The inventor of everything
I don't like the tone of the article much, there is an element of spite in it that would be better removed and replaced with on the record quotes. That said, there is clearly a lot of smoke here and possibly a fire.<p>There is a reason some people refer to certain suppliers of money as 'dumb capital'. Playing the game well and moving on before the inevitable collision with reality happens is a strategy that can work for a long time. This guy seems to be so good at it that it likely will never catch up with him.<p>I've met people like this, I've even worked for one or two.<p>It's scary how they can use a combination of charisma, drive and self delusion to relieve others (including their co-workers) of their contributions, line their pockets with cash and move on before the crash.<p>Which of course is never their fault because they've already moved on. And if the company is successful in spite of them then they get to claim the credit.<p>I'd like to see the substantiation of the claim that Wozniak used 'some of Ohio Scientifics technology'. That sounds like patent nonsense to me. They both used a 6502 but that was an inmos general purpose cpu, nothing specifically made for Ohio Scientific.<p>The Apple I was launched in '76 (also using the 6502), the II followed in '77. The early ('75-'76) Ohio Scientific products were more along the lines of the KIM-I than the Apple I.
