Apple's co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak generally get most of the credit for the company's early success, but according to Wozniak, there's another occasionally overlooked figure who really deserves the credit. ``Mike Markkula was actually the one man and one person who made Apple a successful company,'' Wozniak said Friday at a business lecture in Australia, according to Perth Now, a local paper.

I'm still trying to work out where and how Apple will go on without Jobs. I suspect people at Apple are, too, even though the story was that a 5-year roadmap was put in place before the mercurial Apple co-founder passed away last year.

Fusion-io and Adobe teamed up at NAB 2012 to keynote the Post Production World Conference.

The Apple II, you see, was introduced to the world 35 years ago at the West Coast Computer Faire. The 8-bit machine would go on sale to the general public less than two months later on June 5, 1977.

It remains to be seen whether or not Ashton Kutcher really can pull off the role of Steve Jobs – I’m still skeptical — but at least now we have a little more detail about the circumstances under which the Two and a Half Men star will be playing the late Apple founder. In a recent interview, first-time producer Mark Hulme spilled the beans on the movie’s focus, what he saw in Kutcher, which other real-life tech gurus will be represented in the film, and more.

Whereas one might imagine the high-stakes battle for supremacy in the technology industry being won and lost in the research laboratory, it is increasingly looking like a crack team of lawyers beats a battery of boffins every time. Patents have become a crucial strategic weapon in skirmishes between technology giants including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung Electronics as they battle for control of lucrative smartphone and tablet computer markets.
