Bill Gates and Woody Allen
I found a link to Bill Gate's WinHec Keynote in this Slashot article and was struck by three things: What a terrible public speaker Bill Gates is; not only his monotone voice and total lack of humour, but his continual use of the word "customers" to refer to "users".... If you watch the keynote and skip forward about one hour and three minutes you'll see a sickeningly buzz-word-filled demonstration of transparent windows with movies playing in a window behind them, and watch in awe as windows shrink in slow motion when you minimize them (curiously like Mac OS X's "genie" effect).
