...Wozniak said the biggest obstacle with the growing prevalence of technology is that our personal devices are unreliable.
"Little things that work one day; they don't work the next day," he said enthusiastically, waving his hands. "I think it's much harder today than ever before to basically know that something you have ... is going to work tomorrow."

Well that is more like, he was talking about very early technology. What the h3ll is Sling box? ?
Reciting an all-too-common living-room frustration, Wozniak told a story about the countless hours he spent trying to troubleshoot his media player, called Slingbox.
At the end of the article.
Whether computers work all the time or not, the formula certainly worked to make Apple a wildly successful business.
Woz, Is merely citing, technology as a whole. I would agree with that to a point.
You mean that the (Great Woz) could not figure that out ? ?
I guess Apple TV - no one has figured that either?
I will say that TV's has to get into a more computer friendly mode.
First off.. he didn't say he couldn't figure it out. He was troubleshooting it. This was after he said that one day things work and the next they don't...
Secondly... how does Wozs inability to troubleshoot the Sling box translate to no one figuring out the Apple TV????/?

Here again

Exactly. The article never said that he DID in fact figured it out <-- correct --> just says he spent many hours trouble shooting.
I used the Apple TV as a reference product to (Slug TV) or was it Slime TV? Point being if it was Apple TV maybe he would not have spent all those worthless hours, (trouble shooting) - hence maybe his comment about technology would be different.
