bargsbeer shared an article with me. +1 to him for finding the article.
Steve Wozniak On Apple Security, Employee Termination, and Gray Powell - Steve Wozniak - Gizmodo
And I've done a lot of digging on the net to find information about this article. Cause something just does not add up here. On the surface it look like this (in my opinion):
Steve Jobs has his principles and refuses to break them. And it seems if an Apple employee intentionally breaks the NDA, he will be fired but if it was a mistake you're ok. Even if the mistake is 100x bigger then the other intentional incident. Like I think Steve would mean "I trust you to work at Apple, and if you break it you're fired".
But also there is Woz. From what I know he's still on Apple's books. I don't know what Woz does for Apple these days mind you. Not much. So why fire someone for showing Woz an Apple product? Maybe Steve does not trust Woz anymore. I think Woz's "down to earth funny nice kinda bloke" is the reason. Steve might think he's able to keep a secret and if Woz blurts something out, Woz might think nothing of it but Steve would.
I really am not sure how to take this article. All I can say for certain is "show Apple pre-release products to Woz and you get fired".
