 I'm Tom Merritt from Daily Tech News Show. Here are five things Jobs and Waz did that weren't Apple. [♪ upbeat music playing in the background [♪ Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Well, of course, they started Apple. Waz designed the hardware, Jobs propelled the business. They're intertwined in the lore as the people who made Apple. But that's not the only thing they did. Heck, it's not the only thing they did together. Here are the top five things Jobs and Waz did that weren't Apple. [♪ upbeat music playing in the background [♪ Number five, Hewlett Packard. Steve Wozniak had a job at Hewlett Packard designing calculators. Steve Jobs got a summer job at Hewlett Packard working on a mainframe computer and that's when the two got to know each other really well that summer. [♪ upbeat music playing in the background [♪ Coming in at number four, Blue Boxes. Jobs and Wazniak's first business together was selling Blue Boxes in October 1971. These were devices that generated the tones that let users make long-distance phone calls for free. Wazniak billed them, Jobs sold around 200 of them, and they also got robbed together once while they were trying to sell one of those Blue Boxes. [♪ upbeat music playing in the background [♪ Up to number three, Breakout. Turnabout came in 1973 when Jobs worked at Atari helping make the circuit boards for the arcade version of Breakout. To earn $100 bonuses for eliminating the need for chips on the board, Jobs offered to split the bonus with Wazniak. Waz reduced the chips by 50, though the prototype lacked scoring and coin mechanisms, so it was never used in a shipping product. Sliding in at number two, The Us Festival. Not everything the pair did outside Apple was together. Wazniak took a leave of absence from Apple in 1981 after a plane crash and he partnered with concert promoter Bill Graham, legendary concert promoter Bill Graham, to put on two Us Festivals near San Bernardino, California. Some of the headline acts were David Bowie, Van Halen, Men at Work. The second show during the 1983 U.S. Memorial Day weekend drew a record 670,000 people. Despite the attendance, each of these shows lost an estimated $12 million. At number one, Next and Pixar. Steve Jobs' non-Apple enterprises were fairly successful. Next computers began by building workstations that students could afford, but it was its operating system, Next Step, that became its main product. Apple acquired Next in 1997 and that brought Jobs back to Apple and gave them the operating system which evolved into OS X. Jobs also acquired Pixar from George Lucas in 1986 and took it from being a hardware and software company to a movie-making powerhouse that Disney bought in 2006. Whether together or separate, there is no denying that Jobs and Waz are an iconic and successful pair in the annals of tech history. So tip all the hats.
