Did ABC determine that ratings were low with the technology community? I know I'll be interested in seeing how far Mr. Wozniak goes in the competition."

    Either really well or really badly. My hunch is that it won't be in between.

      I do a lot of ballroom dance, and it's a pretty common occupation for engineers to be fantastic at.

      Really, who would be fantastic at a social skill that hasn't truly been in vogue in half a century except nerds?

    I thought he quit because the panel kept bitching about the public voting for him?

    Pretty stupid, if you want the winner to be based on skill rather than popularity then just have professional, expert judges decide. Of course that loses the opportunity to rake it in from all those premium rate calls.
