That's so unfortunate. I'm kind of bummed that (at least in your sample) the HN community seems to spam more about a businessman than an engineer.
I'm curious what will happen when Woz passes.

Please tell me the good news about him so I may change my mind.
He wasn't an engineer of any outstanding merit--see how he tried to nix expansion slots on the old Apples, or the Atari debacle, or other such things.
Moreover, he's done nothing but create lasting damage as a role model for future CEOs (have you ever dealt with a CEO doing something stupid because "Steve was right"?) and foster a culture of isolation and consumerism in technology. Apple v. Samsung is rubbish, and the petulant Android vendetta is hardly something we should celebrate.
