Thanks DarkLeaper, that basically sums up the progression.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/
Woz is largely responsible for Apple being in existence today. His Apple II line gave Apple 46% of the home computer market share and almost 100% of schools. The Mac was Jobs' thing, and after its launch and Woz's departure, Apple's market share dropped from 46% to 2%. They've been fighting ever since then for that additional 3-4% that they now have. But as popular as Apple is today, they're an absolute shell of what they were (at least relative to their competitors) during Woz's tenure.

The smartest thing Apple could do would be to bring Woz back, although my understanding is he doesn't particularly want to come back. Jobs, of course, wouldn't have him back in any important capacity - he's too threatened by him.

I have 1 of them (with SSD drive) that we got for free through the city budget (I run a Leopard Server Maclab) and I use my Lenovo X60 way more because it is more accessible and offers 7+ hours of battery life.

The Macbook air has the worst ports I've EVER SEEN. What apple should have done was included a detachable port expander that would plug into the spine - so you could instantly add ETHERNET, 56K, 2 USB's, DVI and a power plug that doesn't have to be plugged in at a STUPID ANGLE.
If they'd done this, they probably could have made it thinner than it already is. ]]>Mar 3rd 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 3rd 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 3rd 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 3rd 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 5th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 3rd 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/Mar 3rd 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/

Woz is teh ballz! Plain and simple... Lets not forget that Woz left for a reason. He's more a man of honor and principle than Jobs would ever be. Jobs was a hippie with a vision, and while he did a good job at what he did, he screwed a lot of people when Apple was getting big and even turned employees against each other on purpose, so Woz left. Woz was the inventor that was all about helping people while making a decent living. Jobs was about getting rich.

"Woz is to Apple as Wesley Crusher/Wil Wheaton is to Star Trek: Lame"
Except without Woz, Apple would never have existed. Star Trek was around long before those Wheaton.

So in short, nutz to all tha haterz...]]>Mar 3rd 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/

so who cares. ]]>Mar 3rd 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/
But Woz also seems to be not constrained by the realities of 3G not being ubiquitous in America yet. Or the battery drain issue, or all the other issues that make 3G not such a great idea at this point. Regardless, Apple has officially said there is a 3G iPhone coming in 2008. So quit yer whinin' and give them some time and you'll get what you want.

Don't forget, Woz also wanted to RFID your kids and pets to GPS locate them. And he had some kind of remote control that was an abject failure in the market. He's not immune to being wrong, or always right about things. He's just a guy who's good a cramming more things into fewer chips. If it hasn't been for Jobs, his computers would have never taken off. So give him his due, but recognize he's not above it all.

I mean, the guy plays Segwey polo fer cryin' out loud!]]>Mar 3rd 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/
"I really think the iPhone should have been half the size, and the screen should have been twice the size and resolution, and it should have had universal WiMax coverage giving it true broadband speeds everywhere on the planet (and some places on the moon!)"

When dealing with the constraints of reality, though, one might have to actually make decisions.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/woz-strikes-again-disappointed-by-iphone-wary-about-macbook-ai/

It's you fanatical Apple haters who have the disconnect with reality. And you don't read much either, or you'd see that 3G IS coming for the iPhone, and that delays were playing into Apple's strategies, not a lack of ability.
