Another in Steve Wozniak's long list of failures. Which all started with his fateful decision to leave Apple. One of the biggest mistakes of all time, I'd say. But I guess he's happy, he took his shares and then stopped contributing anything to the world.

Yeah, his previous stint at Fusion-io went public and reached only a $2 billion evaluation. Loser!

(That's not to credit him specifically with any if its success, but hanging a "failure" tag on him is just odd.)

[Fusion had issues under Woz](http://www.businessinsider.com/fusion-io-reports-loss-cfo-le...)

Woz's [Wheels of Zeus (Woz!)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheels_of_Zeus) didn't do well either.

Neither of these less-than-glowing experiences redeem him from walking away from Apple before it's prime. Many share-holders kick themselves for doubting Apple in this era. Woz should be no different. Except he says unusual things to the media that exacerbates the more ignorant type of nerd you come across now and then.
