Geek Factor : This One Goes To 11

Although I try and curtail an overabundance of 'pure geek fodder' on this website, this interview between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates is not only a wonderful look back at the evolution of the industry, but it's frickin' hilarious. Seriously, these guys are having a great time talking about their history, competition, marketing and more. If you're even the slightest bit of a geek, this will be worth watching. And if you're heavily tapped into the industry and, like myself and many of my friends, you've actually lived through much of this, it's priceless.



A great quote from Gates about Job's return to power at Apple:


I was calling Gil Amelio on weekends and trying to get things moving. And then one day, Steve called me and said, ‘Don’t worry about those Amelio negotiations anymore.
