Wozniak and Kathy Griffin End Relationship

Woz and Kathy Griffin have been dating since mid '07, but their relationship has just come to an end. Strangely. Via email. Griffin has this to say:

"As a matter of fact," she added, "I got an email last week from him, and he is going to marry someone else... I think he might be married. I don't really know that for sure, though."

We're still not sure what happened between the 47-year-old Griffin and the 57-year-old Woz, but we suppose that fewer details are better in this case. [US Magazine via VW]

How To: Woz's Segway Polo Tutorial

Segways and Polo. Those two cups of tea are not really my bag, or whatever. But Woz's videos on how to play Segway Polo are an interesting look at the rule book. You can't ram or shove others, or run your Segway into the goal like those cheating bastards in Super Mario Strikers. (You know who you are.) More »

Afternoon News: Dark Knight Tomatoes, Woz's Odor, Shopping With Microsoft and More

• In 1950, a guy who cuts a tomato in half and finds its center bears resemblance to the Batman logo laughs and eats it. In 2008, he sells it on eBay. [eBay]
• Fake Steve says "There's something in the air" is really just a joke about Woz's gas problems. That's the best guess I've heard yet. [FSJ]
• Microsoft is working on grocery carts with video displays that show commercials and allow self-checkout. [Yahoo!/AP]
• The Japanese government is working with private companies on ultra high-definition video, which will show images up to 33 million pixels and may be seen as early as 2015. First they one-up us on the ladder to heaven, now this, I can't take it anymore! [Google News/AFP]

Latest by EagleEye: The Batman tomato guy has actually stumbled upon something much more sinister: if he rotated that tomato he'd see that it was a mushroom cloud and it's own reflection. I therefore suggest we rename it the Isaac Mendez tomato. more »

Woz Wants YOU to Play Segway Polo

We tuned in for Woz's grand Segway polo match today. Aside from the simultaneously eerie and warm feeling we got from Steve Wozniak's shirt bearing a striking resemblance to our old high school's band booster wear, we weren't able to enjoy much of the very short broadcast of the match. In fact, we have no idea who won, cried, made out with Kathy Griffen or anything. More »

Woz's Online Segway Polo Match to Rival Super Bowl's Hype, Viewership

Get ready for an event of epically nerdy proportions. It's a Segway polo match… being broadcast live on the internet… featuring Woz. The only way this thing could get more nerdy would be if they took a Dungeons and Dragons break at halftime. Oh, and if instead of drinking Gatorade were breastfed by their mothers. Mark your calendars and place your bets! The sporting event of the century goes down on Sunday, December 16 at 1 p.m. EST! [The Digital Lifestyle]

Steve Jobs to be Featured in Epcot Without Woz?

Epcot's SpaceShip Earth ride was a little dated, so it's been undergoing a major overhaul. And according to Distant Creations blog, a certain Apple celebrity will be making an appearance. Tinkering on a computer in his garage, the bearded "Jesus version" Jobs will be creating an early prototype Apple computer...alone. More »

Vid: Woz Gifting the Black Apple Turtleneck to Fake Steve Jobs


At Kepler's bookstore in Menlo Park, minutes from Apple campus, Fake Steve Jobs just finished a great book reading. And Woz introduced him and gifted him a black mock turtleneck, official uniform of The Steve. FSJ had a "Invented the Friggin' iPod" shirt for Woz, too. [Giz at FSJ Menlo Park Book Reading]

Fake Steve Jobs, Live In the Valley

Dan Lyons, AKA Fake Steve Jobs is doing a reading of his new book, Options, in the valley. We're at Kepler's bookstore in Menlo Park—the most important book reading, being so close to the mothership. I recognize an Apple employee in the crowd. Woz is here, and when I approached him to say hello, he moved aside, modestly, as if I was looking for a book behind him and he was in the way. No. "Woz," I said, " I'm a big fan of your work." He smiled, but I could tell he was already prepping to introduce Lyons, minutes away from being on stage. It's starting, and OMG...Woz just introduced FSJ and awarded him an official Apple black mock turtleneck...and Owen Thomas from Valleywag, AKA Mr. Bigglesworth is sitting front row, ready to taunt him. Fiction just slammed into reality and my mind just asploded. (Video of this here)UPDATED More »

Woz Supports iPhone Rebels, Stings Jobs

You think that Steve Wozniak (sexy hunk on left) has already filled as much of your techie heart as humanly possible, and then he starts dating Kathy Griffin and you kind of don't know how that makes you feel because you were never much of a fan, and then he blesses iPhone unlockers everywhere with his glorious, sweaty Woz hands.
From a business point of view, Apple owns what they have done. They have a right to lock it. But I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free.
We're liking this...rebels. More »

Wozthy Engagement See-Saw: Kathy and Woz NOT Engaged?

These two are milking all this "did they, didn't they" press for all it's worth, but apparently the latest status is that Woz and Kathy G. aren't engaged. Is this true, or is this just one of her wonderful "jokes" that propelled her into the Z-list along with Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin? [E!]

Pogue and Woz in the Geeks on Board Cruise Documentary DVD

Director Abe Greenwald just released his documentary of what goes on during Geeks on Board cruises, featuring Woz and David Pogue, among others. This is a trailer. Best part is when they go ashore to some exotic local and everyone lays on the beach far from the water, with laptops in tow. Gotta be hard to see the screens under those conditions, eh? [Amazon]

Woz and Kathy Griffin Exhibit Courting Rituals on Emmy Red Carpet

First it was a rumor, then it was a smashed rumor, later on it was a rekindled, adjusted rumor, and now it's just awkward. Yes, Woz and Kathy Griffin went to the Emmys together last night, although why either of them were invited isn't exactly clear. I don't think I can continue writing this post without it dissolving into me sounding like a high school bully making fun of dorky couples at the prom, so I'll just leave you with the photos. More »

Woz Selling His Nissan 350Z, Riding a Segway for Charity

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is selling his 2005 Nissan 350Z Anniversary Edition for charity. The asking price? A whopping $100,000 (Kelley Blue Book private party value: $28,695). It's funny enough in itself that the Woz thinks anyone would be willing to pay $71,000 extra just to sit in the same driver's seat as himself (well, maybe if you were planning to donate that much to the IEEE lab at U.C. Berkeley anyways), but the "ad" he made for the sale is the real hum-dinger. He remakes his classic Datsun 280-ZX ad, adding in "modern" twists such as him zipping around on a Segway. We love ya Woz, but no one is above getting made fun of for a willingness to be seen on a Segway in public. [HotSwap via CrunchGear]

PodBrix to Release Young Woz and Jobs Playset Made of LEGO

You'd better hurry up and get in line, because the limited-edition Young Woz and Jobs Playset is going on sale in just two days. Tomy will be cranking out this little PodBrix set made out of modified LEGO, featuring the young Steve Jobs and his Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak working in Steve's parents' garage to create one of the first Apple computers. It looks like they're well on their way toward Appledom in this set, though, because that looks more like an Apple II than that primitive first PC created by the dynamic duo. More »

Woz and Kathy Griffin NOTMAYBE Hooked Up?

[UPDATE: I took a pass, noting inconsistencies. - B.L.]Turns out the rumor of Kathy Griffin fondling Woz's apples were a bit off, according to Adario Strange. He's proudly skeptical of the whole thing, pointing to a Page Six post that he claims says the two have never met. But reading the Page Six page actually says the contrary. Adario, which is it?
