Woz Not NOT Dating Kathy Griffin, Either
I told you August 16 that "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is reportedly dating comedian Kathy Griffin." Today, a WIRED News blog post linked to a Page Six piece saying the two have never met (under a headline that says "Apple Co-Founder 'Not' Hooked Up With Comedienne"). As a result, blogs are reporting that the rumor was false. But the Page Six item says otherwise. True, they have never met. But Woz has asked her on a date (in his own dorky manner), and the "unlikely pair are now trying to schedule a first date on which Wozniak will help [Griffin] 'figure out her iPhone.'"

AT&T Neuters BlackBerry GPS for iPhone?
BlackBerry Cool reports that AT&T forced RIM to limit GPS software on the device to TeleNav for its forthcoming 8820 BlackBerry, according to a source inside AT&T. Why? So the device isn't better than the Apple iPhone. This rumor REEKS of bogusness to The Raw Feed. First, AT&T still competes with other carriers for lucrative BlackBerry business. Second, no self-respecting Apple fanboy is going to say, "gosh, the iPhone is really awesome, but that BlackBerry runs several GPS applications -- I guess I'll buy that instead." The 8820 will probably be limited to TeleNav, but for the same reasons previous CrackBerries were so limited (whatever those are).

First-Ever Wahhabist Music Vid Slams MacBook
A Saudi Arabian music video, the first-ever touting Wahhabism (the radical strain of Sunni Islam driving global suicide bombing and terrorism) uses an Apple MacBook as a SYMBOL OF NON-ISLAMIC LIVING. The childishly moralistic video shows a young Saudi gone astray. We know this because he uses his MacBook instead of praying in the office. He pops wheelies on his motorcycle. He even talks to a woman! As a result, his life is miserable. Then he's injured in an accident, and decides to be a good Muslim and not use his MacBook so much. Then all his problems are solved.
