by Mike Schramm (Aug 30th, 2010)

I'm looking forward to the Big Bang Theory episode with Steve Wozniak, both because I'm a fan of the show, and because who doesn't love the Woz? A post on the CBS forums says that the episode with the Apple co-founder is coming up on September 30th, just the second episode of the show's new season. ...

by Mike Schramm (Jul 26th, 2010)

Our own Steve Wozniak is scheduled to appear on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory sometime later this year, the cast and crew told an audience at their Comic-Con panel this weekend. Woz is already no stranger to television, of course, but I think this is the first time he's appeared on a ...

by Mike Schramm (Jul 15th, 2010)

For all of his exceptional qualities, part of Woz' popularity these days lies in the fact that he is really the prototypical Apple fan -- he stands in line like everyone else, he postulates about Steve Jobs' condition, and he loves the products just as much as we do. So when even Woz admits to ...

by Dave Caolo (Apr 5th, 2010)

Woz to buy two iPads

by Mike Schramm (Mar 30th, 2010)

Newsweek chatted with one Steve Wozniak the week before the iPad launch, and unsurprisingly, he's going all-in on the new device, and planning on picking up (at least) two, one WiFi and one 3G. He's ordered them up online already, but he says he'll still be stopping by an Apple Store on Friday ...

Found Footage: Woz on coloring computers

by Mike Schramm (Feb 5th, 2010)

This video of Woz talking about the "revolutionary" idea of putting color into computers is amazing. It sounds like an LSD trip -- he says he was awake for four days in a row, plunged into some sort of television screenglow madness, and somehow emerged from this zeroes-and-ones induced frenzy ...

Dancing Woz cries foul, then backs down

by Michael Rose (Mar 18th, 2009)

He was resplendent in a pink satin shirt and geek glasses, but based on his comments earlier one might have thought he should dress in "anger-management purple" instead. Steve Wozniak, Apple's co-founder and current Dancing With The Stars contestant, picked a fight yesterday with the show's ...

SCOTTEVEST: Think you can make a better Woz ad? Prove it!

by Steven Sande (Mar 12th, 2009)

Woz is set for his Dancing with the Stars debut

by Mike Schramm (Feb 20th, 2009)

ABC has released a promo picture of Woz and his dancing partner in the upcoming series of Dancing with the Stars, and it is amazing. Woz is looking good.
