I now have no need to unveil my "ridiculous photo of Bill Gates" for today. This one takes the cake. Haha. I like the comparisson to Smithers, especially since Bill has a ton of Homers working on his products.
Woz was/is a hardware guy, Jobs just did the business stuff. Jobs is not, and never was an engineer. Bill spent two years at Harvard, did a little bit of coding, and then moved to business. So, really, Bill isn't a great engineer either.
Woz was good though. The Apple I is really elegant.
He has been out of the trade for a while now. While he'd probably be a good department manager/head, I don't know how useful he'd be on the hardware design side at this point. If he had never left, I don't know how much different it would be. maybe we'd have missed that whole era of bloated macs. . . I don't know.
Obviously (and I'm not just saying this because it's from rotten.com. Honestly.. Seriously I'm not.. What?! You're crazy.. You're all crazy..)
this guy has some deep seeded hatred of Jobs, and (anyone here read Jobs' biography?) Eh, anyway I did, and although some of what the rotten.com guy says is true, he seems to exaggerate it ten fold..
Although Jobs is (supposedly) a annarchical power hungry tyrant, he definetely knows what he's doing with computers..

Smithers, release the hounds.
In the end, all you have is your health.

Eh, he could just buy a new spine if this one craps out.
I knew Bill was Chairman of the Board, but Chief Software Architect?

Close, but it looks like it is actually Frutiger. He may not have stolen Steve's typeface, but you may notice that he did steal Steve's water bottle!

funny, the Chief Software Architect at MS has probably never written a single line of code past basic, could he spell C++?

I didn't know he had one to start with...

Bill could code. Steve couldn't.
Steve is a hardware/marketing guy?!

Woz was hardware. Mike Markkula was the early money.
Steve was/is a "vision" guy. Plus he's got the whole RDF thing going for him.
and that photo still doesn't measure up to 98's video1.7MB QT Mov

Looks too much like Linux Torwalds.
