The Woz, how can you not love the guy? He's like your favorite uncle, who just never quite grew up. Well back in January he appeared on Charlie Rose, presumably as part of publicity for his book, iWoz. They discuss a variety of interesting topics, including Apple and the other Steve. According to Woz, what makes Jobs special is that he "understand[s] what the human wants" so that "the human doesn't have to tangle" with the technology. Woz contrasts himself to Jobs, saying of the latter that "he wanted to change the world; he wanted to bring computing to the masses" whereas "all [Woz] wanted to do was design the hottest computer so that every engineer in the world would look at [him] and say, 'wow!'" They go on to talk about his philanthropy and other things as well.Definitely fun stuff for the Apple fan, and pure vintage Woz. Check it out on Google Video.

Oh, please show me the video of the new 'Get a Mac' ad that I saw tonight on TV. Another slam on Vista. I can't find it anywhere on the interweb.

Yeah, the Wozbeast really is one weird-looking mofo. Remember that Datsun ad someone found and posted about a month ago? I think he looks less weird now than then, though.
