Bill and Conan

The world's biggest consumer electronics show (CES) is now on in Las Vegas. Lots of really cool gadgets and software being shown off (including some of Stardock's stuff).

Amongst some of the highlights so far is a 102 inch plasma screen TV, Kodak's new camera with wireless email, and a bunch of Tivo related announcements.

To bad about the BSOD:

From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52460-2005Jan6.html

Not once, but twice during the show demos broke down, bringing the presentation to an awkward halt, and eliciting snickers from the audience. The first glitch kept a photo slide show from working -- the same way old slide projectors used to jam. Gates's cohost, late-night TV's Conan O'Brien managed to crack a few jokes about the malfunction. ("Who's in charge of Microsoft?" he demanded. "....Oh.")

The second glitch may have been worse. A staffer was on stage talking about the sweet features of a new Xbox race-car game. The game allows the user to customize his or her car by choosing from 150 types of bumpers. Without warning, the screen went deep blue. (Echos of Windows's classic Blue Screen of Death.) White lettering popped up saying, "Out of memory." Oops. More nervous laughter from the crowd. Someone sitting behind me pondered how many jobs at Microsoft will be lost as a result of this malfunction. Game over for the cool car.

Yup,

Here in the UK, Gates stood up back then and held up a copy of Win 98 in each hand "Bug-free!" he proclaimed, "Bug-free!"...little did he know he held over 200 bugs in each hand...as we say over here "Ace!".

Does Bill Gates have a good sense of humor? Conan has made jokes about Bill Gates on Late Night, but it's all in good fun I am sure.

BTW, Conan is a Mac user
