Wonder what it was like starting Apple?

A clip on you tube fromt he Santa Clara Valley Historical Association has a snippet of Steve Jobs talking about what it took for he and Woz to start Apple.  The expression that stands out in the clip that is most striking is the bit about “we had literally nothing to lose.”  The video is embedded below and the part with Steve Jobs begins at 1:52 int he clip.   It is a very telling emotion about how he felt about things and what drove them to “go for broke”.

Rebellious types built Apple — Would never happen in Singapore — Woz

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, Inc. has said that a different thinking company like Apple could never have emerged in a group think country of Singapore. His recent interview with the BBC on BBC Radio exposes the ultimate question he has for Singapore:

“Where are the creative people? Where are the great artists? Where are the great musicians? Where are the great writers?”

Although education and infrastructure play a major role in the foundation of Singaporean society, The whole concept that one should not thing for oneself is completely foreign to the free thinking and creative Woz.  “You have to inspire creativity” Woz said, also saying that it was companies like Apple, Inc. which embodied this concept.
