Wozniak: I wish Apple and Google were partners

Back in the 1970s, Steve Jobs met Steve Wozniak, and the rest, if you like, is history. The two became firm friends and although Steve Jobs often gets the credit for Apple’s success, it was Woz, as he’s known, who was the brains behind the silicon.
 
He spoke to the BBC’s technology programme Click.
 
Computers are on the verge of understanding human gestures and speech, but it has not yet been perfected. Wozniak says he often finds Android human speech recognition software is more accurate than Apple’s Siri.
 
"Sometimes I say ‘Go to Joe’s Diner’ and [Siri] doesn’t know where Joe’s Diner is. And very often usually I find out that Android does."
 
Wozniak says this is due to Android’s access to Google’s search engine.
 
"That is actually the future of intelligence probably for computers getting smarter and getting artificial intelligence. I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future."
 
But how likely would a partnership between the two companies be?
 
"I don’t know. If I were there, it would be pretty likely. I’m probably wrong, there’s probably an awful lot I don’t know about the business concerns and one thing you’ve got to remember is a company has always got to make money," says Wozniak.
