- drworthless, on 01/07/2008, -3/+26Yeah you are right, I've never seen an Apple commercial featuring a rival OS...
- truspect0r, on 01/07/2008, -5/+24wow that was boring.
- jazh, on 01/07/2008, -1/+19It's pretty sad actually. Bill Gates is like a permanent feature of the PC World. Microsoft will miss him even if he was taking a back seat for the last few years.

You can choose stream speeds - edicius, on 01/07/2008, -0/+9WTF is a copyscanner?
- Okari, on 01/07/2008, -4/+12Yes, more over-priced products that fanboys will eat up.
- Fizban140, on 01/07/2008, -4/+12Ya because Microsofts small share of the OS market is no threat to Apple, and what they say in public is exactly what they are thinking.
- elvenseven, on 01/07/2008, -6/+14wtf, silverlight just crashed my firefox.
- Okari, on 01/07/2008, -1/+9It's ***** that Bill didn't even get the final word in his last keynote.
- Rowan187, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7Oh my god.... he's totally hacking.. he brought slash out xD
- iofthestorm, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7Huh? I just listed VLC as an alternative to WMP because WMP is kind of slow. It's a WMV stream, and I don't know of any other players that can play WMV but there probably are others.
Also, the other comment before me wasn't there when I posted. - dn11, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7"Gadgetell"..... really? Do we really need yet another gadget blog?
- Okari, on 01/07/2008, -9/+15I'm getting tired of Apple acting like stuck up idiots.
- virtualball, on 01/07/2008, -2/+8"Redmond, get your copyscanners ready!"
Or something like that :P - Photog, on 01/07/2008, -1/+7Hmmm, way to go out on a low note
- digitalarcanum, on 01/07/2008, -0/+6Apple TV, the pippin. the newton. the jellybean imacs. masterful design amirite?
- digitalarcanum, on 01/07/2008, -3/+8as opposed to what? Steve Jobs giving his fanboys some new, over-priced piece of crap hardware for his fanboys to fap to?
- iofthestorm, on 01/07/2008, -1/+6A direct link to the stream you can watch in VLC or Windows Media Player: http://wm.istreamplanet.com/customers/ms/01062008_ ...
- TomFrost, on 01/07/2008, -0/+5You should also stop assuming everyone's on Windows and has WMP right at their fingertips. That was an excellent tip for new Mac and Linux users who hadn't attempted to play a .wmv yet.
- NyteStarNyne, on 01/07/2008, -0/+5Maybe they should have saved the "Bill Gates' Last Day" video for last. It was clearly the most entertaining part of the keynote.
- jrbrewin, on 01/07/2008, -1/+6having a mac icon, then negatively commenting on a microsoft related article REALLY impresses me.
- Rowan187, on 01/07/2008, -1/+5quick link to the live stream -> http://lenks.net/e
(lenks is a new short link redirections ite) - digitalarcanum, on 01/07/2008, -1/+5justify it all you want, the iphone is ***** and hasn't revolutionized a god damn thing. for pete ***** sake there's no 3g on it. Only that Apple is a master of is marketing and astroturfing. I mean *****, it there was a keynote for every PC and mobile device everyone else in the known world presented there would be no end to the fail.
- inactive, on 01/07/2008, -1/+5The opening video was the best thing I've seen this year.
- allyant, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4Funny vid Bill made up of hist last day!
- staticblake, on 01/07/2008, -3/+7I have new found respect for Bill Gates...glad to see he can take a joke.
- thedragon4453, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4Digg's algorithm. Things make the front page not necessarily by number of diggs, but also how fast things are dugg.
- archer75, on 01/07/2008, -5/+9I agree. It's getting really old. And i'm typing this in OS X too.
- battletrax, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3lol you got buried.
- digitalarcanum, on 01/07/2008, -1/+4you're generating a ***** dynamo of fail right now.
- Okari, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3Same goes for Macworld, but I bet you'll be watching every moment of it.
- jrbrewin, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3donating Billions to worthy causes is a joke? May i suggest killing yourself and removing yourself from the gene pool.
- Corman420, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3Bill Gates didnt rip the guitar hero!!! And neither did SLASH!!
- Marku$, on 01/07/2008, -5/+8what is with the gay cardigans ?
- UKsHaDoW, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Gates and him both have the same sweater, while one is just really really bright blue.
- brownr21, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Silverlight > Flash. Nuff said.
- michaelyurechko, on 01/07/2008, -2/+4I'm watching live stream and reading live blog for commentary. irc.fuseirc.net #Main is hilarious, people adding commentary.
- jrbrewin, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/billg/bio. ... - "After July 2008 Gates will continue to serve as Microsoft’s chairman and an advisor on key development projects"
- TheRealDj, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3no real huge announcement. Certainly nothing about Xbox(I don't include more tv content as counting). So maybe there was an Xbox 360 Ultimate with an internal HD-DVD drive.
- jrbrewin, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2can the above comment be justification for changing the capcha test on digg account setup to an IQ test? Please?
- Daniel591992, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3http://wm.istreamplanet.com/customers/ms/01062008_ ...
- boflaade, on 01/07/2008, -2/+4My Fox wasn't effected. You may check out your add-ons and find the problem there.
- digitalarcanum, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2where did the previous nine iterations of the mac os place in terms of innovation for any year?
- Rowan187, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2That's not saying much in 6 days...
- obxjdt, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Site seems to be down right now... I look forwards to watching it.
While I have no love for Microsoft, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Bill Gates, and what he has accomplished!
When & if he completely leaves MS, MS is doomed! Don't believe me? Use Mac as an example. Jobs left, and they almost died. He came back and saved them. Gates is the life blood of that company, and is needed to survive.
If you have stock in MS, I recommend you sell when it looks like he's leaving for good!!! I don't think he'll go back. Just think what would happen if he started a new software company that competed with MS, or went into the Open Source community... - jrbrewin, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2i think stevey boy does the cheap-shot thing a whole lot better than the comment you quoted, which is more of what we like to call a 'fact'.
- jazh, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2I think Bill didn't have last word on his request.
Must be emotional I guess? - mnick, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Most disappointing thing was not seeing Bill Gates play guitar hero. That would have made my night. Slash is cool, but there are tons of videos of him playing guitar.
