Bummer that Tim Cook didn't mention Woz. Heck, nobody here on "Hacker" News has mentioned Woz in the context of this article or Tim Cook's email. Way to go, folks. (and yes, Ronald Wayne deserves a shout out, too.)
Posthumous reality distortion field in effect. Can you feel it?
Woz got Apple off the ground and gave them their "magic seed", but he did not and could not bring it to such incredible business success. I doubt he would've wanted to. I think nearly everyone on HN still recognizes the amazing contributions he's made to computing.
Amazing magic seeds or sufficiently advanced technology? Call it what you will, but that's like mentioning AC and Westinghouse, but ignoring Tesla or only mentioning one parent on your birthday.
