“When Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976, the two Steves assumed it would last forever,” Jon Swartz reports for USA Today. “Woz still believes that’s true.

“‘Apple will be around a long time, like IBM (which was founded in 1911),’ Wozniak said in an interview on Friday. ‘Look at Apple’s cash ($246.1 billion, as of the end of its last fiscal quarter). It can invest in anything. It would be ridiculous to not expect them to be around (in 2075). The same goes for Google and Facebook,'” Swartz reports. “Deserts could be ideal locations for cities of the future, designed and built from scratch, according to Wozniak.

It sucks to turn 30.
