"He wasn't a product guy, and you need a product not just raw tech to sell. Selling stuff being somewhat important for a company."

Check out Clive Sinclair - he was an engineer and did pretty damn well selling his computers in the UK. Maybe Woz couldn't have done that, but it doesn't mean Jobs was the one required to help him, any competenant marketing type could have done the same. Vew few people could have designed the hardware and software that Woz did at the time.

Comment Re:I have 2 kids...not concerned + can't ban cars (Score 1) 79

Some parents don't know or don't care what their kids do and this would be just another thing to screw with their kids heads.

"We don't go around banning cars to nerf the world for our children."

No, but we do ban drugs, don't sell kids cigarettes and have a minimum age for drinking for a reason - they're children, not small adults, they don't think the same way as adults and don't yet have those mental tripwires that stop them doing stupid stuff so we have to stop them doing it.

You don't need avionic grade electronics for something that only lasts a few minutes after firing. I worked on an air to ground missile project and the electronics were automotive grade. Also there was the bare minimum heat shielding internally too - by the time the boards had got hot enough to fry it would have hit its target anyway or the fuel would have run out so why add extra weight.
