Here is part two of my discussion with Microsoft front man Bill Gates, where we talk about the future direction of Windows relative to the rest of Microsoft, and the possibility of Apple launching their own Office competitor.

Headless iMac == iHome?

I have no idea how legit it is, but someone has posted pictures of a headless iMac, called the iHome. They’re grainy and naturally suspect, but there’s even a video and it looks surprisingly real. More pictures after the jump. (Thanks, Asa!) iHome Pics [TecknoHost] Update: I can’t begin to tell you how many people…

CES Showfloor: Garmin StreetPilot c330

Here’s the new StreetPilot c330, Garmin’s answer to the recently-released TomTomGo. It looks extremely similar in both size and form factor, but I didn’t get a chance to really mess around with it. The “3D” map is still just a 2D map viewed in perspective (like TomTomGo), but it looks like a nice enough bit…

CES Showfloor: Brother Innov-is 4000D

I didn’t expect to find the words, “that’s a badass sewing machine” coming out of my mouth, and from the look on his face, neither did the guy from Brother Sewing. He should be used to it, though, because it’s totally true. The Innov-is 4000D converts any image file into an embroidered pattern—even directly from…

CES Showfloor: Olympus m:robe 100 and 500

Olympus is totally pushing their two new m:robe devices this year—if you thought it was going to be hard to get one in the US, worry no longer. The m:robe 500 is always awesome, with its 20GB hard drive and touchscreen interface. The problem is, the camera sort of sucks, and I don’t really care…

CES Showfloor: Memorex MMP Orange Slice Players

Memorex was showing off these orange-slice MP3 players in the MMP series. The one on top had a built-in FM radio, while the one on the bottom has an SD/MMC slot for expansion. I swear I’ve seen these before, but I couldn’t find them online.

First Pictures of the Motorola iTunes Phone

A cruddy little picture has surfaced on Apple Insider, showing what might be the first glimpse of the fabled Motorola and Apple “iPhone”—or as I think it’s probably better to call it, the “iTunes Phone.” I actually talked to the Moto exec who showed it off last night and he wasn’t real hep on discussing…

G-Money and Me: Bill Gates Interview

On the way to LaGuardia to catch a flight to Las Vegas, I got a call from Microsoft’s Larry Cohen about a possible sit down with Bill Gates. I didn’t quite know what to think of it, but I wasn’t going to turn it down. I would ask the hard questions: Does Balmer really eat…

Playlist has posted a roundup of iPod accessories from CES, with lots of warm, yeasty iPod flavor. Like ths iTop from Nyko, one of my personal favorites, which transporificates the control elements of the iPod to the top. Not to disparage the click wheel, but the iTop is a great idea. CES = iAS?
