Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Interviewed at All Things Digital

[dpaanlka]

Best picture ever...

 

[TheAnswer]

Steve quotes the Beatles. "You and I have memories longer than the road ahead."

How long before that serves as fodder for the latest "Steve is dying" rumor.

"Kara: what's the greatest misunderstanding about your relationship with each other? Steve: We've kept our marriage secret for over a decade."

Ha!

Someone just won a bet.

 

[liv4Mac]

Every time I see their picture together I can't help but to think about the Mac commercials " Hi I'm a Mac" "and I'm a PC"

 

[ibjoshua]

Wow. They've been going an hour and a quarter already.

[aricher]

From the look of the notes it's a total love fest...we should all just wait for the movie. Hopefully Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ang Lee can clear time in their schedules soon.

Steve: We've kept our marriage secret for over a decade."

They might need to bring Noah Wyle & Anthony Michael Hall out of the closet for that one.

the r.e.m song "it's the end of the world" is just in my head as i see the pics. it seems just so wrong. something i thought i would never see.bill has not aged well.

 

[Mistershark]

Well, I expected a little more debate and a little less reminiscing, but it was fun to watch this take place (figuratively). No brawl, though...

 

[ibjoshua]

hmmm

These two guys are one in a million, and it's totally clear they've never respected anyone quite like each other. --engadget

Well that might be true but don't mistake respect for admiration.
Reminds me of that old joke: "What do you call an 800 pound gorilla?"

Cool interview. While I do believe they truly respect each other, I think they really had a lot of PR training prior to this interview... i could be wrong...

 

[S600MBUSA]

...I think they really had a lot of PR training prior to this interview...

My gut (or shall I say my eyes) told me the same thing.

 

[aricher]

I don't think either one of them needs PR training - they've both lived their public lives long enough to know exactly what to say. That and there isn't a PR person on this planet who could school Steve Jobs on the art of the interview/presentation.

That's a good point...

i agree! from all of steve's keynote adresses, he's great in front of people. bill can hold his own.

It seems as companies become more successful, their moves become more calculated. Jobs has been acting less Apple-ish: less brazen, letting some unreleased product info slip. Glad to hear they're working on .Mac! I've kept it, but it's been hard to justify with Google's offerings.

What?!?! No Celebrity Deathmatch?!?! JK... pretty good interview I think

 

[ajhill]

"Luke, I am your Father!", or maybe "These aren't the droids you're looking for"

I do believe we need a contest to put a caption on this picture.

"Luke, I am your Father!",

or maybe

"These aren't the droids you're looking for"

APPLE ][ Forever!

 

[jericho53]

Ok, is it just me or does SJ look like he's been tanning?

 

[ModestINK]

I hope steve makes bill gates look real bad then he can hit bill with another pie.

 

[TheBobcat]

Ah, no public spat or catfight on stage! This isn't news. Is Paris out of jail yet?

PS: Man, Steve must really want continued development of Mac Office with all this public butt kissing.

 

[AndrewMT]

Umm, transcripts are great but where is the video I'm staying up all night for?

 

[zioxide]

lol.. you guys seriously thought that they would argue? They're good friends. The Apple/Microsoft and Steve/Bill rivalry **** is made up by the fanboys and the media.

 

[samh004]

I can't wait for a .Mac plan to be revealed, some new features that I can and will actually use would be great.

Hopefully something is revealed at WWDC.
