Access Cupertino: Ballmer on a Mac, Kathy and Woz split

Microsoft CEO and resident crazyman Steve “Developers Developers Developers Developers” Ballmer was caught red-handed giving a PowerPoint presentation on “business leadership” on…wait for it…a Mac.

What’s next, Steve? iPod instead of a Zune? Wii instead of an XBox 360? Good instead of evil?

Speaking of Steves. Billionaire Apple-cofounder and tech diva Steve “Woz” Wozniak has reportedly split with D-list celeb Kathy “Am I funny yet?” Griffin.

The red-head comedian/actress told Usmagazine.com:

“He is an awesome guy, but I have to say he is in the friends category now,” Griffin, 47, told Usmagazine.com at the GLAAD Awards in L.A. Saturday.

“As a matter of fact,” she added, “I got an email last week from him, and he is going to marry someone else… I think he might be married. I don’t really know that for sure, though.”

Married already? Ouch. Woz sure seems to get around — that Segway probably doesn’t hurt.

Be sure to catch Steve in the upcoming season of Griffin’s Bravo reality show, My Life on the D-List.

Why were Steve Jobs and Bill Gates seen holding hands at a local dog park? And the real reason CARS is on hiatus…all the dirty details John Moltz doesn’t want you to know. All this and more, next time on…Access Cupertino.

In a way this really doesn't seem like news. It's already pretty clear to much of the world that Apple offers some fine laptops. It would be more newsworthy if it was clear that Mr Ballmer was publicly using one WITHOUT Windows added on.

The man remembered for sweaty t-shirts and broken chairs isn't much of a idol to most of us, so it's not like many should be expected to rush out and emulate him by using what he uses. This isn't like John Travolta in disco era.

Could this be a clever campaign to push people away from Macs? ...association with a man that makes people go ewwwwwww...?

Whoever Woz is marrying, hopefully she is much younger and attractive. That hag above is done. Clearly her beauty days are faaarrr behind.

Did anyone else notice that Ballmer's presentation has a typo in the title?

"Business Leadership and Digital Innovation for Future Gradtuated"?

Did he mean "...Future Graduates"?

Silly Steve can't spell either.

I may be reducing my Mac-using credibility here, but a two-tone case? Which model offers that? That seems like something Dell or HP would do.

Its a shadow, not a two-tone case.

Shadow? The lighting and shadow placement just doesn't make sense for that to be true.
