"Most of the stuff written about Wozniak portrays him as an amiable buffoon. By most accounts, Woz is a talented engineer who got lucky in his early career and became fabulously wealthy. Then he dropped out to be an unsuccessful concert promoter, launch a couple of go-nowhere startups and teach school. It appears Woz has bounced from one thing to another without much commitment or direction. Along the way, he squandered much of his fortune and was a soft touch for every charity and cause under the sun."

I personally don't think it's any of our business how much these guys donate, or even if they donate.
We are so quick to jump on the bandwangon and point the finger, but donating is a personal thing, and something that shouldn't be advertised.
I'm not going to ask each and everyone here how much of their money they donate? That is something you decide to do, and should never be forced into it by anyone!!!
Jobs may or may not donate money, but that isn't the point. Jobs is Jobs, like him or not...
Bill Gates may donate millions, but he can. I couldn't care less either way to be honest, that isn't what makes me admire him or not... If Jobs suddenly donated billions, a lot of people here would still hate him, saying he was doing it to raise his public profile or something. I personally believe that when you give money, you shouldn't say a thing to anyone about it, not advertise the fact about how good you are...
