Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was hospitalized in Mexico City on Wednesday due to a possible stroke, Mexican media outlets reported, but a TMZ report citing sources suggested the illness was potentially a less serious bout of vertigo.

    Hope he’s okay! Woz is one of the few giants of the tech field who genuinely seems like a good guy.

      A story I like about him is that he used to get money in sheets from the US Treasury. All still legal tender and you can do this too. He’d tear off a bill and hand it to whomever he was paying and they would be confused.

      So yah, he seems like my kind of guy.

        Can confirm! I still have my 2$ bill from Woz.

        Woz may be the nicest person I’ve ever met. I hope he’s ok.

      I’ve come around on Bill Gates over the past decade. He’s really trying to good by society with the dollars he’s accumulated through his monopoly…he’s doing this through supporting science and sustainably minded technology, and not in building massive monuments like some oil barons before.

        I’m not sure what to think of him now but I’m not impressed at his tactic of “aggressively fuck everyone over and then once I have a ton of money, now I’m a philanthropist”.

      Are you forgetting about Elon musk and Mark Zuckerberg? I mean, it’s not a wasteland.

    We don’t have many Good Steves and after Mr. Irwin there doesn’t seem to be many left. Stay strong Steve. The world still needs you.
