Yeah, HN is on the crazy smart scale. I have this theory that once you reach a certain level of 'intelligence' you become so smart that you're actually dumb. What I mean by this is that you've lost touch with how everyone else lives their lives that your ideas are ahead of the curve and you actually need to hold off on implementing them because the timing is not right.
Somewhere between the Newton and the iPod Steve Jobs lost enough intelligence that he's now a visionary where as in the 90s he was being mocked on SNL for the Newton. The alternative is that he stopped producing computers for producers and started creating them for consumers.
Woz on the other hand is still so crazy smart that he rides a Segway.
