Steve Wozniak declares first clip from Steve Jobs biopic "Not close"

When Gizmodo posted the Entertainment Weekly video of the first released clip from the upcoming movie jOBS, they declared in their headline that it was “actually pretty good”. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak disagreed in the comments.

Silicon Valley is buying protection from DC through skyrocketing lobbying spends

Silicon Valley is buying protection from DC through skyrocketing lobbying spends

The greatest threat to startups is lack of momentum. For companies that make it over the startup hump, it’s competition. Once a tech company is big, innovation is often the biggest challenge.

Facebook is the latest to hit the lobbying trail hard…

The co-founder of Apple squeezes a ton of opinions and information into a video that’s less than 5-minutes long, but that doesn’t mean it’s light on data. In this string of consciousness talk that he gave for UCTV, he makes some points and humorous quips, but he mentions on thing that was very profound.
