lustiger Zeitgenosse

Er ist für die MAC-Welt wohl einer der lustigsten und genialsten Zeitgenossen zugleich. Steve Wozniak, bezieht anscheinend immer noch Gehalt von Apple, hält aber mit offenen und ehrlichen Aussagen nicht hinterm Berg:

L: Is there anything you would change about the iPhone?

SW: I think it could be more like a computer. It should be open like a computer. Anyone should be able to develop their own games and programs on it. And keep the phone and the phone services off guard so it’s protected.

L: So you’re in favor of the unlocking and jailbreaking for third-party applications?

SW: From a business point of view, Apple owns what they have done. They have a right to lock it. But I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I’d really like it to be open to new applications. I’d like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I’ve made? How would that hurt AT&T’s network? Here is Steve Jobs sending letters to the record companies saying [they] should provide music that’s unprotected, but here he is taking the opposite approach with the iPhone. I don’t know to what extent AT&T is involved in the thinking and direction.

Dafür muss man Ihn einfach lieben.
