<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2646" title="leopard-iphone-woz" src="http://dedosnoteclado.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/leopard-iphone-woz.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="188" />Não é que Woz tem encontrado trabalho predizendo o futuro, mas como pai da tecnologia moderna, sempre nos interessa saber qual é sua opinião. Em uma entrevista ao The Telegraph, o tio Woz diz que "os iPods tem vivido uma longa vida como número um, coisa como, sem olhar o passado, rádios de transistores e Walkmans, morrem depois de um tempo... baixam de preço e depois já não vende". Certamente é uma declaração interessante, e considerando que a última atualização de iPods não foi muito inovadora, entendemos seu ponto de vista.</p>
<p><!--more-->De todas as maneiras, não compartilhamos de seu modo de pensar. Os Walkmans e rádios foram produtos únicos, que não mudaram muito com o passar do tempo. Os iPods tem mudado e melhorado, e agora até são uma plataforma independente que faz muito mais que reproduzir música. Também há que considerar a importância do iTumes, que goste ou não, é uma das maiores e importantes lojas virtuais do mundo. Não vamos dizer que as coisas nunca mudão, e que algum dia um competidor poderá dominar o mercado (equipamentos como o Zune está cada vez melhor). Não duvidamos que a Apple competirá e evoluirá sem problema, e por isso é difícil pensar que os iPods morrerão. </p>

<p>Wired is reporting that Woz is out there chatting about the iPod:</p>
<p>"Wozniak said the iPod, Apple's most successful product, has peaked in popularity and its sales will inevitably slow down.<br />
"The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he told the Telegraph. "Things like, that if you look back to transistor radios and Walkmans, they kind of die out after a while.... It's kind of like everyone has got one or two or three. You get to a point when they are on display everywhere, they get real cheap and they are not selling as much."</p>
<p>Awww, come on Woz, you are probably like me and just ticked off waiting for a new macBook!

<p><a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/07/apple_co_founder_says_ipod_has_about_run_its_course.html">Apple co-founder believes iPod has about run its course</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak this week likened the iPod to a fad whose days atop the consumer electronics market are numbered while lamenting the limitations of the iPhone 3G, for which he'd like to write certain applications but can't due to restrictions.</strong></p>
<p>"The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he told <em>The Telegraph</em> in <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/3145691/Steve-Wozniak-interview-iconic-co-founder-on-the-iPod-iPhone-and-future-for-Apple.html">an exclusive interview</a>. "Things like that, if you look back to transistor radios and Walkmans, they kind of die out after a while."</p>
<p>He also spoke out about the direction Apple has chose for the iPhone, specifically the limitations the company has imposed on developers, which, in his opinion, stifle innovation.</p>
<p>"Consumers aren't getting all they want when companies are very proprietary and lock their products down," he said, arguing in favor of Google's open approach to the Android platform that offers developers more freedom. "I would like to write some more powerful apps than what you're allowed."</p>

<p><!-- E IIMA --><strong>The co-founder of one of the world's iconic companies is a reluctant billionaire who wanted to be an engineer first and a boss last.</strong></p>
<p>The man in question is Steve Wozniak, the designer of the first Apple computer and its successor in his spare time.</p>
<p>He learned basic electronics from his father and knew by the time he was at high school that he wanted to be an engineer for life.</p>
<p>"I read books about a young engineer who owned a company with his father. Whenever there was a catastrophe in the world, he went into the lab and worked sometimes for two weeks silently. When he would come out of the door he had a device that solved the problem.</p>
<p>"That's when I said: 'Wow, engineering lets you build things that solve problems'."</p>
<p><strong>'Original thinking'</strong></p>
<p>Those early experiences inflamed a passion and led the young Woz, as he prefers to be known, to read as much as he could about engineering.</p>
<p>"You become what you want to be in life. I wanted to be an engineer. I didn't want to run a company."</p>
<p>Woz had little money so to keep up he crept into buildings housing the Stanford Linear Accelerator to rifle through computers books and magazines in the library.<!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p><!-- E IIMA -->That lack of money, he told BBC News, was a spur to innovate - it should never be used as an excuse to not give things a go.</p>
<p>"What's important is not having very much money," he said, convinced that it was a good discipline to have to think within restraints.</p>
<p>"Lack of resources forces you to do a lot more original thinking."</p>
<p>From early on, Woz had one aim; to understand the design of computers so he could build his own.</p>
<p>"We had a club (Homebrew) that spoke of how someday everybody was going to have their own personal computer and have control over their own lives," he said. "We'd make the guy that could program more important than the CEO of a company and that inspired me.</p>
<p>"It made me feel like we little guys are coming up against the big owners of the world and we have a position in the world. I said I want to take my technical talents and design a computer and help other people build them.</p>
<p>"It was about wanting to change the world and make it a better world and we were the first people," he said. "We were the revolution."</p>
<p><strong>'Engineer for life'</strong></p>
<p>Woz's creations helped to spawn a billion-dollar company that has influenced the computer industry beyond his wildest dreams.</p>
<p>A lot of that he puts down to the talents of his then best friend Steve Jobs. To the outside world, they may have seemed a mismatched pair: the shy engineer and the worldly-wise salesman. <!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p><!-- E IIMA -->"We weren't that dissimilar when we first met. He was more future thinking and thinking at a higher level of being one of those important people in the world. He even thought about starting a company that could become some real ongoing company."</p>
<p>"Me, I had philosophies against it. I didn't want to have big money ever in my life. I wanted to do a great engineering job and every time I designed something great, several times in our life, Steve would come and say: 'Lets sell it!'</p>
<p>"We would make some money and the next thing I designed, he would say: 'Lets sell it!' and so it went on."</p>
<p>Woz was reluctant to go into business with Steve, or anyone else, because he had a "dream job" working as a designer for Hewlett Packard.</p>
<p>"I was never going to leave HP. That's where I wanted to be forever," he said. "Steve Jobs got all my friends and relatives to call me. One friend convinced me you can be an engineer for life and take the money."</p>
<p>Woz became Apple's employee number one and admitted that he sometimes used that rank to get discounts at Apple stores. He has never asked for free products and even stands in line like everyone else when new products such as the iPhone 3G appear.</p>
<p><strong>Giving back</strong></p>
<p>Woz's second passion is for education. Years after leaving college, a life-altering event persuaded him to return to the classroom.</p>
<p>"I had a plane crash and I had amnesia and I called Steve Jobs and said: 'I am going back to do my degree'. Why put it off?</p>
<p>"You don't get two chances to do things in life and I wanted my kids to see I had a degree and encourage them. <!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p><!-- E IIMA -->"I got my degree under a fake name, Rocky Raccoon Clark."</p>
<p>As well as teaching his children the importance of education, Woz also decided it was time to stand up and be counted.</p>
<p>"I grew up with a passion. I loved my teachers and I wanted to give back by being a teacher and helping others.</p>
<p>"There is something in me that wants to be perceived as a person who cares about youngsters. As a person who wants them to learn. I really think their brains are the future that is going to get us out of the troubles we have today."</p>
<p>Following that urge led him to become a volunteer teacher helping kids to become familiar with computers.</p>
<p>Woz said his own single-mindedness had been key to his happiness and he said he would encourage others to stay true to their passion.</p>
<p>"Don't let people side-track you. If it's in your heart, follow it. Whatever your passion in life stay true to it."</p>
<p><strong>'Tough choices'</strong></p>
<p>As a true engineer, Woz said he was a "gadget guy" and that there were several pieces of technology without which he simply would not be able to live. <!-- S IIMA --></p>

<p>Woz owns 10.</p>
<p>He said he also loved his Segway on which he zipped around Silicon Valley and played polo.</p>
<p>Despite his success Woz said the one gadget he wished he had invented was his watch, which is made of old parts and lights up when he tilts his wrist.</p>
<p>"It's a geeky watch and I would have loved to have invented that. I would feel real good about it."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm sitting here watching "Pirates of Silicon Valley" and I can't help but be awed at the dawn of computing.  How much things have changed, yet remained the same.  Steve Jobs still wears his Birkenstocks, Woz is still sporting a beard (all hail Woz).  It makes me wonder sometimes if Woz is as appreciated as he should be.  Someone I know asked me who Woz was when I was upset about the blog posts and writing over his "line jumping" debacle (what a joke, he didn't cut in line).  I felt almost embarrassed that I had to explain to him that Woz was the father of all computers.</p>
<p>The movie sports Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as the main characters but I wonder if people realize that it was also Baumer and Woz in the beginning as well.  Steve and Bill are the front men for the computing world.  Let's not forget the people behind them as well.  Ok...off to drink another <a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=792808">Brain Toniq</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I listen to the TWIT podcast each time its produced ... I always like them .. but this one was particularly meaty ... and I'm not just talking about Dvoraks suitcase sausages.</p>
<p>In my opinion Patrick Norton really made that show (151). His comments and discussions were right on  ... Patrick tells it like it is ... no sugar coating.</p>
<p>Isp's dropping Usenet, FCC prohibiting Comcast BitTorrent blocking, Ebay paypal fraud ... and Dvoraks meat smuggling.</p>
<p>Leo asked his twitter army to follow Patrick and it went from 800 followers to 13500 in about 5 minutes. Amazing!</p>
<p><a title="TWIT the week in tech show 151" href="http://twit.tv/151" target="_blank">Listen to it ...</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CNET News took its time to write an article on the Woz cutting in line at an Apple store to get a 3G iPhone. Is this really a needed story? Don't they have anything better to write about? Don't the folks that reported this to CNET have better things to do, or were they just in it for their 15 minutes of fame?</p>
<p>I have to say that even me writing this little rant about is probably too much, but the story headline caught my eye and I <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">took</span> wasted my time to read it. If you want to do the same please click through to the article below.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://greg2point0.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/woz.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-376" src="http://greg2point0.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/woz.jpg" alt="Woz" width="193" height="156" /></a>Anyone interested in technology or specifically Apple computers should know the name Steve Wozniak (or Woz as he is often called). Woz was the original engineer behind Apple, he created the orignal Apple I and the Apple II, and his style of using as few chips as possible on a board is still being replicated to this day. It was his partnership with Steve Jobs that brought about the personal computer revolution, and without Woz we wouldn't have the kind of computer technology we have today.</p>
<p>The BBC inteviewed Woz about the early days of Apple, the creation of the first personal computers, and his thoughts on Bill Gates. Check out the video <a title="BBC with Woz" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7464704.stm" target="_self">here</a>.</p>
<p>If that short video caught your attention you might be interested in reading more about Woz and the early days of computing. I recommend Steve Woziniaks autobiography <a title="iwoz" href="http://www.amazon.com/iWoz-Computer-Invented-Personal-Co-Founded/dp/0393061434">iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon</a>.</p>

<p><img vspace="5" hspace="5" border="1" align="left" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2008/06/woz.jpg" />Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and inventor of the Apple I and II, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7464704.stm">talks with the BBC</a> about starting Apple in 1976. "Everything was ... thinking about the good of humanity," he said. His starting salary? $24,000 a year: maybe <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2008/06/18/apple-losing-engineers-due-to-low-salaries-not-so-fast/">a quarter</a> of what an Apple engineer makes today. </p>
<p>For those of you new to the Apple universe, this is an entertaining 10-minute brief of how it all began. </p>
<p>Woz has probably told this story a million times, but he talks about it with the same enthusiasm as if it happened yesterday. He discusses the Silicon Valley homebrew movement, Microsoft, and the perceived animosity between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.</p>
<p>Also -- and totally off-topic -- Woz wears a giant watch. I mean, seriously. Huge.</p>

<p>The season opening of <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Kathy_Griffin/season/4/index.php"><strong>My Life on The D List</strong></a> wouldn’t have attracted my attention other than the fact that Kathy unveiled her new boyfriend.

He’s overweight, eccentric, and more than a bit socially awkward.</p>

Aquí les dejo el famoso discurso pronunciado por Steve Jobs, CEO y alma de Apple, en la Universida]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://momentaneamente.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/stevejobs.jpg' alt='stvejobs' /></p>
<p>Aquí les dejo el famoso discurso pronunciado por Steve Jobs, CEO y alma de Apple, en la Universidad de Stanford. Todo un clásico, utilizado como ejemplo en muchos cursos de marketing. Téngase en cuenta que está dirigido a un público americano, de ahí su tono y enfoque pero bueno, tiene sus momentos. Mr. Jobs, el micrófono es suyo:</p>
<p>Me siento honrado de estar con ustedes hoy en su ceremonia de graduación en una de las mejores universidades del mundo. Yo nunca me gradué de una universidad. La verdad sea dicha, esto es lo más cerca que he estado de una graduación.</p>
<p>Hoy deseo contarles tres historias de mi vida. Eso es. No es gran cosa. Sólo tres historias.</p>
<p>La primera historia se trata de conectar los puntos.</p>
<p>Me retiré del Reed College después de los primeros 6 meses y seguí yendo de modo intermitente otros 18 meses o más antes de renunciar de verdad. Entonces ¿por qué me retiré?.</p>
<p>Comenzó antes de que yo naciera. Mi madre biológica era joven, estudiante de universidad graduada, soltera, y decidió darme en adopción. Ella creía firmemente que debía ser adoptado por estudiantes graduados. Por lo tanto, todo estaba arreglado para que apenas naciera fuera adoptado por un abogado y su esposa; salvo que cuando nací, decidieron en el último minuto que en realidad deseaban una niña. De ese modo, mis padres que estaban en lista de espera, recibieron una llamada en medio de la noche preguntándoles: "Tenemos un niño no deseado; ¿lo quieren?".</p>
<p>Ellos dijeron "Por supuesto". Posteriormente, mi madre biológica se enteró que mi madre nunca se había graduado de una universidad y que mi padre nunca se había graduado de la enseñanza media. Se negó a firmar los papeles de adopción definitivos. Sólo cambió de parecer unos meses más tarde cuando mis padres prometieron que algún día yo iría a la universidad.</p>
<p>Luego a los 17 años fui a la universidad. Sin embargo, ingenuamente elegí una universidad casi tan cara como Stanford y todos los ahorros de mis padres de clase obrera fueron gastados en mí matrícula. Después de 6 meses yo no era capaz de apreciar el valor de lo anterior. No tenía idea de lo que quería hacer con mi vida y no tenía idea de la manera en que la universidad me iba a ayudar a deducirlo.</p>
<p>Y aquí estaba yo, gastando todo el dinero que mis padres habían ahorrado durante toda su vida. Así que decidí retirarme y confiar en que todo iba a resultar bien. Fue bastante aterrador en ese momento, pero mirando hacia atrás fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomé. Apenas me retiré, pude dejar de asistir a las clases obligatorias que no me interesaban y comencé a asistir irregularmente a las que se veían interesantes.</p>
<p>No todo fue romántico. No tenía dormitorio, dormía en el piso de los dormitorios de amigos, llevaba botellas de Coca Cola a los depósitos de 5 centavos para comprar comida y caminaba 11 kilómetros, cruzando la ciudad todos los domingos en la noche para conseguir una buena comida a la semana en el templo Hare Krishna. Me encantaba. La mayor parte de las cosas con que tropecé siguiendo mi curiosidad e intuición resultaron ser inestimables posteriormente.</p>
<p>Les doy un ejemplo: en ese tiempo Reed College ofrecía quizás la mejor instrucción en caligrafía del país. Todos los afiches, todas las etiquetas de todos los cajones estaban bellamente escritos en caligrafía a mano en todo el campus. Debido a que me había retirado y no tenía que asistir a las clases normales, decidí tomar una clase de caligrafía para aprender. Aprendí de los tipos serif y san serif, de la variación de la cantidad de espacio entre las distintas combinaciones de letras, de lo que hace que la gran tipografía sea lo que es.</p>
<p>Fue hermoso, histórico, artísticamente sutil de una manera en que la ciencia no logra capturar, y lo encontré fascinante.</p>
<p>Nada de esto tenía incluso una esperanza de aplicación práctica en mi vida. No obstante, diez años después, cuando estaba diseñando la primera computadora Macintosh, todo tuvo sentido para mí. Y todo lo diseñamos en un Mac. Fue la primera computadora con una bella tipografía.</p>
<p>Si nunca hubiera asistido a ese único curso en la universidad, la Mac nunca habría tenido tipos múltiples o fuentes proporcionalmente espaciadas. Además, puesto que Windows sólo copió la Mac, es probable que ninguna computadora personal la tendría. Si nunca me hubiera retirado, nunca habría asistido a esa clase de caligrafía, y las computadoras personales no tendrían la maravillosa tipografía que tienen.</p>
<p>Por supuesto era imposible conectar los puntos mirando hacia el futuro cuando estaba en la universidad. Sin embargo, fue muy, muy claro mirando hacia el pasado diez años después.</p>
<p>Reitero, no pueden conectar los puntos mirando hacia el futuro; solamente pueden conectarlos mirando hacia el pasado. Por lo tanto, tienen que confiar en que los puntos de alguna manera se conectarán en su futuro. Tienen que confiar en algo -su instinto, su destino, su vida, su karma, lo que sea. Esta perspectiva nunca me ha decepcionado, y ha hecho la diferencia en mi vida.</p>
<p>La segunda historia es sobre amor y pérdida</p>
<p>Yo fui afortunado - descubrí lo que amaba hacer temprano en la vida. Woz y yo comenzamos Apple en el garage de mis padres cuando tenía 20 años. Trabajamos duro y en 10 años Apple había crecido a partir de nosotros dos en un garage, transformándose en una compañía de US$ 2mil millones con más de 4.000 empleados.</p>
<p>Recién habíamos presentado nuestra más grandiosa creación -la Macintosh- un año antes y yo recién había cumplido los 30. Y luego me despidieron. ¿Cómo te pueden despedir de una compañía que comenzaste?</p>
<p>Bien, debido al crecimiento de Apple contratamos a alguien que pensé que era muy talentoso para dirigir la compañía conmigo, los primeros años las cosas marcharon bien. Sin embargo, nuestras visiones del futuro empezaron a desviarse y finalmente tuvimos un tropiezo. Cuando ocurrió, la Junta del Directorio lo respaldó a él.</p>
<p>De ese modo a los 30 años estaba afuera. Y muy publicitadamente fuera. Había desaparecido aquello que había sido el centro de toda mi vida adulta, fue devastador.</p>
<p>Por unos cuantos meses, realmente no supe qué hacer. Sentía que había decepcionado a la generación anterior de empresarios - que había dejado caer el testimonio cuando me lo estaban pasando. Me encontré con David Packard y Bob Noyce e intenté disculparme por haberlo echado a perder tan estrepitosamente. Fue un absoluto fracaso público e incluso pensaba en alejarme del valle.</p>
<p>No obstante, lentamente comencé a entender algo - Yo todavía amaba lo que hacía. El revés ocurrido con Apple no había cambiado eso ni un milímetro. Había sido rechazado, pero seguía enamorado. Y así decidí comenzar de nuevo.</p>
<p>En ese entonces no lo entendí, pero sucedió que ser despedido de Apple fue lo mejor que podía haberme pasado. La pesadez de ser exitoso fue reemplazada por la liviandad de ser un principiante otra vez, menos seguro de todo. Me liberó para entrar en uno de las etapas más creativas de mi vida.</p>
<p>Durante los siguientes cinco años, comencé una compañía llamada NeXT, otra compañía llamada Pixar, y me enamoré de una asombrosa mujer que se convirtió en mi esposa. Pixar continuó y creó la primera película en el mundo animada por computadora, Toy Story, y ahora es el estudio de animación más exitoso a nivel mundial. En un notable giro de los hechos, Apple compró NeXT, regresé a Apple y la tecnología que desarrollamos en NeXT constituye el corazón del actual renacimiento de Apple.</p>
<p>Además, con Laurene tenemos una maravillosa familia. Estoy muy seguro de que nada de esto habría sucedido si no me hubiesen despedido de Apple. Fue una amarga medicina, pero creo que el paciente la necesitaba. En ocasiones la vida te golpea con un ladrillo en la cabeza. No pierdan la fe. Estoy convencido que lo único que me permitió seguir fue que yo amaba lo que hacía. Tienen que encontrar eso que aman. Y eso es tan válido para su trabajo como para sus amores. Su trabajo va a llenar gran parte de sus vidas y la única manera de sentirse realmente satisfecho es hacer aquello que creen es un gran trabajo. Y la única forma de hacer un gran trabajo es amando lo que hacen.</p>
<p>Si todavía no lo han encontrado, sigan buscando. No se detengan. Al igual que con los asuntos del corazón, sabrán cuando lo encuentren. Y al igual que cualquier relación importante, mejora con el paso de los años. Así que sigan buscando hasta que lo encuentren. No se detengan.</p>
<p>La tercera historia es sobre la muerte</p>
<p>Cuando tenía 17 años, leí una cita que decía algo parecido a "Si vives cada día como si fuera el último, es muy probable que algún día hagas lo correcto".</p>
<p>A mí me impresionó y desde entonces, durante los últimos 33 años, me miro al espejo todas las mañanas y me pregunto: "Si hoy fuera en último día de mi vida, ¿querría hacer lo que estoy a punto de hacer hoy?"</p>
<p>Y cada vez que la respuesta ha sido "No" por varios días seguidos, sé que necesito cambiar algo.</p>
<p>Recordar que moriré pronto constituye la herramienta más importante que he encontrado para ayudarme a decidir las grandes elecciones de mi vida.</p>
<p>Porque casi todo -todas las expectativas externas, todo el orgullo, todo el temor a la vergüenza o al fracaso- todo eso desaparece a las puertas de la muerte, quedando solamente aquello que es realmente importante. Recordar que van a morir es la mejor manera que conozco para evitar la trampa de pensar que tienen algo que perder. Ya están desnudos. No hay ninguna razón para no seguir a su corazón.</p>
<p>Casi un año atrás me diagnosticaron cáncer. Me hicieron un scanner a las 7:30 de la mañana y claramente mostraba un tumor en el páncreas. Yo ni sabía lo que era el páncreas. Los doctores me dijeron que era muy probable que fuera un tipo de cáncer incurable y que mis expectativas de vida no superarían los tres a seis meses. Mi doctor me aconsejó irme a casa y arreglar mis asuntos, que es el código médico para prepararte para la muerte. Significa intentar decirle a tus hijos todo lo que pensabas decirles en los próximos 10 años, decirlo en unos pocos meses. Significa asegurarte que todo esté finiquitado de modo que sea lo más sencillo posible para tu familia. Significa despedirte.</p>
<p>Viví con ese diagnóstico todo el día. Luego al atardecer me hicieron una biopsia en que introdujeron un endoscopio por mi garganta, a través del estómago y mis intestinos, pincharon con una aguja mi páncreas y extrajeron unas pocas células del tumor. Estaba sedado, pero mi esposa, que estaba allí, me contó que cuando examinaron las células en el microscopio, los doctores empezaron a llorar porque descubrieron que era una forma muy rara de cáncer pancreático, curable con cirugía. Me operaron y ahora estoy bien.</p>
<p>Fue lo más cercano que he estado a la muerte y espero que sea lo más cercano por unas cuantas décadas más. Al haber vivido esa experiencia, puedo contarla con un poco más de certezaque cuando la muerte era un útil pero puramente intelectual concepto:</p>
<p>Nadie quiere morir. Incluso la gente que quiere ir al cielo, no quiere morir para llegar allá. La muerte es el destino que todos compartimos. Nadie ha escapado de ella. Y es como debe ser porque la Muerte es muy probable que sea la mejor invención de la Vida. Es el agente de cambio de la Vida. Elimina lo viejo para dejar paso a lo nuevo. Ahora mismo, ustedes son lo nuevo, pero algún día, no muy lejano, gradualmente ustedes serán viejos y serán eliminados.</p>
<p>Lamento ser tan trágico, pero es muy cierto.</p>
<p>Su tiempo tiene límite, así que no lo pierdan viviendo la vida de otra persona. No se dejen atrapar por dogmas -es decir, vivir con los resultados del pensamiento de otras personas. No permitan que el ruido de las opiniones ajenas silencien su propia voz interior. Y más importante todavía, tengan el valor de seguir su corazón e intuición, que de alguna manera ya saben lo que realmente quieren llegar a ser. Todo lo demás es secundario.</p>
<p>Cuando era joven, había una asombrosa publicación llamada The Whole Earth Catalog, que era una de las biblias de mi generación. Fue creada por un tipo llamado Steward Brand no muy lejos de aquí en Menlo Park, y la creó con un toque poético. Fue a fines de los 60, antes de las computadoras personales y de la edición mediante microcomputadoras, por lo tanto, en su totalidad estaba editada usando máquinas de escribir, tijeras y cámaras polaroid. Era un tipo de Google en formato de edición económica, 35 años antes de que apareciera Google: era idealista y rebosante de hermosas herramientas y grandes conceptos.</p>
<p>Steward y su equipo publicaron varias ediciones del The Whole Earth Catalog, y luego cuando seguía su curso normal, publicaron la última edición. Fue a mediados de los 70 y yo tenía la edad de ustedes. En la tapa trasera de la última edición, había una fotografía de una carretera en el campo temprano en la mañana, similar a una en que estarían haciendo dedo si fueran así aventureros. Debajo de la foto decía: "Sean ansiosos. Sean descabellados". Fue su mensaje de despedida al finalizar.</p>
<p>Sean ansiosos. Sean descabellados. Siempre he deseado eso para mí. Y ahora como se gradúan para empezar de nuevo, lo deseo para ustedes.</p>
<p>Sean ansiosos. Sean descabellados.</p>
<p>Muchas gracias.</p>

In 2000, Steve Wozniak was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for "single-handedly designing the first personal computer."</p>
<p> "At long last Woz tells his side of the story. iWoz takes us inside the mind of the ultimate nerd and inspires us with the sheer joy that he has always found in iconoclasm, invention, and intellectual discovery. His account was worth waiting for: it adds intriguiging new information to the history of the origins of the personal computer revolution."--Alan Deutschman, author of The Second Coming of Steve Jobs</p>

<description><![CDATA[잡스 혹은 JOBS는 알더라도 워즈니악 혹은  WOZ라는 이름의 인물에 대해 모르]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">잡스 혹은 JOBS는 알더라도 워즈니악 혹은  WOZ라는 이름의 인물에 대해 모르는 이도 있을 것이다. 만일 이 둘을 모두 알고 있다고 하더라도, 그 둘 사이 혹은 애플에 대한 이야기를 잘못알고 있는 이들도 많을 것이다. 그렇다면 이 모든 오해를 직접 당사자 이야기하는 것보다 더 나은 것이 있을 까? 더욱이 그가 워즈니악이라면 무엇을 말할 것인가! 내게 있어 iWOZ는 그 동안 너무도 궁금했던 많은 사실들을 확인할 수 있는 내용으로 가득했다. 그리고는 단숨에 읽어내려 갔다.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="vertical-align:baseline;" src="http://www.chol.com/~spix/public/iwoz_tb.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">그의 자서전의 내용에 감히 내가 평가를 할 수 없다고 본다. 나는 분명 그럴 자격도 자질도 없다고 생각한다. 단지, 나는 그를 천재하고 생각했다. 그것은 사실이었으며 스스로 확인시켜 주었다. 그리고 그와 같은 천재가 이 세상에 얼마나 필요한지도 다시 확번 확인할 수 있었다. 아마도 내 판단에 가장 확실한 것은 잡스, 게이츠 보다 그는 훨씬 행복한 천재이며, 진정한 엔지니어라는 확신한다.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">그럼에도 감히 내가 이 책에 대해 평가를 내리자면, 잡스와 애플에 대해 적든 크든 충성심을 가진 모든 이들이라면 반드시 읽어야만 한다. 누가 진정한 승자 (이 표현이 그에 대한 해가 되지 않을까 싶다)인가 알 수 있으며, 어떻게 사는 것이 진정한 삶인지도...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working in tech, I read a lot of articles written by windbags who are paid off by manufacturers or ad firms or whatever. Woz always seems to speak his mind regardless of who it will impact. I'm always drawn to his articles and interviews.</p>
<p>Here's a recent one:<br />
<a href="http://www.apcmag.com/8356/steve_wozniaks_frustrations_with_iphone_apple_tv_and_macbook_air" title="Wizard of Woz" target="_blank"> Steve Wozniak's frustrations with iPhone, Apple TV and MacBook Air</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">Wozniak was in Sydney this morning to deliver the keynote speech at a conference focused on Australian broadband. But his commentary during a press Q&#38;A session ranged far beyond the topics of broadband and telecommunications, with Woz lobbing numerous constructive critiques about Apple's latest products back over the pond to Cupertino.</p>

<p>I'm an advocate of OLPC. Nicholas <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Nicholas_Negroponte">Negropont</a>e say's OLPC is an education project, not a cheap laptop project. Steve Wozniak donated to the project and bought one with the "give one get one" deal. What does Steve Jobs do? I hate to say he turns his back.</p>
<p>Nicholas was co-founder of the MIT media laboratory and professor of media technology at MIT. He's author of the 1995 best selling book, "Being Digital," is on the board of directors for Motorola, and partner in a venture capital firm. He invested in Wired magazine! Now he is focused on the OLPC project and advocates open source digital technologies. I believe in open source. Nicholas Negroponte and <a href="http://sarahmeyers.wordpress.com/2008/01/15/pranks-steve-wozniak-and-civil-disobedience/">Steve Wozniak</a> believe in open source. So why can't Steve Jobs join them with his Macintosh operating software? What's the point in keeping it closed?</p>
<p>I got my hands on the OLPC while at CES. From looking at it, some people think it can't do much as a notebook. It's clear to me that it's doing more for our culture than any other computer around. The global community benefits from open source projects and I encourage them. Students are going to get their hands on these laptops and view them as learning toys. It looks like a toy too.</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/dcmetroblogger/212196724/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/93/212196724_1991886f57.jpg?v=0"></a></p>
<p>The laptop has a hinge that they call the "transformer hinge" because it changes from a classic laptop to a book reader and acts as an antenna. OLPC's ODM, Quanta Computer made a strong case for the versatility of having the transformer hinge. From what I saw it's the one part of the design that makes it look cheap. While the press has always talked about it as the "100 dollar laptop," in a way defines the product, the company does not want cheap as part of their image. I think they should start with a redesign in order to achieve their goal. </p>
<p>What's more important than design is opening it up. This is what Steve Wozniak has to say, "I was on a panel with Nicholas in Seoul this year and admired the fact that he'd turned down an offer from Jobs for the Macintosh OS on the OLPC because it wasn't open sourced. I both donated to the program and also bought the give-one get-one and I do have it. I have it charged and on my home network but haven't had time to use it enough yet. I wanted to switch part of my computer life, maybe web, to it, but not yet."</p>
<p>Dear Steve Jobs, You want to make a lot of money and everyone can understand that. But, please stand up with us on this subject even if you don't integrate it. Thanks.</p>

<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/interviews/" rel="tag">Interviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/the-woz/" rel="tag">The Woz</a></p>
<p><img vspace="8" hspace="8" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2008/01/woznerview.jpg" />Dutch site <a href="http://www.onemorething.nl">One More Thing</a> brings us a <a href="http://www.onemorething.nl/?p=showarticle&#38;art_id=2980">serving</a> of Steve 'Woz' Wozniak from Macworld. You may or may not be nonplussed by the exclusive interview with Apple's co-founder, but they use the word 'computergeschiedenis' in the post, which you have to admit is a pretty fun way to say 'computer history'. At least that's how <a href="http://www.kavasoft.com/KavaServices/">KavaServices</a> translated it for me. And Woz, no matter how you look at it, has a place in computer history.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, Woz has a lot of love to share in regards to the Macworld proceedings, the Apple TV Take 2, and other Apple affairs. He <em>is</em> willing to state that the first Apple TV was a 'very rare case where a product really wasn't quite done right,' but mostly, I'm sure, because it's already been generally acknowledged. The interview is in English, which is good for me as my ability to follow along in Dutch would be somewhere between rusty and non-existent. It's also 20 minutes long, so if you've been wishing for a little time with Mr. Wozniak, for whatever reason, <a href="http://www.onemorething.nl/?p=showarticle&#38;art_id=2980">get your fill</a>.</p>
