Woz was a great engineer, but for the most part his accomplishments ended with the Apple II. After that he didn't do work of much significance. The various companies he started after Apple faded into obscurity.
On the other hand Steve Jobs created NeXT and managed Pixar, both of which are of great significance. Steve Jobs then came back to rebuild Apple and had a number of products that greatly affected the industry.
Probably better to get one of the more up to date books, 'The Second Coming of Steve Jobs' or 'iCon: Steve Jobs'. The truth is that Steve Jobs had many successes and failures. It is probably his failures at NeXT which helped shaped his success the second time at Apple.
I don't think anyone managed Steve, although I'm sure he responded to feedback. He was both CEO and chairman of the board. Apparently when the semi-transparent iMac was proposed, many hardware engineers objected, but he pushed the project through.
This is off topic, but other tech sites have been covering the death of Dennis Ritchie for hours, there are a multitude of submissions in the firehose, yet this hasn't been published yet. What gives?
I don't see why this comment was modded informative. The original iPod had less storage space than the Nomad, but it was smaller and had higher transfer rates. Definitely not "objectively inferior".
If you read the article you'd see that one of the points of this project is to rebuild houses after disasters, so in that case the people already own the land.
Actually, it did pass the review process. It was available on the app store for a couple of hours before Apple pulled it. Whoever reviewed it probably wasn't playing close attention.
The article doesn't go into it, but is the earthquake aftershock prediction actually any good? I haven't heard about it and the article doesn't mention anything about the accuracy.

Apple also takes %30, but they don't have a system for indie musicians.

Not Free, Open Source. RMS would tear you a new asshole for failing to properly distinguish the two.
Here is a good article about Edwin Land the development of the Polaroid SX-70:

I dismember that too. Damn we is old.
As far as can be determined only his character in the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!" said that:

Please, no. Have you even heard Woz speak lately? He doesn't even sound like a man who should be running his own household.

I don't see how you can conclude that given the link you've provided.

Samsung also outsources some of its production. Some to China, some to India, some to other countries.
Is there a manufacturer left building phones or computers in the US? I don't know of one.
Is there a manufacturer left not doing some of its production in third-world countries?

I think you found a business model.
Try putting quotes around the expression and see how many results you get.
Note that the specific phrase "floating houses" gets less than 300,000 hits.
Alan Kay came up with the idea of the Dynabook before he joined Xerox PARC, but it was a concept, never produced.

Why would the non-existence of Exxon hurt Apple? There are plenty of other oil companies around.
Damn. I meant Android 3.0.
> Google has GPLed Android.
The Linux OS and the kernel patches are GPL. The rest of the OS was under the Apache license, at least for Android 3.0.
I think Samsung only has pull in Korea. They both have a lot of money to throw around.
