What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Now he’s done a Q&A with some trade mag and uses the opportunity to blast me and the iPhone some more. I guess he’s mad because I made fun of him over this Kathy Griffin thing. But still. Some really juicy stuff in this article, like he admits he cheated to get into the front of the iPhone line:

“We opened up the door and out there sleeping on the ground were all the people and I took control. I said I am here, we are going to pass out t-shirts and numbers and we passed around numbers each one signed by me. But the first number I passed out was nine. I took one through eight.”

He also says he’s still not totally sold on iPhone and still loves his BlackBerry Pearl. And he disses us on the iPhone refund:

“I bought some for friends and they get the discount and not me or if I bought it and gave it as a gift they get the discount. So why don’t you just take my receipt and give me the money back? And of course it always comes back in Apple store credit. So instead of getting $100 back you get $50 back in a sense. It is very optimal for the company. I feel badly about the situation for everybody. I don’t think Apple should have even done it.”

He touts Google’s products, particularly Gmail:

“Boy if I was to tell somebody new and tell them what they should do for email GMail would be my first suggestion.”

He takes a shot at Apple:

“I don’t like that a lot of the dreams of our early Macintosh era they really came from the Lisa group that kicked Steve Jobs out more. But a lot of those dreams of the computer being so humanized, making a person feel like a real human being, feel important, feel empowered. A lot of those get dissolved. … I know Steve Jobs doesn’t like me criticizing Apple stuff but you know a lot of times it doesn’t live up to what I’d like.”

The syntax is so frigged up that in some places I’m not even sure what he’s trying to say. But you know, Woz, if you really are that dissatisfied with Apple products you could always come back and get a desk and do some work. Right? (Photo: Burt Hammer, Musclebear.)
