Bill Gates Bloopers

bookrats · 01-16-2005, 05:00 PM

Here's a [url=http://news.com.com/1606-2-5517693.html?pref=yes]fun collection of outtakes from Bill Gates' keynote address at the CES problems.

It probably didn't help that Conan O'Brian was sitting up there with him...

The two things that struck me the most were:[list]God, Gates looks uncomfortable -- which is sort of unusual, as so many CEOs these days are compatively slick when talking to the public.[*]For some reason, Gates really looks like Stephen Hawking in these clips.[list]

Maybe they're really the same person. Ever see them in the same room together?

Quite a contrast to Steve Jobs during this years Macworld keynote in San Francisco. He was as slick as ever.

I've watched his speechs since the 90's and to be perfectly honest he always reminds me of a deer walking on ice he can do it but it's not natural and like the deer he's always on his toes. Jobs on the other hand looks like a used car salesman. Slick.

The comparison between Gates and Jobs I like is this:[list]Bill Gates wants to be rich.[*]Steve Jobs wants to be cool.[list]
Both are happy men, and their products reflect their desires.

Used car salesmen peddle products with fewer bugs than Gates does.

Sorry, Hawking has more charisma.
