  • MattFromSeattle, on 07/16/2008, -11/+188If they'd called him up, he'd have been Googling prices on his iPhone as the products were being shown. :)
    • jb0nd38372, on 07/17/2008, -25/+4I think your getting buried cause you used the term "iphone". Still I dugg you because of the geeky undertones you implied.
    • punkcat, on 07/17/2008, -0/+79i doubt he would do well, probably hasnt looked at a price tag in ages.
      • MavRevMatt, on 07/17/2008, -1/+14He has looked at price tags on lasers and stuff. Anyone hear him talk about how he got his first blue laser for like 200,000 or something crazy?
      • BossKey, on 07/17/2008, -11/+2The Woz doesn't need to know or look up the prices. He'd simply hack all the gadgets on the show FTW !!!1!
      • BossKey, on 07/17/2008, -6/+2So, are you guys burying me because you aren't aware of Woz's history of classic hacks? I can totally see him making sure one of those price games goes his way.
      • spiffytech, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4@BossKey: While Woz has a history of pranks and electronic mischief, it's not _unethical_ mischief. He's so determined to play fair that he gets in line with everyone else for the iPhone instead of demanding a place up front or getting one from Jobs.
      • iNNeRKaoS, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5@BossKey - I think they're burying you for using two memes in one comment... FTW, and the obligatory 1 at the end of your exclaimation marks.

        At least, that's what I think.
      • Speed, on 07/20/2008, -0/+1spiffy, I'm not sure prank calling the Vatican as Kissinger while using a blue box (and selling blue boxes) counts as ethical...
    • skeletorcares, on 07/17/2008, -0/+13and just as the showcase showdown is rolling around he'd be ready to give an answer. thank you at&t service.
    • grizzlybrice, on 07/17/2008, -2/+1So did he cut in line to get that seat?
  • Lane, on 07/16/2008, -23/+68The Woz, come on down! Your the next contestant on the price is right!
    • CielChocobo, on 07/17/2008, -8/+77"You're"
      • UltraDavid, on 07/17/2008, -2/+20Knew what the reply was gonna be before I clicked on it. Too easy.
      • moonboots, on 07/17/2008, -2/+10Dugg for proper grammar
      • celkin, on 07/17/2008, -3/+15^ Buried for sentence fragment.

        Oh wait...
    • Iztikeit, on 07/17/2008, -4/+0Woz is like the Brittney Spears for tech nerds.
      • Speed, on 07/20/2008, -0/+1I think Balmer would be the Britney Spears of tech nerds (one throws umbrellas at cars, the other throws chairs at people)
  • l800LEMMINGS, on 07/16/2008, -32/+1http://homepage.mac.com/mrbrown2195/images/woz.jpg ... was that too hard?
  • 10goto10, on 07/17/2008, -4/+51The price is high
  • seriouslyorange, on 07/17/2008, -14/+224the price is WRONG, bitch!
    • polalion, on 07/17/2008, -2/+3Go Sandman!
      • IpecacNeat, on 07/17/2008, -2/+2The price is WRONG, Bobby!
      • UltamateAddict, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4that's the edited version..

        and this is from Happy Gilmore for those of you that have no clue.
      • NeedzABetterSN, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1If they don't know it's Happy Gilmore, they can get the ***** off my digg.
    • twertyto, on 07/17/2008, -7/+2Do we seriously have to have this comment every time there is a mention of The Price of Right, Bob Barker, Adam Sandler or the Fashoda Incident.
  • acceleration, on 07/17/2008, -12/+20THE Price is Right?
  • Ch0mpr, on 07/17/2008, -6/+290I miss Bob Barker :(
    • jserio, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3Yeah... As much as I like Drew Carey, TPiR just lacks something special these days. I wonder if the ratings are down since they seem to be airing those "million dollar shows" every week now.
    • BossKey, on 07/17/2008, -0/+12I don't mind Drew Carey but the couple times I watched the show, he seemed strangely reserved and lacking energy. Like he's bored or disinterested. And this on a show where they coach everyone to act over the top.
      • basickler, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3Agreed, watched it for a few minutes and I just didn't feel the energy from Drew. Also Drew isn't nearly the pimp Bob was with the ladies which always cracked me up.
      • peestandingup, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Well, honestly Bob did that a lot too. Especially in his later years. He would also get so annoyed with the contestants sometimes.
    • chukd, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3 It is hard to replace a legend. However, Drew Carey is the best replacement they would find. I don't think there is anyone that could do better.
    • jd33, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4I think Drew Carey does an absolutely horrendous job. They really made a mistake in my opinion. Totally lacks enthusiasm. I can't bear to watch more than 10 mins before i want to throw the remote at the tv.
      • atcrawford, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1I feel your anger... Drew Carey just acts like he would rather be somewhere else.
    • username7410, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4McDonalds breakfast and the Price is Right, two of the greatest reason to wake up before noon.
    • supaklaw, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3Barker + Plinko = Pimp

      Anytime I was sick and stayed home it's like "*****, there's nothing on"... until Bob is on and you didn't mind watching a stupid game show cuz he made it almost important. Despite it being completely retarded.
    • Richi48, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Me too. :(
  • JayKris, on 07/17/2008, -20/+2big Fat hairy Deal.
  • Tinendo, on 07/17/2008, -21/+2Frontpage with 89 diggs. Will we see another Kevin Rose Comment today?
  • marnaq, on 07/17/2008, -20/+4Ok, this is lame.
  • artfuldodga, on 07/17/2008, -6/+37Is this how apple gets its pricing schemes
    • windandstorm, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1By looking back and listening to what everyone else is yelling
  • beerbaron420, on 07/17/2008, -21/+1i like this site, but u guys digg a picture of a fat nerd to the top when things like this happen http://digg.com/politics/CNN_reporter_criticizes_T ...
    .... ive lost all respect
    • Samas11, on 07/17/2008, -3/+3Fail.
    • sockpuppets, on 07/17/2008, -2/+8I like turtles but with ice cream cones in the fridge it makes me want to tie my shoelaces.
  • Gravey9, on 07/17/2008, -24/+15In case you didn't know who he was
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak
    • hypershadow147, on 07/17/2008, -3/+18Who the hell doesn't know who Steve Wozniak is?
      • ChoiceMad, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4Ask 10 random people on the street who he is.
      • Jennefah, on 07/17/2008, -1/+2Uh, me...

        I asked my dad... who then got really excited and starting babbling about chips and this guy waiting in line at Apple stores, being moved to the front of the line and then given a cup of tea or something. Wasn't really paying attention.

        That said, to him (my dad) the Apple store in Glasgow is the equivelent to Mecca or something.

        (mecca in a religious sense, not mecca bingo)
    • etx313, on 07/17/2008, -4/+5Hey Canada, Welcome to Digg!!!
      • Gravey9, on 07/17/2008, -8/+3It's funny I've been coming here since early 05 but just became a member to flame morons like you. See you around kiddo
  • sockpuppets, on 07/17/2008, -8/+98The server's down harder than a price is right model on a line of coke.
  • gllopc, on 07/17/2008, -25/+58"$3.1428571429, Drew!"
  • gllopc, on 07/17/2008, -12/+20Front seat, eh? I'm sure he and his five friends waited until the last moment and walked right up and sat down.
  • bat-21, on 07/17/2008, -14/+9Copycat. http://*****.ytmnd.com/
  • ThankTheCheese, on 07/17/2008, -5/+59I'm sorry, but Woz ***** rocks.

    I cant think of anyone else with his money and clout that would sit in on the Price is Right. Good bloody gear!
    • drgruney, on 07/17/2008, -5/+4You know... he doesn't really have any clout outside of the nerds that love him? In the real world he's a nobody. When we see that episode of Kathy Griffin's show he was on we think "holy crap The Woz! He's so cool."

      My roommate saw it and asked out loud, "who's this fat nerd?" She had no reason to believe he had any importance at all.

      That being said I want The Woz to be my friend.
    • chukd, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4Woz has to be one of the coolest smart and rich guys around. I think he needs to do cameo's in movies. It would be like finding Stan Lee in Marvel movies or Hitchcock in his movies.
  • 4rp4n3t, on 07/17/2008, -10/+2"You can clearly see woz in behind constants row"

    WTF is a constants row - is it a new data model?
  • quomen, on 07/17/2008, -8/+123Dugg for no Kathy Griffin in the picture.
  • Zippo, on 07/17/2008, -2/+32Woz is the man.
  • linuxeventually, on 07/17/2008, -0/+24Mirror: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5130/wozng6.jpg
  • Kratos76, on 07/17/2008, -2/+14I always thought it was just WOZ, not "The Woz"... and to the guy who wrote the caption, yes his first name is Steve also.
  • themightyhlp, on 07/17/2008, -3/+1This is awesome.
  • Rekoil, on 07/17/2008, -6/+131I'm sorry but I simply cannot be the only one thinking this... who the hell records The Price is Right?
    • bobert5064, on 07/17/2008, -2/+39Most DVRs record what you're watching all the time so you can rewind and do instant replay's. No one records The Price is Right.
      • eLp619, on 07/17/2008, -6/+3except me..
      • unAntimatter, on 07/17/2008, -2/+12Actually, the red bar and the red little dot next to "Price is Right" means he is recording... therefore someone records the Price is Right.
      • insomniac8400, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3When you see something you want to save you hit the record button to save the show.
    • djlethal, on 07/17/2008, -1/+11you wouldn't understand
    • SonicAD, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8I'm a bit behind on it... I have like 40 episodes of The Price is Right on my DVR just waiting to be watched.

      Yes, seriously. I'm THAT sad.
    • ambo33, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5i DVR it every. day.
    • kirtap, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3I record TPiR. So? It's a tv show that is fun to watch...sorry, not everyone's dvr is full of law and order and csi's.
  • pagesix1536, on 07/17/2008, -7/+0This might not be the actual Price is Right TV show. I believe I heard he was going to be in Las Vegas on a small interview that Leo did with him. Vegas has a Price is Right show you can go to, which is a stage show that duplicates the TV show...people attending the show have the ability to actually be part of the show. He probably bought front row tickets to the show in Vegas.
    • booyahbitch, on 07/17/2008, -0/+14And what??? They televise it and this person recorded it on his TiVO?
      • timusca, on 07/17/2008, -8/+2That's not TiVo, n00b... that's a Motorola DVR from a local cable company.
  • sdschramm, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4anybody know what show this was? like the episode number or original air date? I wanna set my DVR for the re-run.
  • 14kygmd, on 07/17/2008, -7/+2I bid $1 FTW.
  • XeRoX2k2, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7i'd buy that for a dollar!
  • thendustinsaid, on 07/17/2008, -13/+41. Who is this "WOZ", because really, I don't have any idea and I don't care to Google it.

    2. This episode was on either Monday or Tuesday of this week.

    3. Anyone want to see it again, the Price is Right streams all their episodes so you can go there to see the episode for yourself... but they only keep them for a week... so hurry!!!

    4. I actually noticed this guy too, although my first thought wasn't "omgzzz, it's the Woz guyyysszzs," rather, it was "who the hell is that homeless person and why is he in the front row."

    • Tribis, on 07/17/2008, -4/+71. Your an idiot.

      2. "The Woz" is the co-founder of Apple and inventor of the personal computer.
      • thendustinsaid, on 07/17/2008, -1/+11. So just because I'm not "into" the E True Hollywood Story history behind Apple computers and their founders nicknames, that makes me an idiot?

        2. That's a rhetorical question because I know all you people are mindless fanboys.

        3. Just to clarify, I'm not disrespecting the guy by stating he's sporting the homeless look because of that beard. It's just that you don't usually see people sporting that look in the front row.

        4. And I knew Steve Wozniak was the co-founder of Apple, I just didn't know his personal preference to be called "the Woz"

    • cbartlett, on 07/17/2008, -2/+7You're an idiot.
  • urnasty, on 07/17/2008, -8/+61I'll bid $666.66.
  • SilentSpyder, on 07/17/2008, -1/+12I remember him talking about this on Twit Live. He's friends with Drew Carey so he was invited on.
  • porkdanish, on 07/17/2008, -2/+6I've started watching Kathy Griffin's show just to see more of him. He's awesome!
  • pantone286, on 07/17/2008, -2/+23"The Woz"?
  • alefox, on 07/17/2008, -1/+20http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_price_is_right/vide ...

    • Zippo, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7God ***** dammit, CBS is pulling "no international" shenanigans too?
  • diggtochina, on 07/17/2008, -8/+4from the forum: "I thought his first name was The"

    awesome
  • ATLien74, on 07/17/2008, -2/+34I think Digg needs a "The Woz Sightings" section.
  • sickrubik, on 07/17/2008, -11/+5What in the world is a "constants row"?
  • Ac028, on 07/17/2008, -9/+7He is like a "Where's Waldo", but it's "Where'z Woz!" instead.
  • gegroff, on 07/17/2008, -9/+4I love how the people who are posting in that forum like they know who he is don't even know his name. His name is Steve Wozniak you *****-tards. That is why his name tag says "Steve".
    • skippy562, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7you love that?...sounds more like you hate it.
      • gegroff, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2I actually do love it. The use of "*****-tards" was a term of endearment.
    • Voltaje, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4Not all of us *****-tards did not know that. I knew his name was Steve and I am a *****-tard. Really I know a lot about Woz; like his mallet wielding exploits on a Segway machine for example. So I think I speak for a lot of *****-tards when I say; take it easy. *****-tards are people too (even though a few of us don't know that Steve Wozniak's first name is Steve or even how to spell Wozniak without looking up at your post. I hope you spelled it right.)
      InSincerely,
      Little Stevie *****-Tard
      • gegroff, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1"Not all of us *****-tards did not know that." Does that mean you all knew that?

        I was merely pointing out the irony of people posting on a Apple fanboy forum about one of the founders and not even knowing his name.

        I did not mean to insult the *****-tards of the world by lumping them in with people that post about things without at least having some knowledge about the matter.

        I feel like Geico during the "It's so easy a caveman can do it" commercials.
      • Voltaje, on 07/18/2008, -0/+0I can't speak for cavemen but I venture to say that we *****-tards accept your humility and reluctantly take your apology as a unqualified admission of guilt. We would like to make you an honorary *****-tard and we will be expecting a reparation check.
  • BrendanSheehan, on 07/17/2008, -1/+4I thought this story was Woz talking about the iPhone; "at $199 the price is right."
  • Rowan11s, on 07/17/2008, -1/+8He just makes me smile. He has a twinkle in his eye that money cannot buy.
    • pak314, on 07/17/2008, -0/+11Those are special lasers. And you can buy them for $1000.
  • karmapolice63, on 07/17/2008, -5/+2Alright, the Wizard of Woz! Good times people.
  • man3ster, on 07/17/2008, -4/+2Steve, you truly are a humble, down to earth kind of guy.
  • sonofffej, on 07/17/2008, -10/+2Seriously? You guys call him The Woz?
  • qwkredfox, on 07/17/2008, -17/+10ive never heard of him
  • Teck64, on 07/17/2008, -12/+3stupid apple fanboys.
  • chaos7, on 07/17/2008, -16/+7who is Woz
    • 5teady, on 07/17/2008, -2/+3Yea, who?
    • pveltrent, on 07/17/2008, -6/+6http://*****.com/
    • jaspr180, on 07/17/2008, -7/+0Google.com, amazing site actually. Seems now in the future you can go there and look things up! It only takes a few seconds and you will find your answer without feeling like like a retard for asking questions easily found elsewhere.
    • jaredcat, on 07/17/2008, -2/+2Some kindergarten teacher... and also the only guy from The Pirates of Silicon Valley who didn't turn out to be a total dick.
    • kingjam, on 07/17/2008, -2/+3Who give a ***** who the woz is
    • manstein01, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple.
  • ancientshoes, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3good thing he's not in the game, he'd probably have no idea how much a bar of soap or a roll of toilet paper costs because he's been too rich for too long
  • Walcherina, on 07/17/2008, -1/+2Maybe now he'll get the iPhone price right.
