“It has become a tradition to find Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak waiting first in line for the next big Apple product,” Shira Lazar reports for What’s Trending.
“Tonight, was no different as Wozniak checked in on Foursquare at the Westfield Mall in Century City, California,” Lazar reports. “The new tablet is available for pre-order and in stores at 8 am Friday, March 16.”
Lazar reports, “We decided to head to the mall for an impromptu video interview with Wozniak where he shared his thoughts on the new iPad, his continued excitement over Apple products and his reaction to the projects that Apple will possibly grow to a trillion dollar tech company. Woz also touches on Steve Jobs passing and the legacy of his products.”

A great legendary guy…
Woz is a lovely cute geek! Cheers to you Woz!
Man he’s starting to look like he just left the shire.
“what’s that?”
“it’s a pint”
“It comes in pints?!!”
Great guy but what he’s really lining up for is a chance to be seen, recognized, and feel important, amongst the “real people” as he puts it.
He is one of the real people, and he loves life. It’s not about ego for him, as should be obvious by now.
Love you Woz. May the Gods smile on you, always.
“I use foursquare and check in so my wife will know where I am.” ok, that’s funny.
There were only about 4 people there, so I doubt he’s feeling too “important”, but he’s there because he’s speaking at the Apple Investor conference put together by Jason Schwarz. I hope he doesn’t fall asleep on-stage!
Just a very pleasant, normal person to talk to. Which tends to create this disconnect from this larger-than-life technology legend and super-hero.
Whoever shot this video, would it have killed him/her to bring a $100 LED light fixture for his camcorder? You can barely tell this is Woz, and if I were to bump into that interviewer in the street tomorrow, I wouldn’t know it, since her face is in almost complete darkness. I know audio is infinitely more important than video (and audio was quite decent), but I bet even my 70-year old aunt would make sure some light is turned on somewhere, so that we can actually see the faces.
Now, get off my lawn!
I agree, about the poor lighting. However I am thinking the interviewer and the camera did not want blind Woz with light. If you ever had a massive foot candle brilliance in eyes after being accustomed to the dark, it not a great feeling.
That was a good interview. I always like to hear what Woz has to say. Kudos to the journalist, I didn’t get her name but she did a really nice job.
‘Geniune,’ and ‘passionate’ are the words that comes to mind while watching Woz talk. I like the guy.
Genuine. (come on MDN, edit please.)
Woz, what the heck you doing down there in lala land. Get back up here to Silicon valley where you belong. You should have been at Valley Fair Apple store again. Really.
I got Woz’s signature on my Macworld program about 4 or 5 years ago. A treasure!
Wiz is so awesome! They should let him give a keynote.
