Woz speaks out about the death of his old friend and former business partner.
It's been two days since Steve Jobs' family released a statement informing the world that he had passed away. However, the tributes and stories from people who knew and loved Steve are still flowing fast. The Associated Press caught up with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to ask him how he felt about hearing the news. Though the Woz hasn't worked full-time for Apple since 1987, he and Jobs are said to have remained in touch. Watch his comments on the passing of his business partner below:

Without being overly sentimental, he will always live on in the soul of technology.
apparently they had a huge argument over steve losing his job at apple around 20 years back... and when he ca,e back, woz left or something or other
I watched these a few days ago including this one (I went there to see his reaction to the news). Thankfully we still have Steve Wozniak with us whom nearly all PC (Windows/Linux) users can respect and admire too.In a way I would prefer to have Steve Wozniak introduce Apple products rather than Tim Cook although I am a PC user.
Apple wouldn't have been formed without the business dealings of Steve Jobs (and Mark Markula's investment).It was Steve Jobs who really talked Wozniak into forming a corporation and going into business.Otherwise Wozniak would have just built his first microcomputer for himself and maybe for his friends.Wozniak might never have been fabulously successful and wealthy and so well famed.
They (Woz,Jobs and others) were a successful team highly dependent on each other.Take one out of the equation and Apple Computer would have never have happened.But it is true that without Woz and his creations (the Apple I and II) there would be no Apple.Woz might have ended up as a highly successful engineer for HP but Jobs might have ended up as a used car salesman instead.Wozniak and Jobs met through a mutual friend a individual named Bill Fernandez.At the time of the meeting Wozniak was 21 years of age and Jobs 16 years of age.Previously in the early 1960's (1964?) I think from what I've read before Steve Wozniak made a calculator out of transistors and it won at a local Science Fair.
Again they wouldn't have outstandingly succeeded without each other.
It's really an amazing story overall.
Woz is the sort of guy who can just go around and keep encouraging the engineers and software developers.
Apple needs a human face and Woz is the sort of guy who can help keep them human.
Thanks for the video Jane.
You said it all my friend...you said it all...
