Oculus founder says no Mac support coming until Apple builds 'good' system with better graphics

Oculus founder says no Mac support coming until Apple builds 'good' system with better graphics So if they prioritize higher-end GPUs like they used to for a while back in the day, we'd love to support Mac. But right now, there's just not a single machine out there that supports it.

Woz: Jobs didn't design Apple computers - Business Insider

Woz: Jobs didn't design Apple computers - Business Insider Steve Jobs played no role at all in any of my designs of the Apple I and Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff that I made to enhance the computers. He did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software.
I suppose we can ask Walter Isaacson what SWEET16 is and whether Jobs designed it. APPLE ][ FOREVER! Apple more or less controls popular media through yellow journalism. I mean, what major media outlet wants to be excluded from a fall special event? Exactly. Which is why we're hearing about this from a blogger.

Wozniak: I don’t like being trapped in Apple's ecosystem

Wozniak: I don’t like being trapped in Apple's ecosystem Finally, Wozniak said that he likes to keep his options open when it comes to his tech devices, by using a wide range of products — despite the fact that this means it’s a bit harder to integrate devices. “I don’t like being in the Apple ecosystem,” he said. “I don’t like being trapped. I like being independent.”
Most of the major platform success have been driven by openness. That would include Unix, which is the underpinnings of all Mac and iOS devices. Without the openness of unix and GNU, I don't think we would have iOS or Mac OS X.

2. The first computer-like machine he ever built was in 8th grade for a science fair. It ran a program that "makes you never lose at tic-tac-toe ... It had about 100 transistors and about 100 diodes. No one at school had ever seen a transistor, it was that advanced."
The reality.
