Not fascinating, but interesting that he thinks that the big screen PC isn't going away.

I thought I'd only hear Jobs utter "super-important" in my life. If Gates wanted to make that sentence worse, he'd have to say "Of course, silly, it is super-dooper-blooperty-important!"

Gates needs to stop going on TV to show off Windows program to live audiences. You'd think he'd know that by now.

Is it me, or does that guy look stoned?

Now, if I were going to interview a tech industry "bigwig" like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I think I would dress a little bit better than he did...

I think the look is more of a hairy nerd trying to look cool.

Yeah, dressing nicely would be ostensibly much more rational. However, I imagine this interviewer purposefully dressed shabbily. He apparently tried earnestly to not dress better than Gates, which means he had to go for the "hyper-casual nerd" look.

Lol! Why fergawdsake? Hope he's going to offer you a job because you're so clean cut?

Most important (esp. when in the company of money): stay yourself!

These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

You can still be yourself and look presentable at the same time. I wasn't saying three piece suit and tie. Look at what Bill Gates is wearing in that picture. That's fairly casual, yet still looks presentable. That's what I'm talking about.

Gates is only smiling because he's playing pocket pool.

Either that or he's playing grab-ass with the dweeb.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Maybe the people in 1st are just too snobby for him. Or too many people w/ powerbooks in there, sneering at him.
