See that 15-foot beam of glowing manhood? That's Bill Gates. While cohort Steve Ballmer was being pelted with eggs by angry Hungarians, Microsoft Chairman Gates was making a virtual appearance at the World Congress on Information Technology 2008 in Kuala Lumpur. The crowd cheered -- or screamed in terror -- as the giant 4.6-meter holographic specter assured them that technology is, in fact, the future. Said the chairman, "There are one billion people who have a personal computer each but there are five billion others who don't. Microsoft also wants to reach these people." We're hoping that Bill has recorded several hundred holographic speeches and will continue to grace conventions' presences for years, and years, and years to come.[Thanks, alma]
WTF happened to Bill. MAN is he FAT.
Bill, DOODE, back away from the cheese and wine pal.
"help me Woz, you are my only hope..."
Useless without video.
I, for one, welcome our holographic overlords.
Silly nerd, your /. jokes have no power here.

At first I thought it said "homophobic" and not "holographic".
anything you'd like to share with us?
no video makes this news post fail
This isn't a hologram. You guys always call something holographic if it's projected. It isn't a hologram unless:
A) It's truly 3D (you seef volume and depth, not just a floating image)
B) You can see it in 3D from various angles (not necessarily from all 360 degrees, but you should be able to alter your view point at least a little and look around it to see something on it's surface that was obscured from your first view point.
Otherwise it's just a projected image.
Why dont YOU make images float in mid air huh magic man!?
Excellent......
I've spent all day trying to think of a Megaman X joke, but I couldn't come up with anything.
As far as I know him personally, he is a slim active person.
Has Gates gained weight?
