Here’s a video of Steve Wozniak, the cheery man who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs (and Ron Wayne), talking about Steve Jobs’s passing. Woz said he found out Steve Jobs died when a reporter called and asked him if he had heard the news. At that point, he instantly knew what that meant.
Few knew Steve as well as Woz did, it’s nice to see him reminisce about his old friend. Check out another video of Woz on The Early Show below.

Friday, October 7, 2011 at 4:35 PMHaha, I thought about that when I was typing. Woz just always comes across as really nice in interviews while Steve never did.
Without going all fanboy-ish, I never really liked anything Jobs did after he came back to apple. For me thats were he started to go “bad”. Not saying he didn’t do it really well, which he obviously did. He just went the full circle from being the blonde girl with the sledgehammer in the Apple mac advert to being the guy on the screen brainwashing everyone.

Fu#king awesome man!
