs was a dumbass who didn't know poo poo about gently caress when it came to electronics or software. He single handedly built the Apple I and did most of the Apple II on his own. That's pretty impressive!

He is also a very weird spergy man, though, so feel free to talk about that too.

But Steve Jobs brought us NeXT, which he then crammed down our collecting throats as OS X (also Mach based) that Apple will never have the guts to get rid of because their poo poo is already hardware compatible with anything Microsoft makes now.

music is all just ripping off something else anyway usually

a riff here or there inspired by something even if directly copied is one thing but having woz do the actual work then taking it and getting paid for it and lying to woz about the money is just straight jacking someone

those beatles "rips" are pretty lovely examples too

oh wow so they paid someone to co-write lyrics? john lennon had a demo in 1977 that was kinda derivative? hard hitting stuff.

meanwhile, oasis just took a t rex riff, slowed it down a little, and called it a day
