Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak voices his frustration with Toyota for not acknowledging a software glitch he discovered in his 2010 Prius that causes the accelerator to go wild under certain conditions of cruise control.

"It's in the software, it's not a bad accelerator pedal," he says. "It can be very scary, but luckily for me I can hit the brake."

What he was talking about was that he already knew the science behind how colors are created. They are waves of light of different frequencies for different colors. That's how our eyes perceive them. In practice he DID manipulate those lightwaves but it wasn't anything magical or with godlike powers or anything of the sort. He basically discovered how to make a color TV and used the existing electronics of the day to physically modulate the frequency of the signals to a specific frequency that every color has. He was ahead of his time as an inventor and engineer when he figured out how a color TV could be made.

Do you guys know the method he's describing for creating color? Is he saying he physically manipulated the light waves?

It's news for the clueless majority. This one's as bad as the Noo Yawka interviewer they had for the R. Crumb interview. In both cases, here are these geniuses that they know nothing about and whose ideas they will never be able to comprehend.

Apple does things THEIR way without regard to user input. It's all about profit and technological arrogance contrary to all the hype about user friendliness.

The interviewer lady has no idea what kind of genius is sitting there talking across from her.
