It’s not every day that I have a chance to videotape a zillionaire without him knowing. Here’s “Bill Gates Raw!”
The idea was to see how many subtle Mac or Linux comments we could make before driving the Microsoft founder off the deep end.
A nice report by “The Upside to Video Uploads” by Business Week. While this segment will undergo consolidation and specialization, a mini dot-com implosion is simply not on the horizon—and especially not for the reasons being cited by some pundits. Predictions about this collapse have focused on two issues: the lack of a business model…
Dan Rayburn writes about the poor targeting of online video ads. I think the problem is that the revenue flowing into online-video is going through media buyers. Media buyers look for reach, frequency, and price. While Rayburn shouldn’t be seeing ads for female razors, the targeting and placement shouldn’t be about registered users and IAB-approved…
We’re three days away from when participants of the Kony 2012 movement will be blanketing the town with posters, but one could argue they won’t do much better than the 180 million views to date. Visible Measures has a stat roundup of the social-cause campaign that popped in early March 2012. For comparison, M&M’s 2012…

Tuesdays suck. Why? It's the worst day to check videos. For reasons I can't quite explain, people do more on e-mail and the web on Tuesdays. It's been a long-standing "secret" that promotional e-mails get the best "open rates" on Tuesdays. My CubeBreak traffic spikes on Tuesdays. Even this blog spikes on Tuesdays. But all…
A lot of journalists will let their subjects wander aimlessly about a story. But you have to give Jamison Tilzner, of Tilzy.tv, kudos for getting right to the story. As “Hooking Up” writer Woody Tondorf waxes poetically about some of the second-rate YouTube weblebrities appearing in the HBOLabs web series (which is now featured on…

Man. I’m a Mac user and I found that rather offensive. Geez. Leave Bill alone with the Apple/Linux vs Microsoft. It’s old and tired already.
You could have done so much more with this opportunity. How about maybe asking him about his foundation and how he’s looking to help children around the world.
Pretty sad state of affairs when you use a kid to say “I like Linux” to Bill Gates.
Sue him? SUE him? Bill Gates could have him eaten…with wasabe.
But Nalts is not afraid.
I’m not entirely stupid. I had my 4-year-old grab his wallet before he left. Helloooooo amazon.com.
Bill Gates impersonators are a dime a dozen. Only Elvis has more. This guy could maybe pass for a 30ish Bill Gates, but he’s definitely not the almost 50ish version we see today. Nice try, nonetheless.
Do you honestly think I have budget for a real Bill Gates impersonator? This guy just happened to look like him and he obliged to this video. Interestingly enough, he’s in the software business and visits Microsoft. They often think he’s an impersonator.
I didn’t realize how young he looked relative to Gates until I found some recent photo of the Microsoft founder. Maybe I should have put some makeup on this guy.
