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.
I’m a capitalist. There I said it. I like free, but I respect fee-based services for valuable solutions. Innovators should get paid, and heavy users should open their wallets. There are two ways to transition between free and paid: fair and uncool. Let’s examine two models for each, and explain why Ning (who failed at…
Forget FEMA and television newscasters. How’d the web do for live coverage of Irene? Surely I’m not the only guy bored by our local coverage, as Yahoo Buzz puts “Hurricane Irene” as the third-most searched term on Yahoo (after the words Facebook and YouTube). So how are we doing? Well the online-video coverage is varying…
Check it out. I got ZeFrank’s video of the day before he posted it. Does that count for anything?
This has been around for a while, but I just saw it for the first time. Ever wonder how George Lucas was inspired to write Star Wars? George Lucas in Love
As reported by The Onion, the Advertising industry is facing serious competition by amateurs. Oh, did I mention you’re not pwning each other enough in the comments? Strap one on. Commercial Community College Commercial from The Midnight Show
We creators don’t take offense to poor ratings. But sometimes our body parts do. Watch in horror as this video creator’s hand removes itself and pursues revenge on someone who ranked its owner’s video poorly. This type of reaction is fairly typical of users of Metacafe, since ratings determine a video’s eligibility into the profitable…

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.
