The Woz, Stephen Wozniak is in the market to make another zillion dollars. As if he doesn’t have enough already. Woz is the co-founder of Apple who retired from there over 10 years ago. It must be nice to retire at age 40.
Woz has founded a new start-up called Wheels of Zeus (link to NYTimes article - free registration required), a play on his nickname Woz.
The Zuesians plan on bringing GPS technology to us little people by, as a company spokesperson said in nice simple advertising language, allowing “everyday people track everyday things.” I guess stalkers can rejoice. More information on their product offering won’t be available until Spring.
As expected, Woz located the company amongst friends in Silicon Valley, which has gone through a steep decline over the past decade. The Woz said the rent was less than half of what it would have been at the peak of the Internet bubble that ended about a year ago.
“I’m trying to conserve money,” he said. Let that go down in history next to Bill Gates’s, “64k of RAM is all anyone should ever need.”
