I quote Steve Wozniak and you say I’m totally wrong. Woz is the inventor of the original Apple duo, and he is still inventing.

Maybe you should attack him, not me.

You have personal knowledge about what?

If you’re under NDA to Apple on one of their projects and you’re telling me Apple doesn’t hire smart people and the team doesn’t contribute anything to the usability and substance of the product, LOL then why are they paying you?

I don’t think you should make Steve Jobs the Princess Diana of the 21st century. He was a man, he did things, he passed and his family and friends mourn him. But he did NOTHING by himself, and you have to credit the very very bright, very very hard working people at Apple,(maybe excluding yourself) for his success. That’s all. The company isn’t going to fold up and blow away now that he is gone. There are still engineers and innovators at the company. That’s all.

Nice way to twist my words.

More than one project. A decade of them.

The smart people he hires are important. I never claimed he wrote the millions of lines of code in MacOSX, though he probably did write several 100,000 of them, as he and just a handful of engineers at NeXT wrote OSX (or it’s precursor if you want to be technical about it).

But when it came to the vision of what the product had to be, he set those goals.

You don’t think he wrote down many of his ideas for the company to continue to pursue? Apple was his project (and Wozniak’s), and without his vision, Apple would have died on the vine -— look at what the PepsiCo CEO did to them before Jobs came back and turned the company into the most valuable company in the world.

One can only hope that the team he left behind to be his brain in his absence can live up to his level. Especially Apple investors.

You are either dense or a troll, which is it?
