Steve Wozniak

"I went drinking with Gray Powell and all I got was a lousy iPhone prototype."

"I also like to ride Segways. How much fun that is! Anybody think thats fun? I hope so... Theres an awful lot of people in the world that sneer at Segways because other people are having fun. There must be something bad about it. But I always tell people, that hey, these Segways are so environmentally conscious. I carry four of them in the trunk of my Hummer."

"A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things."

"Im surprised at the extent of the bigotry. But it really plays out when companies or schools take a side and prohibit the other platform at all. We Mac users should be good even when the other side is bad. We should do what we can to accept the other platforms. All the best people in life seem to like LINUX."

"Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. Id put myself in the latter category. But Id never call myself a normal designer of anything."

"I never lie, even to this day. Not even a little. Unless you count playing pranks on people, which I dont. Thats comedy. Entertainment doesnt count. A joke is different from a lie, even if the difference is kind of subtle."

"Steve Jobs doesnt use a Mac, and wont, because its too crappy in his opinion."

"Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked."

"Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such. Steve Jobs didnt really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I dont deny that."

"The transition to a GUI, and eventually to one close to a Macintosh, was a far greater step than refinements since. Some of these are just simple alternatives, which cant be over-valued due to increasing the complexity of having less consistency in how things are done. Others of these are more akin to rearranging the furniture. The great change was in becoming a modern GUI machine. In that sense, virtually every machine is a Macintosh now."
