Woz visits Microsoft, shares words of wisdom

Woz's appearances in the media have, of late, have revealed more of his prankster hobbies than the seasoned legend of the computer age we know him to be. Recently, the Woz visited none other than Microsoft to give his book tour's speech, and David Weiss of the MacBU blogged some interesting notes from the event. While I'm sure he had his trusty lasers and Segway in tow in one way or another, Weiss's notes refreshingly cover more of the meat from Woz's speech, including remarks on everything from chip design, Steve Jobs' programming abilities (which I'm glad to finally have confirmation on) and the more human side of technology. It's an intriguing post that's making me wish I could drop in on one of his talks.

It is just so sad he's still so bitter about Aplle.
Sure people always talk about Apple with him but if he could say one positive thing about Apple from time to time he would surely hear less about apple.

I've tipped TUAW many times about a film that I've directed that features Woz and *many* Apple legends - but no one picks up. So here goes...
