Xbox 360 Bill Gates Edition (1 of 1 Limited Apology Run)

A few weeks back, an unlucky Xbox owner shipped off his customized Bungie autographed console to Microsoft's repair center, and to his horrors they wiped it clean. Bungie resigned a console for him, but now, Microsoft is chiming in with a new console with Bill's signature on it and hundreds of dollars worth of new video games. More »

This Video Makes Bill Gates Look Cooler Than Steve Jobs

OMG, I can hear the fanboys battling already. Here's a video from last night's CES 2008 keynote, Bill Gates' last for the foreseeable future. And I know its scripted, edited and contrived, but I'm sold: The man is a cool geek. He's not cool in a fonzie/Jobs kind of way in this video. But very much like how he seemed at total ease with his geekiness and place in the universe at Mossberg and Swisher's All Things D conference the guy just looks happy here. (Especially while playing goofy and modest butt of the joke with this short's star studded cast.) He seems nothing like the anti-antitrust mogul with a killer instinct and "bad taste" we learned to hate in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Fanboys, get to your comment battle stations. Just leave me out of it — I only wrote the headline. [Link]

Bill Gates CES Keynote Subject Matter Speculation by the Seattle PI

The Seattle PI does great Microsoft reporting due to its proximity to HQ. But I'm not sure this piece about Bill Gates' keynote subject matter is anything but speculation. Don't get riled up by the new Xbox or Media Center rumors then. [SeattlePI]

Bill Gates Oozes Cool, Chip Fat

We just spotted a series featuring technology superstars on CBS's 60 Minutes show. The interviews may not be new, but the show teasers are awesome. The best of the bunch is by far the interview with Bill Gates, whose usually modest demeanor is thrown out the window. Check it out after the jump: More »

Ballmer Describes Relationship with Gates as "Husband-Wife," Brings Wrong Images to our Minds

Steve Ballmer has revealed that his relationship with the world's most famous Zune owner, Bill Gates, is akin to that of a husband and wife. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, everyone's favorite chief exec talked about "the husband-wife-brother thing," he has goin' on with Bill Gates. And then he just took the analogy one step too far: More »

Gates Talks Zune 2

So let's hear it from the main man himself, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, introducing his new Zune babies and ticking off the new features and interface in this Microsoft-produced video. Although Gates mentions a November ship date, he's not as specific as Amazon's precise November 13th rollout day. The MS chief also touts wireless auto syncing on the new Zune, one of our fave features, too. [Zune Online]

Gates and Jobs to Share Stage at WSJ's No-Holds Barred Tech Conf

Mark your calendars folks, cause on May 30th hell is gonna freeze over. That day Microsoft hotshot Bill Gates will sit down with his holyness Steve Jobs to talk tech at the WSJ's D5: All Things Digital Conference, an "unscripted" and "informal" gathering of the tech world's big shots. And sitting in between the two giants drilling them with questions will be none other than the WSJ's, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, both co-hosts and co-founders of the conference. The conf will take place in Cali's Four Seasons Hotel Aviara, half an hour north of San Diego (where else would you hold an informal tech conference). So what do you think, guys, will Jobs and Gates go at it from the start? Will Mossberg have enough fastballs to throw their way? This is sounding more and more like the tech world's pay-per view event of the year. – Louis Ramirez More »

The Unreleased Mac vs. PC Ad: Hodgman Delivers Message from Jobs

Is this a video of John Hodgman improving a Mac vs. PC commercial, tearing apart Vista shred by shred by improv? There isn't any of that "baby music" and the audio sounds raw. The language seems to be in the personal style of his book, Areas of My Expertise, which I find incredibly inspiring and distracting when I try to listen to it while I blog. Yes, if I am anything, I am a conflicted man. Give it a listen. –Brian Lam More »

Steve Jobs Fights Bill Gates With Light Sabers

You'd think an animated comic that contained both the original Mac/PC battle mashed up with the most elegant weapons from the Jedi/Sith conflict would be Geek Entertainment Bonanza. It's not quite that, but for the those who stalk the Dear Leaders, here's yet another thing to watch. –Brian Lam More »

Gates, Jobs Miniature Toy Figurines

Sure, when I was a kid I rocked out Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joe, but if I could have had action figures of these two I would have tossed out Donatello in a heartbeat—he was pretty weak with that staff, anyway. These miniature Kugg toys are modeled after none other than Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. It kind of looks like their heads are meant to be paper bags and I'm sure it has some kind of social message to the world, but that doesn't matter because these just look cool.
