Karina Smirnoff and Steve Wozniak

Computer nerds really can't dance. That was the takeaway after watching Steve Wozniak's debut on Dancing with the Stars this evening. The Woz, who showed up on stage with a pink feathered boa around his neck, spun around on his knees and made some odd facial gestures as he danced the Cha Cha with Rina Smirnoff.

The Apple Computer co-founder -- who met his dance partner before rehearsals on a Segway -- was ridiculed by the judges after the performance."I don't know if it was hilarious or delirious. It was like watching a Teletubby going mad..." said Bruno Tonioli.

Len Goodman was more direct with his critique: "Overall, it was a disaster." Wozniak, who is trying to drum up support on Twitter and Facebook, is now residing in last place with just 13 points.

Maybe it's time they got Steve Ballmer out there doing the Monkey Boy dance.
