Woz talks to developers at Intel Developer Forum
Steve "Woz" Wozniak is often considered the "God" of Apple. He was the designer of the first ever Apple computers (Apple / & Apple //). At a recent developer forum at Intel, Woz gave a bit of advice to the engineers. He told them that, "the right way of going through life" is pursuing a vision without compromise. "If you have technical ideas, if you know what you're good at, and you know what you're doing is right ... you have to shut them out," Woz said, in reference to others telling you how to do something.
According to InformationWeek, Woz went on to discuss other topics. He talked about being a successful inventor. While on this topic, he admitted that not having money helps the creativity.
InformationWeek has the full details on the interview.

"the dudes writing these blogs are like 15 years old... anyone who is old enough to have used one of these things is at least 35 years old and as such is too much of a square to blog :)"
Actually over 45. I had an Apple ][+ and I'm pushing 50.
Woz, looks like "Tattoo" from Fantasy island in this shot (70's TV show for the young ones here)

Look Boss!!! Da Plane, Da Plane
I think Woz needs to lay off using the segway. He's huge!!!

"Apple //"? "Apple /"? Does anybody do their research around here? It's "Apple I" (or just "Apple" if you *really* want to be accurate) and "Apple ][". The //e is the first one I'm aware of that was spelled with slashes.

I've never seen it spelled Apple //...

Since he married again now it is better.
OMG! God of Apple? That's like the god of all gods! Even above Steve Jobs!
