Steve Jobs

[edit]

From the article: "In fact, the first Jobs heard about him leaving was in a piece in The Wall Street Journal."

From the source: "Steve probably heard I was leaving the day a piece came out in The Wall Street Journal."

Nitpicky, I know.

"CL 9" or "CL9"?

[edit]

Which is it? With a blank or not? We should be consistent. Rees11 (talk) 03:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CL 9 is what he used in his book, iWoz. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 14:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It's also on the patent. I've changed most references in the article. Rees11 (talk) 16:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two things

[edit]

In "Origins": "He told his boss' boss, Wayne Rosing, about his decision to leave, but not Apple co-founder and friend, Steve Jobs." Has Jobs still been his friend at that time? Here... http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/hackers/steve-wozniak/ ...it sounds like since Jobs lied to him and Wozniak found out, you couldn't call them friends anymore. But when did he find out?

In "CORE remote control": "It had an LCD display," It would be good linguistic style to say "It had an LCD,", since the "D" already stands for "display". --217.85.251.182 (talk) 13:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed "display" per your comment, but things like that, you can change yourself (be BOLD), you don't have to bring them up for discussion.
As far as your first issue, in iWoz, Wozniak says that he found out that Jobs lied to him about a fee for creating Breakout with the fewest number of chips possible. Jobs told him it was $5000, and he split the money 50/50 with Woz. Later Woz found out he really got paid something like $15,000, and kept the extra $10,000 for himself. But he went on to say that he didn't hold it against Jobs. After all, by creating Apple, Jobs made Woz a multi-millionaire (a fortune which keeps growing even today). But when Woz left Apple, he and Jobs were occasionally in contact, but not bosom buddies. So he told his manager as required by policy, but if was still good friends with Jobs, he would have told him directly as well. In iWoz he probably describes his relationship with Jobs at that point, but it's been a while since I've read it. I'll try to find it when I get time.
But Jobs definitely took Woz's leaving as a personal affront, and took revenge, but that's another issue. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 14:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
