Hahahaha!

Go Woz Go!

 

[MarkMS]

Three letters! O M G!

 

[angemon89]

Ok, I am watching this for sure.

 

[zombitronic]

Awesome! Why so negative?? No, I do not watch this tacky show but it's cool that Woz has the cajones try this. Plus, he'll probably get a really hot dance partner.

 

[kjs862]

This isn't good.

 

[NT1440]

This isn't good.

Why?

I might actually watch for the 2 episodes hell be on.

 

[mac jones]

Doesn't look like he has a weight problem (i mean weight loss problem )

 

[kjs862]

Why?

I was hoping maybe Woz would return to Apple someday, but after this I don't see how someone can take him seriousoly

I wonder if this will affect his new Day job?

The new day job seemed like a lark anyway

 

[rpaloalto]

Please do it on the segway!
Please do it on the segway
Please do it on the segway
Please do it on the segway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love Woz, I suggest everyone take a read of his book iWoz, its great!

I'm sure he will. He does every thing else on it.

 

[WardC]

They will have to invent a new dance for him:

The Vienese Woz!



Very cool, I hope he does well. I know he will have alot of people out there rooting for him, and hopefully the votes will float his way. Also, everbody who's been on the show says it is incredible excercise and a good way to lose weight. I would do it. Good luck Woz!

 

[Shasterball]

Really? I mean, really? What audience with this guy pull in?

 

[NT1440]

He actually still technically is part of apple, collects a paycheck anyway.
Why does anyone need to take an engineer seriously? He wouldnt be a figurehead.

 

[rockosmodurnlif]

surely this is a page 2 story?
if that?

A guy who no longer does anything important is going on reality TV in America?

This shows that Macrumors OFFICIALLY has NOTHING to talk about.

They could at least make up some news and/or rumors like they usually do.

Just post something about the iPhone having copy/paste or something about a Powerbook G5 and watch the site hit soar.

Hello! This is the co-founder of Apple appearing on a highly rated national television program. Even if he is dancing. This is both news and a page 1 story.

 

[Freis968]

I see all of his integrity flying right out of the window...bye bye

 

[jackfrost123]

Why don't you find him likable? He's just a big dorky goofball.

yeah well I kinda like him at times, but sometimes he's giving me the impression that this is just a put on, a facade.

 

[NT1440]

Read the book then. I don't think you could ever fake being that genuinely dorky/oddly loveable.

Yeah, it has lost almost 60% of its stock value. Even though it is starting to go up again, it is still pretty low. If it for some reason went below $70 a share, Apple would be in trouble.

AAPL was at $86 when I bought almost exactly 2 years ago. Show me another stock that hasn't dropped below it's 2 year ago price.

That said, I wish I had sold my 200 shares at $210. And rebought at $80.

It's a steal right now people. This economy will recover in a couple years. Andy good company is a steal right now. You can easily double your portfolio in 2 years.

For those unfamiliar with this show, the guy who played 'Cliff' on Cheers made it to week 6 when he was 59 years old.

uhhhh.. i am familiar with the show.. and my comment had nothing to do with the his age.. but the fact the he is incredibly over weight and appears to have no athletic ability whatsoever.. i mean.. the guy barely even walks anywhere.. also i dont think he has a personality that will entertain the viewers in order to keep him.

 

[zombitronic]

Really? I mean, really? What audience with this guy pull in?

Mac nerds. But he's not the only one on the show so there will be other audiences. Like fans of Steve-O and Lil' Kim.

 

[SFStateStudent]

I wonder if he'll have his segway with him...

 

[mac jones]

In truth "W.O.Z." is short for " Wizard of OZ"

He's actually the evil genius behind the curtain.

Jobs is just an Android he created.

Hail the WOZ!


(slow news day)

This guy is an embarrassment. He hasn't done anything useful in... how long? And now he's going to be an old, fat dork on a stupid TV show. Gee, that's really great.
