Lots of fun stuff happening at MIX this week.  One highlight was a conversation between Tim O'Reilly and Bill Gates at the end of Bill's keynote on Monday.

i've never seen bill so excited, and he cares about users!? holy (I need to watch my language)!

very awesome.  i love that idea of buying a phone at it automatically (or after some sort of authentication process) gets customized to your needs and interests.

but since when did bill not care about users?  isn't that what the company is about?

am i the only who noticed that Bill gives Apple the middle finger at 18:25?
He's talking about the Apple profit model and is subconciously giving Apple the finger.
scroll and find out for yourself

I thought he was giving O'Reilly the middle finger for all his stupid boring questions...
I think Bill is SO excited unable to think of his own gesture.Smiley
Great conversation!  Neat to see Mr. Gates enthusiasm too..very informative as well!
Bill has a new york twang? Sounds Bronx like.

Public speaking doesn't really suite him in my view, from the videos I've watched., atleast on a techie level - he comes accross as very self-conscious of being over technical but not being geeky enough.
Very good conversation. Bill was very good. But themes all the same. Too much water...
They need more questions

Nice Q&A session, wonderfull to see how mr gates is able to again give such an amazing overview of his or the organizations idea. This is not something he is making up to sound good, he really believes it. Not only seeing it happening, but making it happen.

It's amazing to think that he is a person with no real need to work for human survival, but still he works a lot at a very high level to get the technical ideas and think of the business aspect behind them and put them all in to context.

Just one question, in the live stream from the keynote he had some white thing in his hand which he was holding like it was an deck of cards, readdy to start playing poker. It looked like some sort of next generation ipod mini looking device.

What did he do with that device? was it to foward the slides or did it function as something else?
