Steve Wozniak Speaks on Steve Jobs Resignation, Apple Future

Steve Wozniak says his fellow Apple co-founder Steve Jobs needs to relax. In the wake of Jobs stepping down as CEO of the company they both founded, the Woz said, “Steve needs now to just have some ‘Steve time’ … He deserves it.” Why? Not just because of his physical health problems, but mentally. “[Jobs] really has had to sacrifice a lot to run Apple … I mean, just your time, everybody wants you day and night, that’s what I mean by sacrifices.” “He has given his all. It takes so much out of anyone to be under just constant pressure and demands like that,” Wozniak said of his fellow mogul. As to the future of Apple, Wozniak is optimistic: “Remember, [Jobs] was surrounded by great, great people at Apple … those people are still there.” It’s true. Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, who will take over as Apple CEO, has effectively run the company since Jobs’ medical leave in January. Short story: The iPad 3 and iPhone 5 are gonna be so awesome.

Kal Penn Robbed At Gunpoint

‘Harold & Kumar’ actor’s wallet and cell phone were taken early Tuesday morning in Washington, D.C. By Greg M. Schwartz Kal Penn Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Kal Penn was robbed at gunpoint in Washington, D.C., at 1:20 a.m. Tuesday (April 20), according to The Washington Post. Penn, best known for his roles in the “Harold & Kumar” films and TV’s “House,” reported that the first suspect approached him with a gun and ordered him to get down on the ground before taking his wallet and cell phone. A second suspect then joined him. Jennifer Goodwin, Penn’s agent, confirmed to The Associated Press. that the actor was robbed early Tuesday morning. Penn recently resigned from an associate-director job in the White House Office of Public Engagement to return to his acting career. Before stepping down, he had been tasked with working with Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts groups. Penn took the job in April 2009 but announced earlier this month that he was leaving his post to participate in a third “Harold & Kumar” flick. “A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas” will hit theaters in November. Penn’s “Harold & Kumar” co-star John Cho recently confirmed to Collider.com that the “Christmas” script is in. He said the story is set sometime after the events of the second movie and that there’s a plan to bring Neil Patrick Harris back, despite the fact ( spoiler alert! ) that he was killed in “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.”
