Steve Wozniak Comments On Jobs Resignation Announcement

Wozniak: "Steve needs now to just have some 'Steve time'. He deserves it."<p>I worry about this. Brilliant minds wholly obsessed with their work often do not take retirement well, or long. As in:<p>- A week before "Eyes Wide Shut" completed post-production, Stanley Kubric died.<p>- A week after ending 50 years of "Peanuts", Charles Schultz died.<p>Other examples exist.<p>Better indeed he remain on the BoD of Apple in a controlling role, and/or have some other deep involvement suitable for his health. Berkley Breathed has ended Opus' forum (under whatever name) at least four times; restarting has been good for him. May jobs continue to live and breathe Apple for a long time to come, as it is his air.

Every time I see an old picture of the Steves, Woz looks like a hacker and Jobs looks like a rock star.

According to thenextweb.tumblr.com, Wozniak also said this during the interview:<p>"Steve was very fast thinking and wanted to do things, I wanted to build things. I think Atlas Shrugged was one of his guides in life."<p>My own personal experience is that there are some very powerful ideas in that book. It's gratifying to see that great people like Woz and Jobs also think so.<p>Edit: Why is this being downvoted? It is an actual quote from the interview with Woz, with attribution. It's on-topic, and it helps complete the picture of what he actually said. How is that a bad thing? Why bowdlerize Woz?

Here's the source of the comments, minus the CultOfMacSpamTabloid trash around it:<p><a href="http://www.informationweek.com/byte/news/personal-tech/tablets/231600122" rel="nofollow">http://www.informationweek.com/byte/news/personal-tech/table...</a>

I was surprised when Woz said on Bloomberg TV that him and Steve aren't as close as they used to be. He said that he's been finding out this news by reading like everyone else has. That's kind of sad to me. I would of thought they'd still be close friends.

“You’ve got to remember. He was surrounded by great, great people at Apple… and those people are still there."<p>Sounds like Steve's team gets a tick of approval from the Woz, that bodes well for the future of the company.
