	Steve Wozniak
		Wozniak's life is entirely linked with that of Steve Jobs, an Eastern-influenced self-loving West-Coast nutjob whose entire career has been spent ignoring the advice of anyone around him and injecting his insane obsessiveness on talented people.
		Wozniak has had his ass dragged into Apple whenever they needed to legitimize the steps they were taking; he's been at a couple shows and at big announcements that needed that extra oomph to push them through, like an actual sense of honesty.
		And when the dealing's done, when the Two Steves shuffle off the mortal coil and receive the accolades, writings, speeches and remembrances of an industry they helped create and the millions of people their work affected, one thing is for sure: they'll remember Jobs, but they'll cry for Woz.

	Steve Wozniak Slams Apple Over IPods, Intel - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak bit into the company yesterday, calling its recent pact with Intel "like consorting with the enemy" and advising it to spin off its iPod business as fast as possible.
		In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Wozniak recalled Apple's (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people) long tradition of "saying the enemy is the big fl-hatted guys." That tradition will be difficult to maintain, he asserted, when Apple computers run on the same chips as Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people).
		From an engineering standpoint, however, Wozniak admitted that the move to use Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people) chips could be beneficial, though he said he still had lingering questions about whether or not the move was truly necessary.

		Steve and I weren't similar personalities, which was strange, but I'm the sort of person that goes along with anyone that wants to talk technology.

		For those of you wondering what Steve Wozniak is up to these days, the answer is nothing—at least when it comes to engineering.
