Gamer turned co-founder

August 16, 2024

Which tech entrepreneur sold a game to Atari at the age of 12 and later became a co-founder of one of the most successful tech companies ever? Was it … A.) Jeff Bezos, B.) Bill Gates, C.) Steve Jobs or D.) Elon Musk?

The answer: Steve Jobs. Get this: When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak designed the arcade game Breakout, Jobs sold it to Atari for $5,000. But he told Wozniak they were paid $700 and gave him half, or $350. Years later, Wozniak discovered the lie and said he would’ve been happy to give Jobs the larger share if he’d known. Yeah, right.

Kendrick Lamar is somewhere laughing: Drake just dropped a 100GB folder of music, videos, photos and random content for his superfans. There are three unreleased tracks, but the bulk is behind-the-scenes footage of him making music, as well as storms in Miami. There are 13 videos of just rain and wind knocking around palm trees. Uh, neat.
