Oh yeah, you would've liked to be at the Humanities Theatre when Bill Gates came to speak at UW.
He talked mostly about what software will be able to do in the future...no more worrying about multiple email addresses and constantly changing phone numbers...portable information available at your fingertips...smart filtering so that email and phone calls will be sorted according to priority...instant and reliable translation between languages.
He also demo'ed the XBOX 360 and showed us this cool tabletop computer where the input to the machine is a webcam and the output/display is a projector. The main machine is a simple cellphone which links up to the tabletop computer.
The look on Mike Lazaridis's face was priceless when Bill Gates showed off the Motorola Q.
