  1. Times of India | 'Never sold my stake for $800': Apple co-founder Ronald Wayne reveals truth about viral 'missed opportunity'

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Ronald Wayne, the often‑overlooked third co‑founder of Apple, clarified at the recent Apple@50 event that he never sold his original 10 % stake for $800 as the popular myth suggests. Wayne explained that he drafted Apple’s initial partnership agreement and helped create the first logo, but walked away twelve days later in 1976 because, before Apple was incorporated, the partners faced unlimited personal liability—especially after securing a $15,000 order for 50 Apple I computers. The modest $800 payment he received was, in his view, merely a “tip,” not a buyout of his equity. He emphasized that his share was earned when the company was formed on April 1, 1976, and that his departure was a precaution against potential debts, not a missed financial opportunity. Today he continues to work on engineering projects focused on performance and power‑efficiency.

  5. #apple50 book

    durante o desenvolvimento perceberam que protótipos do Apple Watch quando usados no chuveiro confundiam as gotas caindo com toques de dedos, fazendo o watch mexer sozinho

    pra debugar o problema eles providenciaram:

    “construction of a shower simulator, in order to study the characteristics of water droplets as they struck the watch’s screen: their size, positions, frequency, and duration of contact”

    um simulador de chuveiro

    não seria…….

    um chuveiro?

  15. RE: teknopata.eus/2026/04/applek-5

    Atzo #50 urte bete ziren #Apple enpresa sortu zutenetik. Bizpahiru mugarri nabarmentzeko eskatu zidaten Euskadi Irratitik, eta hemen utzi ditut soberan geratu ziren notak.

    Asko aldatu dira gauzak 50 urtean, eta ✌️ erdi antisistema✌️ izatetik, kontsumoko informatikaren kakaztearen eragile nagusienetakoa izatera pasa da Apple. Lastima! 🤷🏻‍♂️ #apple50

  16. Weird that the #apple50 video doesn’t seem to include a doodle for the OG iMac or powerbook/macbook
