Video: Bill Gates is looking for a job -- fruitlessly

Would you hire a 52 year old college dropout who's only had one job his entire life? Ok, but what if the college he dropped out of was Harvard, and the one job he's is as founder and chairman of the world's most powerful software company? No, not even then? If you haven't already seen it, watch as our man Bill flounders in the hunt for a new gig, as shown at his final CES keynote a couple of days ago. Good luck out there, man -- and don't forget, if you're looking for a few extra bucks we'd love your help covering Macworld next week.

oops, that was supposed to be a reply to Ben.

Forgive my stupidity . . .

did no one catch the jay-z pun in the audience? no one laughed when he questioned about retiring and then un-retiring...

the journey, by john williams (NBC theme at the beginning), is brilliant music that takes my breath away.

lol, his laptop bag was on the roof of his car when he arrived at work??

he could be my new computer guy, that would be awesome.
I can very much use a new computer guy back at the hospital, the one we have now has such a holier-than-thou attitude it wouldn't be any surprise to me if he ends up being used in some of our not so ethical experiments.

How about throwing me a bone, Bill? A few billion wouldn't hurt.

Ahhh bless lovely Bill, I just want to give him a cuddle. He can come and live in my garden, I'll look after him :-)

Hmm.... bill gates is cooler than ever now. i remember when they use to trash him and throw pies on his face.

we all definitely owe him a lot in computer technology.

[Captain Underpants and the Bring Posted Jan 10th 2008 6:21PM]

you mean we all owe STEVE JOBS. am I the only one who remembers that bill gates copies off steve jobs all the time? the last innovative thing he did was...who am I kidding everything hes done is copyware.

If it wasn't for Bill Gates, Apple wouldn't even be around anymore. Shut up, please.

[Captain Underpants and the Bring Posted Jan 10th 2008 6:20PM]

this just makes me dislike bill gates even more, with the fact that hes obviously trying to market to todays youth and you people are eating it up. Heres a hint: POP CULTURE REFERENCES DO NOT MAKE YOU HIP. Go design some more oft-delayed disappointing operating systems filled with bloatware and having ridiculous system requirements.

That was a great video. We never get to see that side of Bill. Thanks for all you've done, Bill, and thanks for the humor. We're gonna miss ya.

Ok, So the ultra capitalist Bill Gates, really supports Socialists. That makes sense.
