When we think of Apple, the image of Steve Jobs immediately pops into our heads. The black turtlenecks, blue denim, and white sports shoes. No one in the world of technology can forget the man. It will be safe to say that a lot has been written and read about Jobs. But when Steve Jobs started Apple in his dad’s garage, there was another person who chipped in equally, or maybe even more (depending on whose version and book you read). A lot has been written about this person as well, and he is pretty much a celebrity in his own right, but there is no denying that being the “other” founder of Apple, he did not get as much as attention as Jobs did in and after his life.
OLAF FUB SEZ: According to Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak, born on this date in 1950, “Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.”

Ricky Sutton, Founder of Oovvuu explores why AI should be viewed as a huge business transformation initiative.
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.
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.
During a keynote at Atlantic Design & Manufacturing 2017, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shared his thoughts on open source, the Maker movement, and why engineers should build for themselves.
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.”
As the co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs, one would think Steve Wozniak has used every product the company has to offer. But there is one he won't touch: the Apple stock app. It's not that there's anything wrong with the app, he just doesn't want to obsess over the roller-coaster ride that is the stock market.
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."
