Wozniak shows off his nixie tube watch
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shows us that a nixie tube watch is probably a better idea in theory than it is in practice. It's so bulky. Sure looks like a lot of trouble he has to go through just to change the time zone. Never mind that, if they could just make these things a whole lot smaller, we'd really be lusting after one.
Woz also talks about how his fellow passengers start to get worried when he adjusts his nixie watch, which to the uninitiated might look like a crude bomb triggering device. Also of interest is how he can smuggle a ceramic knife on board an aircraft without being arrested. We weren't aware he flew commercial.

Great, vid, but seriously let the man speak. This is the Woz, whatever he says is good to watch. The man is a geeks hero. Other then that, the watch is very interesting, but more from a intellectual perspective. Cool anyway! =)

I want someone to know that I think this is the worst idea for a watch ever. It reminds me of those horrible LCD watches from the 70s that ran out of juice in less than a week.
I'm glad that some creepy old guy likes his (yes, I know who he is but that doesn't make him any less creepy) but that doesn't mean the design makes any sense.
The nixie design is worse than a watch-phone or phone-watch or whatever it is.
on your cellphone!
