He did it. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and nerd superhero, just made his debut on Dancing with the Stars. As you'd expect, the surprisingly nimble Woz enjoyed himself without concern of mockery. But as one judge put it, "overall it was a disaster." Hey Woz, you're still a champion to us.
LMAO!
Woz is the American version of John Sergeant...
iWoz laughing a little myself.
But in all seriousness, he is pretty nimble for a portly fellow I have to say, and I thought he did fairly well all things considered (especially compared to some other trainwrecks on the show)
Ya it was funny, but you gotta give him props for having a good attitude and treating it as fun.
iWozed my pants a little watching that
Wow, that was awful. But how can you not smile watching that. :)
He did a hell of a lot better than I could.
@msalivar: That's what I thought too... You're a terrible dancer. ;)
I dunno bout you but I got distracted by Karina ... nice dress ...
I smiled...while cringing and assuming the fetal position.
Why Woz...WHY?!
I suppose he's just trying to prove that he can be quick on his feet sans Segway.
I think this is going to become the meme of 2009. The Woz Roll, if you will...
Oh god, please no.
I lol'd
Isn't this fatty supposed to be on "The Biggest Loser" instead of this??
just sad... just completely sad... go retire and play segway polo rich man... geek culture suffered an ultimate FAIL tonight
Wow.... his iJoke was a definitey FAIL.....
Testing for drugs tomorrow? lol at him saying it, not @ the joke....... hilarious
definite**
I missed that one...
Yeah. He made the crowd go WHAT?
Bring in the VOTES!!
God will this show just die please.
I hear that!
and yet they finally got geeks the world over to watch their show... for four minutes and thirty seconds... on youtube.
No way man. The outfits that the females (pros) wear are alone worth the price of sitting through an episode. Just look at his partners outfit.
I pretty much have no choice anyway since my wife loves it.
You have a wife? What are you doing on Engadget?
That was entertaining to watch. Busting his chops more than anything, but of course they're gonna be the critics. Big guy like that, it's nice to have seen him do that knee spin!
"so much fun, they're testing me for drugs tomorrow"....-_-
:) he's having fun. leave him alone.
hohohoh, great dance woz....:D
next time do better... :d
I liked it. It looked fun.
This man is a hero amongst men.I love that he just doesn't care and does whatever he likes to do.
Then ofcourse if I had a few billion on the bank I could care less about others too ;)
if you read his book you notice he never really cared about the riches at all but just the fun of innovating and trying new things.
That's easy to say after you have ALREADY MADE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
He never cared. As much as people like to think otherwise, Jobs is the business man whereas Woz was always about development. He is all about having fun and this is before Apple was founded. Read iWoz, its a pretty good book and an eye opener of sorts...
"You ain't seen nothing yet..."
I haven't until I saw the Woz bust a move...
marry me?
Honestly, say what u want about his dance, but his enthusiasm makes it worth to watch.
Introducing the iTubby. Wow, I've just realized how especially descriptive that is :).
oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, dear dear dear..
we all need to keep voting for him every week; get that nerd vote out there, theres prolly not enough of us to make him win, but theres certainly has to be enough to have him survive a few more weeks, right?
I love people who can laugh at themselves in such a public way. This is a quality that Mr. Jobs lacks entirely.
totally. jobs and woz are polar opposites. personality, charisma, lbs..
HUGE respect to Woz, that was awesome. IMO he did just as great as could be expected. Anybody who has ever danced knows that dancing like that really isn't quite as easy as it looks (although not extremely difficult either) but I guess you nerds have never even tried ;)
At least no one got hurt. I think.
Woz is great, but I question the point of having him in the show. Are they simply try to make fun a big geeks like Woz?
If Safari freezes you have to reinstall it! :D
No, but seriously, I think he would perhaps do even better if he was on a segway and had one of those japanese dancing robots for a companion.
Wow, he was as graceful as a Commodore 64 in a TuTu....

On a side note, I guess the "Finder" could not find any good moves, this caused Safari to crash and "Windows" to fall from the "Home"
I think that judge spent 2 months coming up with the Teletubby line. Just when I thought Woz had no coordination he did that ground knee slide thing.
Yeah, that french dude was a bastard. karina (or whatever her name is) looked like she was about to kick his ass!
