Re: OT Woz News
Good point. Sometimes CEOs are functional but I don't suppose it is a necessity. Sometimes they have a part of their job as Corporate Cheer-Leader... and the guys directly below them pull the real strings... I think he'd be good in the latter position. I then said But there would be no better interim figurehead! Bolster morale to the faithful troops and carry the flag etc. Some think a professional CEO would care enough to do a good job for the company. If it was an Apple insider, perhaps.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/Woz-Lands-Chief-Scientist-Gig-at-SSD-Firm-66103.html Woz Lands Chief Scientist Gig at SSD Firm By Chris Maxcer MacNewsWorld Part of the ECT News Network 02/05/09 3:21 PM PT Fusion-io's newest technical advisor is none other than Apple's other Steve. Steve Wozniak, who cofounded Apple alongside Steve Jobs years ago, will help Fusion-io formulate strategy as it attempts to grow in the nascent enterprise-class solid-state drive market. SSDs have been around for a while, but they're just beginning to gain a foothold in enterprise-level storage applications. Steve Wozniak, the man who cofounded Apple but hasn't held an official position there in years, has snagged a job as the chief scientist for Fusion-io, a Salt Lake City-based provider of enterprise solid-state architecture and high-performance I/O (input/output) solutions. Wozniak will act as a key technical advisor to the Fusion-io research and development group. Plus, he'll work closely with the executive team of Fusion-io in formulating company strategy. With the revolutionary technological advances being made by Fusion-io, the company is in the right place at the right time with the right technology and ready to direct the history of technology into the 21st century and beyond, Wozniak noted. The technology marketplace has not seen such capacity for innovation and radical transformation since the mainframe computer was replaced by the home computer. Fusion-io's technology is extremely useful to many different applications and almost all of the world's servers, he added. Prior to his appointment as chief scientist at Fusion-io, Wozniak was a member of the company's advisory board, where Fusion-io he counseled the company on market trends, product road maps and other strategic activities. -- Steve Conrad Henrietta, MO 64036 The time has come for mankind to grow up and leave its cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space. - Capt.
