Apple’s Wozniak using Twitter, Facebook to survive Dancing
Vote for Woz sites, Facebook, Twitter could give Apple co-founder the boost he needs
March 10, 2009 (Computerworld) Technology has long paid off for Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak and he’s expecting nothing less now that he’s on Dancing with the Stars.
Wozniak made his dancing debut Monday night on the eighth season of the reality show, garnering harsh criticism and only 13 out of 30 potential points from the panel of judges. With the lowest score of any of the 13 stars who danced last night, Wozniak is depending on his online fans to vote him through to the next round.
With sites like votewoz.com and woz.org supporting the Silicon Valley icon, he’s hoping that he’ll get enough viewer votes to push him past other Dancing contestants like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson, rapper Lil’ Kim and Bond girl Denise Richards. The Vote for Woz page on Facebook has more than 1,500 members and Votewoz on Twitter has more than 1,000 followers. Read the rest of this entry »

Despite iTunes Accord, Music Labels Still Fret
By TIM ARANGO
Published: February 1, 2009
Last month the music industry and Apple, long uneasy partners, seemed a picture of harmony when they agreed on new terms for pricing on iTunes, Apple’s online music store. Behind the scenes, however, the relationship remains as tense and antagonistic as ever.
