BG is famous for being an utter fucking asshole, especially toward anyone he believes is his servant at that moment in time.
I'm sure interviewing him was a real pantload.

To know Bill is to hate him. I just love his passing comment about how Apple takes more time to focus on things to "polish them" more that MircoSoft. NO SHIT! Apple has to inspire loyalty because they don't have 90% of the computing world by the balls. On an ongoing basis, Apple enthusiasts become spoiled to excellence, so they expect more of it, whereas Windows veterans feel elated just to get their machines working. I feel sorry for them sometimes :-(

Bill Gates did not become rich by bringing exciting products to the market place that sold like crazy (can you spell i-P-o-d ?) the big money came from trickery and deceit regarding the original operating system. Before anyone knew what was happening, Bill, like a fucking drug pusher, had a huge number of computer users dependent on him and his elegant [NOT!] MS-DOS. The rest is history. . .a history of power abuse.

This picture answers two questions for me:

#1. How much does one need to actually LOOK like Bill Gates in order to interview him?

#2. How big of a gadget blog do you need to be before you are capable of taking a decent digital photograph when interviewing someone extremely important?

Thats so sad :( a tech blog that talks about tech can't take a clear photo. At least you guys are consistent, you can't dress ether. Geeks to the end.

While you were interviewing him, Bill made $360,000.00.

($18,000 per minute x 20 minutes)

Wow.. someone shorter than Bill Gates. I met and interviewed him back in 1993 (HP Omnibook press event) and was surprised that he wasn't as tall as I thought he would be.

Curious to hear some of his answers to your questions.

You actually have to say "enhance" and then press the buttons. They probably forgot the magic words...

Photographic proof that two awkward photograph smiles are actually 4x as nerdy as one awkward smile.

@markgm: ha!

@P3nnst8r: damn you beat me to it. the resemblance is uncanny.

@SwatLax: i think in a previous interview he did with, ummm blam(?), he said he reads giz once in awhile. i don't think engadget was brought up.

I wonder if Bill's mom still helps him get dressed before a big day too.
