Woz On Apple's Success

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they've-been-doing-well-lately dept.

Frankenbuffer writes "The Globe and Mail today has a short interview with Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple. Steve muses on spinning off iPod as a separate division. He also questions the move to Intel." From the article: "Microsoft wants to get out of the whole image of the big, black Darth Vader evil guy ... Innovation is probably going on within the company, because any time you put smart engineers in places eventually they wind up talking and innovating no matter how much you try to hold them back. I hope Microsoft improves and becomes more like Apple."

    Industry Comparison: Apple doing better than Dell in terms of operating margin. MS still better 40+%

    ROE very nice!

    I mention this because a couple of years ago I was once with a bunch of mgt types and they were saying that Apple should get out of the PC business because they were an industry laggard. It looks like things have changed.

    Woz tried his hand at a number of enterprises... none of which I can recall.

    Oh, some of the things he did were quite impressive. He invented the unverisal remote control, for one thing.
