All Things D Live: Melinda Gates, Bride of Bill


One of the most fascinating profiles I've read this year is the Melinda Gates cover story from Fortune. She's here at Walt and Kara's All Things D Conference to talk about The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where Bill will be directing most of his energy come July. Although this is not directly gadget related, I'm excited to hear how Microsofties make philanthropy happen in their own way. More »

All Things D: Nathan Myhrvold, Founder of Intellectual Ventures

This may not be a typical gadget post, but here's an idea that fascinates me. Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO of Microsoft, left to found a company called Intellectual Ventures. They invest in invention, not companies. He's been the subject of a New Yorker article on the abundance of big ideas by Malcolm Gladwell, which covers the basics of what they do at IV. I believe that Nathan also worked on a post-doc in Cosmology alongside Stephen Hawking. Mossberg is interviewing him at D, right now. More »

All Things D Live: Dell CEO Michael Dell

Mossberg: Former Dell CEO has said that R&D is a waste. That still true?
Dell: No. There's tens of billions of dollars spent in the industry, and while we definitely see value here, we're also into leveraging the tech from other partners. For example, the 0.3mm OLED that Sony showed.
Mossberg: You going to use those?

Caption Contest: Steve Ballmer's Whiteboard From All Things Digital

During their interview last night at All Things D, Walt Mossberg called Steve Ballmer the "maestro of the whiteboard" and presented him with a fresh one to explain how online advertising works. We know what it is. You can see words like Publisher and Advertise and Data in the fringes, but what does it look like to you?

Sony's Howard Stringer to Unveil New 0.3mm-Thick OLED Displays Today

While yesterday's All Things D conference had appearances by Gates and Ballmer unveiling Windows 7, today will feature Sony CEO Howard Stringer. He'll be there showing off new OLED displays measuring an insane 0.3mm thick. That's three tenths of a millimeter, or about the thickness of a playing card. Let's hope they're a little more generous in the surface area than their first OLED display, eh? [Silicon Alley Insider]

Quotable: Bill Gates Hates Monopolies?!


Last night at All Things D, we got to witness Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer being interviewed by Mossberg and Swisher. We also got Windows 7 photos and features. But there was also a funny moment when Gates said:
Guys like us avoid monopolies. We like to compete.

Windows 7 Features Revealed

Here's what Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer revealed about Windows 7 at All Things Digital a few minutes ago. The biggest "feature" is the touch and multi-touch integration, which takes many of its roots from Microsoft's Surface Table, and will be available as an interface options for other apps. Here's some more stuff they pulled out, which we captured in photos here. More »

Windows 7: First Official Photos

The first legit shots of Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista, were just unveiled by Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in person at the All Things D conference. It's the evolution of the surface table, using multitouch on the desktop. Looks like Tablet PC. I'm not impressed so far, but only because it doesn't move that far beyond the Surface Table demos we saw last year. More photos in a bit. [All Things D]
