I'm surprised woz wouldn't have the connections to get pre-IPO stock. Or maybe he did just that.

When 36% of your revenue comes from one customer, I would say they are the greatest thing ever, too.

“I would invest in Facebook” isn't exactly the same as "I will invest in Facebook."

With that title, I was expecting it to be a The Onion article.

That was how I saw the pecking order at ASU. Obviously a smart guy can go into any field. Harvard school of business has higher standards. I'm not telling you anything people don't know. Soft science is generally less smart people than hard science. God says... C:\Text\BIBLE.TXT his name? what shall I say unto them? 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, ---- math skill gets the respect. nerds often get mocked for poor social skills. A nerd might have no idea just how far he lags. If he realized it was actually IQish, he might care more. IQ is what nerds worship. I think everybody grows to appreciate wisdom, once they know what it is. ---- You can imagine your own pecking order -- I hope I don't change anybody's. I respect the physics math the most -- Calculus more or less. I have no intuition on an eigenvector. I tried building intuition with limited luck. Adjoint matrices and transforms simply fry my brain. The thing is, though, by the time I got to my master's studies, I had invested all my freetime for ten years in computers and only 2 years in E.E. so it seemed harder and more impressive. As you invest more time, you master it. What you have mastered ceases being a big deal and can distort how you view the world. Kalman, of Kalman filter fame went into economics, I heard. Economics is what God said He is most better than us at. Everybody grows-up with different heros they admire. Boy those adjoint matrices! It's like being able to draw the scribble for a number but having no idea what the number is.

"I would" invest in Facebook, Wozniak said in an interview ... Wozniak is chief scientist at Fusion-io Inc. ... Facebook makes up 36 percent of Fusion-io’s revenue This is what I read.
