Interestingly, as the trio of judges dinged him for the fourth week in a row, they also tried to  compliment Wozniak at the same time, telling him they loved his spirit.

Oh, these judges know that a Silicon Valley mob riding Segways could run them down at any minute if they got too mean.

"The judges have forsaken me," said Woz, sounding more and more like a very appealing nerd cult leader. "But the geeks shall inherit the earth."]]></description>

<p>Apple (AAPL) Co-founder Steve Wozniak revved his damn-the-judges juggernaut into high gear this week with yet another low-scoring performance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Dancing With the Stars&#8221; and a full-bore mangle of the Argentine tango last night.</p>
<p>Interestingly, as the trio of judges dinged him for the fourth week in a row, they also tried to  compliment Wozniak at the same time, telling him they loved his spirit.</p>
<p>Oh, these judges know that a Silicon Valley mob riding Segways could run them down at any minute if they got too mean (and there was actually a video of just that possibility on the television show).</p>
<p>&#8220;The judges have forsaken me,&#8221; said Woz, sounding more and more like a very appealing nerd cult leader. &#8220;But the geeks shall inherit the earth.&#8221;</p>
<p>One judge, Bruno Tonioli, still had the temerity to speak the truth about Woz&#8217;s tango: &#8220;This really stunk.&#8221;</p>
<p>Retorted the cute-as-a-button-who-can&#8217;t-dance Woz: &#8220;I have three words for you: I&#8217;m still standing.&#8221;</p>
<p>That he is. So you better get out there and <a href="http://ll.abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index?pn=vote09&#038;v8&#038;cmp=09_DWS_Vote_CO3">vote early and often</a> (you can vote up to 10 times).</p>
<p>Results come tonight, but here is the video from last night:</p>
<p><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W2xYbWNz0Xk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W2xYbWNz0Xk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s part three of the conference&#8217;s most popular demo, by well-known <a href="http://d6.allthingsd.com/20080529/deka/">inventor Dean Kamen</a>, who showed off his latest creation, the &#8220;Luke Arm&#8221; prosthesis.</p>
<p>The state-of-the-art bionic arm looks and feels to its user like his or her native limb.</p>
<p>The video of the demo is in three parts, all of which have been posted today.</p>
<p>In this segment, the DEKA Research founder and Segway creator talks about the <a href="http://www.usfirst.org">FIRST</a> Robotics competition, which Kamen founded to interest young people in science and technology.</p>

<p>In the less contentious spirit of <a href="http://www.demo.com/">DEMOfall</a> and <a href="http://www.techcrunch50.com/2008/conference/">TechCrunch50</a>, two demo conferences taking place simultaneously this week, we&#8217;re happy to bring you all the demos we had onstage at <strong>D6</strong>. </p>

<p>Here&#8217;s part one of the conference&#8217;s most popular demo, with well-known <a href="http://d6.allthingsd.com/20080529/deka/">inventor Dean Kamen</a> (pictured here), who showed off his latest creation, the &#8220;Luke Arm&#8221; prosthesis.</p>
<p>The state-of-the-art bionic arm looks and feels to its user like his or her native limb.</p>
<p>The video of the demo is in three parts, all of which I will post today.</p>
<p>In this video, the DEKA Research founder and Segway creator talks about how he began the project after a visit to his lab by Defense Department officials, who told him that while battleground deaths were down, severe limb injuries were up.</p>
<p>Within a year, the prosthesis was built. In the video, Kamen shows the arm in use, including a man who is able to feed himself after more than a dozen years of being fed by someone else. Kamen also talks about how the arm can be controlled.</p>
