Plastic Logic Releases eBook Reader, Kindle Competitor

GeekSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 15:52:42 -0700

Although the Kindle is the go-to portable reading device for celebrities and non-celebs alike, we may have a serious competitor in the e-reader circle in the near future. California-based Plastic Logic is introducing its own reader next year (something the Woz is really excited about - he Twittered about it earlier), and it's coming packed with some specs that may make the Kindle shiver in its boots.

What kind of specs? I thought you'd never ask. Reviewed at this year's All Things D conference (taking place right now in Southern California), the Plastic Logic device will come sans keyboard (which means all touchscreen, all the time), making it a little reminiscent of the iPhone as you swipe to turn the page.

The new device is good for business and pleasure - you can use Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and read PDFs, and there will soon be an online store to buy books, magazines, and newspapers. There are even rumors that the PL device will come with 3G compatibility. Sure, it looks bigger than the Kindle 2, but would you consider picking up a Plastic Logic reader?

Breaking News - The Woz Fractures Leg in DWTS Practice!

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:09:23 -0700

Oh no! Our favorite Dancing With the Stars contestant has injured his leg! Steve Wozniak was spotted yesterday wearing a removable cast after he fractured his leg during practice.

We're happy to hear that despite his injury, he has vowed to continue and says that his next dance will be "wild and fast and all-over crazy and fun, just like the first one."

Ahh, such a Woz thing to say! We're so happy that the loveable Woz has decided to continue on with his dancing journey and after last week's entertaining performance, we can't wait to see what him and Karina are cooking up for Monday's show.

Hope your leg makes a speedy recovery, Steve!

DWTS Week One: The Woz Scores a 13 Out of 30

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:08:03 -0700

Len said it held his attention and he was fascinated by it, but overall he thought it was a disaster. Bruno said he didn't know if it was hilarious or delirious and it was like watching a Teletubby going mad in a gay pride parade. And Carrie Ann said that "The Woz" is what the competition is all about. Did you watch Steve's big performance last night on Dancing With the Stars? Although he may have only scored a 13, how frickin' adorable was he? "The Woz" gets a perfect score in my books for best attitude, cheeky jokes and perma smile. Be sure to vote for him! During the intro clip he had this to say about his first dance:

People might have thought designing a computer was hard, they haven't tried ballroom dancing.

Intel Spotlights the Real Rock Stars of the Tech World

Sure, you know Steve Jobs, the Woz, and Bill Gates, but do you know the name Ajay Bhatt? He invented the USB, and in this new commercial from Intel he's being given the celebrity treatment - a premise that's equal parts inspiring and amusing.

Apples and Wedding Bells: Steve Wozniak Gets Married!

GeekSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:00:07 -0700

It doesn't matter whether you would date Steve Wozniak or not; he's off the market, ladies! The Apple co-founder got married over the weekend to his fiancée - who is not, I repeat, not Kathy Griffin. That makes me pretty sad, because I loved them together on her show, My Life on the D-List.

Even though I can't add the Woz and Kathy to my list of tech giants and their loves, I'm on the lookout for a fab pic of Woz and his lucky lady. I hope she's geeky, too, and the odds are that she is, because she and Woz wed at the SegwayFesT 2008. Nerd alert!

Congrats!

A Fond Farewell to the Woz on DWTS

GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:46:57 -0700

Although he left with grace and style (and a big smile on his face!), I'm still sad that Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. He brought so much to the show, including his memorable moves, so we'll definitely miss seeing him next week. Thankfully, according to US Magazine he's already scored a spot in his dance partner's wedding and hopefully we'll be seeing more of him in the future! Take a look at my photo montage which pays tribute to the Woz's entertaining journey on DWTS. Photos courtesy of ABC
