Dancing Woz vs. dancing Ballmer: you vote
By Microsoft Subnet on Tue, 03/10/09 - 4:57pm.
Microsoft Subnet would like to present our own edition of Dancing with the Geeks where you decide which dancing IT icon you prefer. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., Monday took his first spin around the floor on the reality television show Dancing with the Stars, and received the lowest score of the night -- despite going all out with jazz hands and well, not sure how else to describe some of those wiggling moves. Wozniak, 58, kicked off a pre-dance segment by riding a Segway donned in a feather boa.
Steve Ballmer, on the other hand, simply bounded onto stage at a Microsoft Partner Conference about two years ago, lungs a-yelling, for the entertainment (and attempted inspiration) of his peeps.

For me "The Woz" is my sentimental favorite since I started programming on an Apple II+ computer.
But for the more important question... Doesn't Ballmer look like the famous actor Peter Boyle? If you don't believe me, check out this side-by-side comparison: http://www.theconvergingnetwork.com/2007/11/are-they-relate.html
Note: Peter Boyle passed away last year. Most probably know him from Young Frankenstein and Everybody Loves Raymond.
