After Steve Jobs’ stunning resignation today, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak described the outgoing CEO as the “most important technical leader ever” and an Ayn Rand-style objectivist to Bloomberg News. Watch:
In a phone interview with Emily Chang, Wozniak discusses Apple under Jobs’ leadership, he’ll “be remembered for the next hundred years as the best business leader of our time,” quipped Woz, as well as how Apple’s corporate culture will be affected by the departure, and how the iPhone is like a person—wait, what?

-Sounds about right. Explains a lot too. I can really see Jobs viewing himself as the “great man” hemmed in and oppressed by such social evils as law, morality, social obligation, etc..

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 1:28 AMAyn Rand was a mean-spirited, petty bitch. Anyone who evokes her name as a positive will be either
1) An internet plato who played Bioshock a few too many times and took from it, the completely wrong moral lesson.
2) A heartless bastard.

Monday, August 29, 2011 at 1:37 PMYes, olearymo, you’re first comment was correct. Steve DID ripoff Woz when they were were kids working at Atari. However, Woz’s response is the most heartbreaking aspect of the story that I retold on my blog, http://stevejobsinc.blogspot.com/2011/04/steve-jobs-managenent-style.html
