Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, made some surprising remarks in an interview. Wozniak says that Apple should spin-off its iPod business to a separate division because it distracts Apple from its core business-- computers. While acknowledging that the switch to Intel was a necessary evil, Wozniak says: "It's like consorting with the enemy. We've had this long history of saying the enemy is the big black-hatted guys, and they kind of represent evil. We are different, and by being different we're better. All of a sudden we're the same in this hardware regard, so it's a little hard to swallow your words from the past." Update: Wozniak now denies having made the claims. Just like politics, boys and girls!

Why does the techy 5% of the market feel that they speak for the other 95%?
Is it because, most of the time, that 5% gets the honor to be the unpaid consultant of said other 95%? Because the other 95% wouldn't know a computer if it bit them in the rear and needs the 5% to tell them that they can't go wrong with < enter computing platform here >?
It's just a thought. Maybe the techy 5% feels they are the voice, since they call the shots when it comes to the casual computer user.
