This from the guy who took the $5000 for breakout after Woz stayed up for 4 days straight fixing design issues caused by bad specs from Jobs. Fucking managers.

  You should read the biography to get some context and understanding. I'm not saying that that was wrong, or even that it actually happened, but I'd actually read it before making a comment like that.

  I've noticed some people can't let go of this, so dedicated are they to the idea that Jobs was a charismatic but otherwise worthless manager type. That he was all flash and no substance. A bullshitter. That's too bad.

  Steve Jobs said to Woz that he personally couldn't remember this happening, but that if it happened, then he apologized. Kids do a lot of stupid things. I've done my share of stupid things as well in my early 20s. To vilify him for something he did 30+ years previous and for something he apologized for is ridiculous.

  Do you have a citation for the "design issues" thing, or are you just making that up? It was over 4 days because Bushnell needed the game fast. The design was completely in Woz's hands and the incentive was to do it with as few chips as possible, also from Bushnell. Your claim that Jobs took all the money is a lie. The allegation is he split the original fee with Woz exactly as promised, and simply never told Woz about the bonus. The whole amount was less than $5,000. It amazes me that people are such Apple haters that they will resort to making up such lies in order to bash the guy who created the personal computer industry (along with woz) and helped create everything from the switching power supply to the smartphone.
