#2In a number of ways I think Woz actually seems like an interesting fit for Microsoft, in terms of compatibility of culture and bringing values to the table that could move the business forward.
I'd be quicker to buy stock in Microsoft if Woz were signing on, than I would Apple.

#3I'm impressed to see a news article about Apple actually list Ronald Wayne as one of the original founders.
He might be the fifth Beatle in some ways, but he was there at the start.

#4"In this episode, while investigating the 75 year old wreck of a Federation transport vessel, the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise-D crew discovers the former Chief Engineer of the Constitution class starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701, Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), alive in a transporter buffer. After being cleared by Dr. Crusher, Scott is eager to see the advances in technology including a tour of the Engineering deck, but quickly finds that his old knowledge has long been surpassed and his efforts to help are instead getting in the way of normal operations..."

Like Monte Davidoff at Microsoft.

Indeed, Apple is no longer a tech company, they are now a brand like Coke and Nike.

#8This is a very typical Woz story. A reporter asks Woz a hypothetical question. Woz gives an honest answer. Reporter ignores the statistical insignificance of the hypothetical scenario and reports result as if it has 100% probability of happening.
This happens to many great thinkers.
Obligatory made-up scenario:
Reporter: "If you were in a plane crash in the Andes and the only food you could find was bodies of dead passengers would you eat them?"
Thinker: "Hmm.. interesting hypothetical scenario. It is of course impossible to know what anyone would do in such a situation without experiencing it, but it is obvious that the logical thing to do is to eat the bodies so you can be strong enough to seek help. Whether I personally could eat a human is not yet proven."
Reporter: "Cannibal!!!"

Indeed! Tablets have been around for years and suddenly there's an Apple logo on one and the fanboys act like it's some sort of technical advance....
