Woz's New Startup

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday January 23, 2002 @04:30AM from the stuff-to-read dept.

Several readers noted that Woz has a startup called Wheels of Zeus. He's come out of "Semi Retirement" to work on a new wireless handheld sort of thing. Not a lot of details, but it certainly could shape up to be interesting. Specifically mentions GPS. Supposedly Woz.com will have data eventually, but currently is just really slow and redirecting to Woz's personal page.

Wheels Of Zeus? by ekrout · 2002-01-23 04:33 · Score: 0, Offtopic

That's the best name he could think of for the acronym 'WOZ'? I mean, there are so many other choices:

World Of Zippers
Watch Out, Zacharius
World Otter eZtablishment

Oh, nevermind...

Have you ever had a colonscopy?

Black spots are signs of colon cancer. You should seriously talk about it with your doctor...

Steve,
Please hire me! I can clean your garage, shine your shoes and keep you away from civil aviation!
Seriously, I'd (almost) give my left nut to work for a real geek like Wozniak. Hell, I'd be happy working anyplace where, when you tell your boss it can't be done without a complete rewrite of the codebase and a change in hardware vendors, he doesn't look at you blankly and say, "So, this should take about a week, right?" or where QA was given more than 8 hours to test the new version of the release before it was sent out to the customers.
Oh, and back on target: I could also pick up your drycleaning, Steve. Hire me!

Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.

I'd buy a $150 GPS addon for my Sony Clie. I'd pay $20/month for 56k wireless access on my Sony Clie. I won't pay $70/month for both.

Wrong, look at what giving out no details did for Ginger.
