Woz always seemed a really good guy.

Yeah, Woz seems like a pretty cool dude, but I can not see him winning this thing. His fat stomach is gonna get in the way of his performance. :eek:

Agreed, i love Woz, he just wants everyone to be happy.

I strongly suggest everyone read iWoz and find out a different perspective to how apple was formed.

Go Woz!

Funny you say that, it actually seems like apart from the gut, hes in the best shape of his adult life (look at his legs and how nimbly he can move for a guy that size).

[ziggyonice]

He does seem like a lot of fun, just likes to have a good time. And even though I can't actually see him winning the competition, it's pretty awesome that he's a part of it. I've never watched the show, but perhaps if I had a couple reminders to vote for him, I'll definitely do it.

We Mac users are definitely known for our rhythm, grace, and athleticism. At least the minority of us who ever get up from our computer.

For comparison, see the competition dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc4MzqBFxZE).

That just gets worse every time you see it, no matter how many times you have!:(

[Moriarty]

Go Woz! :D Good on you for doing that stuff, and giving us some entertainment as well :)

[Mac Kiwi]

I wonder if he can resist from doing some kind of prank on TV? I mean that would be the motherlode of pranks would it not :D


I hope he has a good time and the audience gets to see his personality.

I'm half way through the audio book just now, he's just building the apple 1 and SJ has been mentioned maybe 3 times so far?????????

[inigel]

Woah, she is definitely a step up from Kathy Griffin! Go Woz!

ROFL. :D That clip never gets old! (And it truly displays Microsoft: getting all jumpy and excited over nothing)

But anyway it looks pretty good so far. Woz will do a great job. :cool:

I think when Steve returns to Apple in June, they should invite both Steve and Bill Gates in a head-to-head type of competition. Wouldn't that be neat?

[Sijmen]

Woz is awesome.

[Willis]

Woz is such a great guy.

I quite liked that video in general too, seemed a bit amateurish, but.. good none the less

[stagi]

Thats great!

[TheSlush]

Grab the fruit, Woz, grab the fruit!

[twoodcc]

i hope he does good in this. normally i wouldn't watch the show, but i might now

[winterspan]

HAHAHA nice.. He's actually in a lot better shape than I thought..

[sushi]

Woz is cool! :)

The horror... The horror... The horror...

The prank would have to be clever.

[cwedl]

lets hope it doesn't get to that.

[bobbleheadbob]

I got a chance to meet him briefly at MacWorld this year. All I can say is what a cool character! :) Go, Woz, go!! :D

[NT1440]

lets hope it doesn't get to that.

Why not? Hes a great guy!

[Mr. Giver '94]

Ok just wondering, why isn't Woz in charge while Steve is away??? :confused:

He'd do a better job than Tim Cook in my opinion. Maybe then we'd actually see half the things we've been asking for. ;)


^^^Actually that's probably why he isn't in charge.

He left apple a long time ago, tho he still recieves an engineers salary because he does pop in once in a while. He himself said he'd HATE the idea of every having to be in the business climate. He is first and formost an engineer.

Seriously, iWoz, great book, every apple fan should read it.

I know he doesn't work at Apple now, but he's been very involved with the company over the years and knows his stuff.

I guess I can understand him not wanting to get into the business climate again. Plus he has so much dancing to do!

well he was never involved in the business aspect (besides giving away lots of stock to employess cuz hes such a nice guy) but yea, id imagine dancing is taking alot of time right now.

Hes in ALOT better shape than I thought, look at those legs!

[caliguy]

A bit off topic.. I liked the bad apple bit at the end of the clip. Cover Flow in Safari is a bit too far.

[jayducharme]

Did anyone catch Wozniak on the show? He was a lot of fun to watch and it was apparent he was having the time of his life, grinning ear to ear. The judges panned him, but he didn't care. When he was asked what he was planning for the next dance number, he happily replied, "More of the same."

There was also a humorous response to the emcee asking him what to do with his Mac because he couldn't empty his trash. Woz casually told him to erase his hard drive and reinstall the system. :)

For the curious, here it is:

he was enjoying himself!!!!!! good on him!
can you imagine SJ doing it:cool:

[Doctor Q]

Congrats, Woz. How many founders of computer companies are referred to as "the nicest man alive"?

[maccompaq]

After Woz wins the crystal ball, he will return to Apple, inc as Chairman. He will then design a computer that is so awesome that Apple market share will rocket to 50%.

[Doctor Q]

[maccompaq]

Make it 49% Woz, so we will retain our cool cult status. :cool:

Done. Apple market share at 49%.
When the next generation of iPhone hits the market in June along with the amazing Apple MacBook Mini, the stock will shoot up to $200, and everyone will be happy. Even Mrs Gates will buy it incurring the wrath of Bill.

[iWoz]

thanks guys LOL
