I think Woz is responding the myth that somehow Jobs has taken the aesthetics and free-spiritedness of the 60's counter-culture revolution and infused into Apple and that's what has made it stand out and thrive in comparison to the staid counterparts in computing (e.g., IBM/HP/Microsoft). Also, there was a long-standing rumor that Jobs had a long-time "under-the-table" liason with Joan Baez who was also a long time music collaborator and lover to Bob Dylan.

Tbh, it's sad that Woz comes out of the woodwork once in awhile to carp on his one-time partner. Yes Jobs was an ass-hole but Woz has all of the money in the world to get high, get a young nice-looking woman and play League or Dota2. In terms of the "intellectual man" who got snubbed by the "type-A asshole," Woz should learn from Paul Allen who reinvented himself as a renaissance man who long moved on from computing to owner of the Seattle Seahawks and blues guitar extraordinaire who jams with Clapton. At the very least, try going to the gym to get rid of that atrocious love-handle of his.

It dishonors both men to allow falsehoods to become the accepted truth. If someone tried to convinced the world that everything that you accomplished in your life was the result of someone else's effort, and they all bought into it, I'm sure you'd be at least a little upset by it.


I wouldn't hold Allen up as an example of reinvention as his "renaissance" activities now include patent trolling. And Woz is none too happy about that:

Woz has been very, very generous to Jobs.
