    Bill Gates: My 1979 Memories

    Our Gizmodo '79 celebration may have ended last week, but there's room for a final post, written by famed retiree and mosquito wrangler Bill Gates. It's no joke: Gates read the series then sent this in: More »

    Microsoft's Last Financial Quarter Could've Used a Service Pack

    Results for last quarter are in, and with revenues reported well below already cautious estimates, it was a nasty few months for Microsoft. It's almost as if they're sitting on new generations of products in every single space they inhabit. More »

    Bill Gates on What He Learned From His Father

    Bill Gates may have gotten doused by his father for having a smart mouth, but that doesn't mean he's not grateful for everything the older Gates taught him.

    First Screenshot of the New Microsoft Ads, I'm a PC and I Shark Dive!

    And here you have it! A couple hours later, we have our first screen from the new Microsoft ad campaign. Now THIS represents me as a PC-user... I hang with SHARKS, man! [Does anyone from Crispin who works on this campaign know if Seinfeld being pulled was a part of the plan or not? I've got a bet going with the Valleywag Rumormongers. —Blam][New York Times]

    Second Gates-Seinfeld Ad Shows They're Very Rich, Unlike Us

    Remember that first Seinfeld-and-Gates adventure into Shoe Circus, which alluded to something about Windows being “soft and chewy and delicious?” Well, the new Laural and Hardy of ambiguous advertising have a new spot out and it's... making fun of your average scalloped potato-eating, leather giraffe from Cabo-buying, grumpy Grandma-having Suburban family. The incredibly rich duo try to connect on a “normal people” level and kind of fail utterly. Like Windows Vista. I think. More »

    Bill Gates Retirement Party

    The time has come. On June 27th, Bill Gates will stop commuting to Microsoft's Redmond campus on a daily basis, and begin full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. You probably know that for Bill, retirement doesn't mean what it meant for your dear old granddad. He will still visit his Redmond office once per week, doing what Ballmer tells him to do. Nevertheless, it's the furthest Bill will ever separate himself from the software biz while he's living on this planet, so it's something to commemorate, for better or worse. More »

    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 »
