    File this under 'I've made a huge mistake'

    I read this article yesterday and thought that this guy definitely gets the Gob Bluth Award for Huge Mistakiness. He says he has no regrets, but... really?

    Apple's Third Co-Founder and the $35 Billion He Left Behind


    And while we're all familiar with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, you probably have never heard of Ronald Wayne, Apple's third-co-founder, who bailed out early, and gave up his ten percent stake in Apple for $800.

    Had he kept it, that stake would be worth $35 billion today.

    But he insists he has absolutely no regrets.
    I have nothing else to say at this time.

    Yeah, he's lying. Hey, he coulda bought back in in the early 2000's and done alright. IF he were smart enough to hold onto to the stock and not do something "prudent" like sell it after it doubled.
    There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

          I remember going to a traditional barber shop as a kid. It had a barber pole and Playboys on the table. That's old school, back when men were men.
