As the article points out, Woz was Chief Scientist at Fusion-IO [1] as well. That company struggled [2] before being acquired by SanDisk for less than the IPO price.

It was a different story in 2011 when Woz went on CNBC and said that the company "has grown as fast as Apple so far" [3] pushing the stock to the highest point it would ever reach just a month before the share lock-up expiration [4].

I thought that Woz had moved to Australia in a partnership with UTS (http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/apple-cofou...).

I was a judge for a different session at DEMO. First time there, pretty interesting stuff.

That's not a very big market.

It's only a small market in today's (arguably inflated) valuations. Plenty of publicly traded companies have valuations in the millions, rather than billions.
