Even when he is acting cool and making fun of being a nerd he is still unfunny and nerd.

Damn that Bill Gates and his Rugged Good Looks!

i just watched this and it was, to say the least, painful.
bill could not even laugh at conan's jokes. "hee hee, that's funny"

i have to admit, i laughed when the xbox(?) bluescreened on that racing car game.
was it just me or did conan's game die? at the end of when he was play against bill. he was in a wall for most of the race and then rectified himself and then it just did not seem to be going anywhere and going at about 2fps. maybe i was still laughing inside from the previous bluescreen.

all in all, i found it absolutely boring, and bill is so ugly

I didn't even know that the Xbox could bluescreen. Funny though.

I heard his wireless demo also didn't work.

Any man that would, out of all the names in the world, choose "Microsoft" for a company...well, you have to wonder.

That's the first time I've ever seen Conan O'Brien. Is he always that funny? [/sarcasm]

You're new to the Cone Zone are you?

He's madly/sadly popular in Finland, depending on your view. Best thing in that CES clip, at least.

I watched the entire keynote--man that was funny stuff

the other people who were presenting were very happy when things didnt crash in their segment of presentation.

of course the best part was seeing Conan make fun of Gates and MS on their stage when the Media Center slideshow didnt work for the second time.

it's still only a matter of millions of dollars.

want to make a donation while you have 30+ billion, cough a bill or two to people who could use it.

or hell, give everyone in america $100. that'd be pretty sweet.

He has to have some way to spend his time.
