When I was 20 and 21, I worked with adults in an office all day. Then on weekends I would drive down to the big college where all my friends went and partied my ass off. I spent thousands buying alcohol for all of my broke college friends, and I would do it all again.
Most companies want degrees OR equivalent work experience. I went back to school as a 23 year old and quit soon after because I got tired of professors telling me things that I had taught myself years earlier as part of my job.
In 1999, my company offered an 18 year old summer intern a programming job. He turned us down to attend college. Spending 4 years doing calculus and reading The Count of Monte Cristo was not going to improve his earnings potential. Spending 4 years in a real office doing real programming would have improved his earnings potential.
Wozniak is still an Apple employee with a salary of $120k/year and he still has a bunch of stock. I doubt he has much if any involvement in Apple operations, but saying "he has nothing to do with the company" is not true.
You are correct that he calls them like he sees them, regardless of brand. I generally love Samsung and have owned a bunch of their phones, but the Gear has no interest for me for exactly the reasons Woz states.
He says that at the time he could not find a way to control all of his home entertainment electronics with one device, and money was clearly not an issue for him.
I was shocked to read that. I could see some small, poor country just not having the resources to run a decent network and outsourcing it to a big private company. But Germany? Come on.
Only if your goal is to make electric cars much more expensive. Each Honda Clarity FCX costs about $125,000 to manufacture. I haven't heard about any huge breakthroughs that would make this Toyota significantly less. The manufacturers are willing to take a huge loss on each one for a variety of regulatory and PR reasons. Increasing production from their currently tiny numbers isn't going to decrease the unit cost by that much since lots of exotic materials and components are required.
For recurring costs, hydrogen costs about the same per mile as gasoline. And unless you happen to live right next to one of a few dozen hydrogen refueling stations, you're going to waste a lot of fuel and time driving to and from one. My battery powered car costs a third as much per mile and I car recharge it in my garage.
If enough people want to give EA their money, then they will keep doing what they're doing- and not give a rats ass about what every single person on this site thinks.
If enough people stop giving EA their money, for whatever reason, then their games and sales model will change immediately.
As compared to our political leaders who actually are directly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Arab world?
Citation for a US political leader advocating for or ordering the death of a non-combatant civilian?

This is no time for logic. We're being prompted to bitch about the evil government.
You think that employees of defense contractors make up a plurality of voters?
You think education can only be gained by paying $20,000+ per year to a university?

I moved and couldn't find a good job in the new town, so I went back to school because it seemed like a good idea.

>It doesn't have a cellular radio and neither do that tablets.
What were you actually trying to say? Take a minute and type slowly.
It doesn't have a cellular radio and neither do that tablets.
Tons of tablets have cellular radios. You have no idea what you're talking about.

but in the fine print the watch requires its own subscription and raises your rate by more than the watch is worth.
Citation?
The watch doesn't have a cellular radio, like some tablets do. It can't consume data directly.
It wasn't his property. It was property he was holding for others- thus the reclamation process that the root poster didn't take advantage of.
They ceased to belong to you when the FBI confiscated them.
They don't like the law, because they don't like spending money, just making it.
As opposed to all of those other companies that love spending money and hate making it?
So it's useless for any TVs manufactured after the remote was? That kind of sucks.
How would a non-programmable universal remote work?

He invented the universal remote control.

You misunderstand. Our opinions are correct, and everyone who disagrees is stupid.
And everyone's concept of value is different.

But you authoritarian cheerleaders would rather move to North Korea, I'm sure.
Yeah, you've got me all figured out. Dumbass.

So you don't think Al Qaeda is capable of killing Americans?
