Christie's New York sold the computer to an unidentified buyer. The computer was built by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in Jobs' garage in the Silicon Valley in Los Altos, Calif. It launched Apple into the personal computer industry and led to desktops, laptops, cellphones and watches. Forty-one years later, Apple is the world's most valuable brand at $170 billion, according to Forbes in May.
Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Woz said that, “I just love [my Apple Watch]. I love every time I use it. It helps me. I love it so much … I don’t like to be one of those people who pulls phones out of pockets.”
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak revealed in an interview with CNBC that he too, invested in Bitcoins back to when the price per coin was at $700. Since early 2017, Bitcoin has tripled its price and recently reaching an all time high of above $3,000. Though there are still several uncertainties and speculations that Bitcoin is a bubble, Wozniak seems to believe that Bitcoin has some growth factor to it.

As the co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs, one would think Steve Wozniak has used every product the company has to offer.

Steve Wozniak has a formula for happiness, and it doesn't involve money. In fact, he's been using it since before he co-founded Apple: "'Smiles minus frowns' was my original formula when I was about 20 years old," says Wozniak, who appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box on Monday.
Speaking at the 2016 awards, global judge Steve Wozniak commented that he was excited to be able to identify the next generation of innovative companies who are making a positive impact on society. "The Talent Unleashed Awards are there to represent people who have had ideas, started companies, and created products that do good for society," said Steve Wozniak. "I decided to judge this because innovation is so key in my life - especially people who are humble and just have an idea - and I love to follow good ideas."
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has arguably been called "The inventor of the personal computer." But even if you believe that the title belongs to one of the pioneers before him — you can't deny Wozniak's contribution to modern-day computers. With all of that success, you would think that Woz would want that achievement to be engraved on his tombstone. Instead, he wants to be remembered for the quality of his work, and not his achievements. Following is a transcript of this video.
Arguably, the most highly anticipated speaker of the day was the one and only Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computers, who pointed out several times during his Q
