Woz on Open Source, DRM

destinyland writes "Steve Wozniak just weighed in on DRM, saying "it doesn't make much sense if these things are going to have DRM forever." In this great new interview, he complains that even now, only six songs on his iTunes playlist are DRM-free. He applauds the Open Source Movement, saying "it's very honorable and it's very good for the customers." He's even considering publishing the hand-written code for the Apple II as a manuscript. He's also surprisingly non-commital about the iPhone. ("Will word of mouth kill it or make it a hit? Who knows?") He also talks about his favorite pranks, and reveals that "the Secret Service read me my Miranda rights once.""

To Woz, about Steve and Woz and Apple :"You guys are Adam and Eve of nerds." Its funny, interesting, insightful and can also be flamebait/troll at the same time.

Aye (full frontal nudity warning)

What's Woz done for us lately?

Sure, the Apple II was really cool, but that was a long time ago. Come on Woz, quit it with all these pranks and get back into computers!

My goodness...

...the Woz certainly looks, uh, well-fed. (compared with always-trim Steve Jobs.)
