Zonke iimovie zigxile kuSteve Jobs… singayilibala njani le ntetho ye-iPod okanye umboniso onomtsalane we-iPhone? Kimi ezi zimbini zibalaseleyo azenzileyo ebomini bakhe (ngelishwa) obufutshane. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba uSteve Jobs wayengu "Ying" weApple, sinomnye uSteve owayengu "Yang" kwaye nguWozniak. Mva nje i-Woz endala, igama lesidlaliso esaziwa ngalo, likhoboka lokuba kumaqweqwe amaphephancwadi nakumaphephandaba ngenxa yeengxelo nezenzo zabo. Siza kwazisa uSteve Wozniak ukuze udibane nalowo wayengumsunguli weApple.
Uvela phi uSteve Wozniak?
UStephan Gary Wozniak, owazalelwa eSunnyvale, eUnited States of America nge-11 ka-Agasti ka-1950, sijamelene nomlingiswa oyinyani, kodwa inyani kukuba ekuqaleni sasingazange sijongane neprofayili enjalo. Ngaphandle kokuba ngummi waseMelika, utata wakhe wayenemvelaphi yasePoland kwaye umama wakhe wayevela eJamani, baphela eUnited States bebaleka imfazwe. Ukusukela esemncinci, wayethanda imathematics kwaye ngakumbi i-elektroniki, ekhulisa uthando olukhethekileyo ngonomathotholo (uyamkhumbula uDustin omdala kwizinto zasemzini?). Ke, iyunivesithi kaWozniak kunye noqeqesho lokuzifundisa lwalusoloko lukhula, lihlala linxibelelana neekhompyuter, iiradiyo kunye nezinto zombane zabathengi.
Kwakukho kwiikholeji zakhe (ngo-1971) xa Umhlobo oqhelekileyo wamazisa kuSteve Jobs, Ingqondo yezorhwebo yeApple, kwaye yile yokuba imisebenzi yakudala iye eyunivesithi kodwa khange ibonakale inomdla wokufunda. Bobabini bathabathe "amanyathelo" abo okuqala besebenzisa indlela ye- IBluebox, isixhobo esilinganisa iithowuni zomnxeba ukukhohlisa inkampani yezonxibelelwano kunye nokwenza iminxeba yasimahla ngokupheleleyo. Ngelixa uWoz wayethanda isoftware yasimahla kunye netekhnoloji, imisebenzi yamqinisekisa ukuba athengise iBluebox kwaye yayiyimpumelelo yakhe yokuqala kwezorhwebo.
Emuva ngo-1976 Wozniak wayebone ukuba ulwazi lwakhe luvuza kwaye uqale ukusebenza eHewlett-Packard (HP), ngelo xesha yayiyeyona nto ifanelekileyo ukuba sithathela ingqalelo ukuba zombini i-HP kunye ne-IBM bayilawula icandelo lekhompyuter kunye nokushicilela. Kulapho ke uWoz wenza ikhompyuter yakhe yokuqala yobuqu, nangona kunjalo, ikhontrakthi yakhe ne-HP yayifuna ukuba anike zonke izimvo zakhe kwinkampani. Okumangalisayo kukuba, i-HP yenqabile ukuvelisa ngobuninzi ikhompyuter yakho kwaye kulapho umhlobo wakhe uJob waqala ukumoqinisekisa ukuba ukuyithengisa kuya kuba licebo elilungileyo. Ngelo xesha uWozniak wayesele ezishiyile izifundo zakhe engagqibanga.
USteve Jobs, umhlobo wam osenyongweni, uya kuthatha uyilo lwam aluguqule lube yimveliso.
Kwakungo1976 ngoku xa uSteve Jobs kunye noSteve Wozniak baseka iApple, Nangona kunjalo, amashishini aphumeleleyo awayesenziwa lixilongo kuphahla lwendlu ayenento enye ngokufanayo: UWozniak wayengunjineli emva kwezo mveliso, ingqondo yokwenene yokucinga ekwaziyo ukuzisa izimvo ebomini. Iminyaka impumelelo ye-Apple yayihlala ihleli, enyanisweni ukusilela okunje ngeApple III kunye neApple Lisa bakhululwa, ngelixa Yimveliso eyenziwe ngu-Wozniak kuphela egcina inkampani iqhubeka.
Ubudlelwane "obunentiyo yothando" kunye nemisebenzi
USteve Wozniak akazange athethe kakubi ngoSteve Jobs, kodwa inyani kukuba khange enze nezitatimende zilungileyo. UWozniak wazibhengeza njengomthandi wesoftware yasimahla kunye nezixhobo ezihlaziyiweyo, ngokuchasene nemisebenzi, owenze umbono wobume obuvaliweyo obugcinwe yiApple ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Xa saqala nge-Apple, imisebenzi yayingazi nokuba kukho iikhompyuter zobuqu. Ngokwenyani, wayengenanjongo yokuzisa obu buchwephesha kufutshane nabantu, kwaye wayengakhathali ngezibonelelo abanokuzinika uluntu, wayeyazi kuphela indlela yokwenza izinto kwaye azithengise ngemali engaphezulu.
Ungquzulwano phakathi kweMisebenzi kunye noWozniak ngaphezulu kwexabiso leemveliso, "ukugqwethwa kwenyani" okudumileyo yi-CEO ye-Apple kunye nenyani yokuba ngaphandle kokuba ngabahlobo babenemigaqo ekude kakhulu eyayisenza ubudlelwane babo buqine. Ngelixa imisebenzi yayisebenza njenge-CEO engapheliyo, uWozniak wazinikela ekusebenzeni njengenye yeApple's kwaye wayeka ukuphuma kwimicimbi yeshishini, enyanisweni zange babenomdla kuye kakhulu.
Ingozi etshintshe yonke into
Nge-7 kaFebruwari, 1981 uSteve Wozniak kunye nentombi yakhe, uCandi Clark babekwingozi yenqwelomoya. Akukho mntu wenzakele kakhulu, kodwa uWozniak waphulukana nenkumbulo yakhe yexeshana kwaye ukubuyiswa kwakhe kwakude kakhulu. Oku kumsusile kwibhodi yabalawuli yeApple kule minyaka mine, kwaye wayenza kuphela ukuba axelele uSteve Jobs ukuba uyayishiya inkampani. Intloko yokucinga kunye nezandla zobuchwephesha zika-Apple ngokuqinisekileyo bezihambile ngo-1985. Eminye imbali. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, ibhodi ye-Apple ikwazile ukwenza ukuba uSteve Jobs arhoxe kwisikhundla sakhe kunye neminyaka eli-12 yeziphumo ezibi kuqinisekiswe ukuba ziphantse inkampani.
Ukusukela ngoko uSteve Wozniak uzinikele ikakhulu kwimfundo nakububele. Uthetha rhoqo kwiYunivesithi kwaye uzinikele ukukhuthaza izizukulwana ezitsha. Nangona kunjalo, USteve Wozniak usekuhlawulweni kuka-Apple, ukufumana malunga ne- $ 50 ngeveki. Kwaye kunjalo Ngaphandle kokushiya ubunkokheli be-Apple, u-Woz omdala olungileyo wagcina izabelo ezimbalwa kwinkampani awayisekayo ngo-1976 Kwaye bavelise injineli ubutyebi obumalunga ne-100 lezigidi zeedola.
Uyazi njani iWozniak ngokunzulu
Ngaphandle kwayo yonke into, uyathanda ukushiya iingxelo ezinempikiswano ezinje ngala "Apple ilahlekile indlela yayo" okanye "sisigulana esinguzero seCoronavirus eUnited States of America." Nangona kunjalo, Sishiya iingcebiso ezimbalwa ukuze wazi umsebenzi weWozniak kunye neApple, Ngapha koko, ngokutsho kwakhe, ifilimu esondeleyo kwinyani yeyokuqala kuluhlu.

Siyathemba ukuba ubuthandile ukwazi okungakumbi malunga UWozniak, oyena ndoqo weApple, ingqondo yokucinga emva kukaSteve Jobs.
