- Real People: an exclusive interview with Steve Wozniak
-
A little break from the usual Woz interview. His contributions to Apple aside, Woz is the kind of person that we all would be so lucky to have in our lives. Not to mention he has one incredibly fun life with all those toys!
From the article:
In closing, I asked about his personal philosophies on living life. His reply was honest, endearing and impressive to me: [base "]Life is measured by your happiness, basically smiles minus frowns. You have a choice in this regard at every step. All people should be treated fairly, evenly and justly, to the greatest extent possible. Nothing is black and white. You don[base ']t have to win arguments to be happy, just know that your own opinions are good. Be a good person that others would like, golden rule. Be open, show your true self, don[base ']t hide behind facades. There is room for humor in everything.[per thou] I think that says it all.

Ostensibly Google's update to a previous tool that searched people's hard drives in addition to the usual lightning-quick survey of the entire World Wide Web, Google Desktop 2 turns out to be a not-so-stealthy attempt to hijack the desktop from Microsoft. And in a move that must be particularly galling to Gates, the program does it in a way that directly steals thunder from Microsoft's upcoming Windows update, Vista.
