Woz urges engineers to follow their hearts
- JesseAldridge 18y agoBest part: "He was a prankster, but because he didn't boast, he only got caught once in high school. While spending the night in a juvenile detention facility as a result, he taught the prisoners how to take the electrical leads from the ceiling fan, wire them to the jail cell, and shock the guards."
- stcredzero 18y agoContrast this to Richard Feynman, who once avoided getting caught by boasting. http://starsending.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!420D430F8E7933EB!148.entry http://starsending.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!420D430F8E7933EB...
- dryicerx 18y agoWoz sure is definitely my greatest inspiration, simply because he is a engineer to the bone, a lot easier and sensible to connect with him than Jobs or Gates or any of the other tech giants. I went to the talk by him when he came to visit Cisco a few weeks back, and it was really awesome. A true hacker.

- azharcs 18y agoAs the Apple computer's designer, Wozniak got employee No. 1. "Sometimes I go into an Apple store and say 'I'm an employee, I get a discount.' They say, 'What's your number?'" Woz was the one who created Apple, machine was way more important than ideas to sell it. Apple II pretty much started the "Computers for Normal People" revolution.
