Charlie Rose interviews ‘Bill Gates 2.0′ on 60 Minutes: the man after Microsoft
Author: Tech Blogger
Last night’s 60 Minutes gave a solid block of screen time to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with a focus on his efforts to tackle preventable diseases through the Gates Foundation. The show looked at how the Foundation is using the ethos of a technology company to meet humanitarian challenges, such as its recent plumbing-free toilet competition to improve sanitation around the world, and the development of a thermos that can keep 200 vaccines cool for 50 days using a single block of ice. Separately, Gates also spoke about the late Steve Jobs and how the two men effectively “grew up together” as rivals. 60 Minutes interviewer Charlie Rose noted that Gates will “long be remembered” for his philanthropy, whereas Jobs “did not have time to do that.” There are two excerpts from the show after the break, but we can’t guarantee how well they’ll work on mobile devices so you may want to go straight to the source links below.

Bill Gates and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen recreate classic photo from 1981
Author: Jenny Zhao
Many were surprised in 2011 when Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen slammed Bill Gates in the pages of his autobiography, Idea Man; the book claimed that Gates colluded with current CEO Steve Ballmer to reduce Allen’s stake in the company, among other accusations. But last year’s paperback edition included an epilogue hinting that the two men had overcome their differences, and now we’re seeing further evidence that the friendship has healed — Allen and Gates have posed for a photo that recalls a classic Microsoft shot from the 80s.

Bill Gates, 18-year-old Harvard freshman, is looking for a job
Author: Jon Daniels
The event that saw Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen pose for a classic photo reenactment has turned up another gem from the pair’s early history. Seattle’s Living Computer Museum held a gathering last night for many of founder Paul Allen’s friends and fellow technological luminaries, and it also managed to dig up Gates’ and Allen’s pre-Microsoft resumes.
At the time Gates was a freshman at Harvard; he said he’d be available from June 1974, would be happy to work “anywhere,” and suggested a salary baseline of $ 15,000. Both Gates and Allen worked at Honeywell in the summer of 1974, before Gates dropped out of Harvard the following year to start Microsoft. Two decades later, Gates would be anointed the world’s richest man.

ON IT: Bill Gates Offers $100K For Better Condom Design
Author: Brian McKinnell
Would not taste that rainbow.
Bill Gates, who may or may not be suffering from boner loss due to current condom design, is offering a $ 100,000 reward for a next-gen prophylactic that encourages greater condom use so people stop contracting diseases and children.
Additional concepts that might increase [condom usage] uptake include attributes that increase ease-of-use for male and female condoms, for example better packaging or designs that are easier to properly apply. In addition, attributes that address and overcome cultural barriers are also desired.
I’ve got this in the bag. The dong bag. Are you listening, Bill? Check it: first of all, all condoms should come in wrappers that read XXL, even if they’re smalls. Secondly, there should be an integrated LED so you can see where you’re aiming plus wave it around in the dark like a flashlight. Thirdly, condoms should only cover the very tip of the penis like a winter hat so — wait, where you are going? Aren’t you at least gonna get my bank account info for the money transfer?
Thanks to E V I L A R E S, who’s so evil he made me type spaces between all the letters in his name. Ice cold, bro.

Bill Gates calls for more innovation at Microsoft after past mobile ‘mistake’
Author: Tech Blogger
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has admitted that the software giant didn’t nail the mobile market when it had the opportunity. “There’s a lot of things like cellphones where we didn’t get out in the lead early,” says Gates. “We didn’t miss cellphones, but the way that we went about it didn’t allow us to get the leadership.” Gates says this strategy was “clearly a mistake.”
Describing himself and Ballmer as “self-critical”, he praises the work on Windows 8, Surface, and Bing. However, Gates admits the recent products aren’t enough. “He [Ballmer] and I are not satisfied that in terms of breakthrough things that we’re doing everything possible,” says Gates. The honest and frank interview is a rare…

Bill Gates hits Reddit for an AMA, replies using 80-inch Windows 8 display
Author: Angela Chin
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates took to Reddit today for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. After describing Windows 8 as a “huge advance,” Gates also revealed he has “tried all of Apple [sic] products.” According to Gates he’s currently using a Surface Pro and an 80-inch Windows 8 display, the same used by CEO Steve Ballmer. In fact, he even used the device to reply to Reddit comments.
Other highlights include Gates describing WinFS, a file system that was supposed to debut in Vista, as a program or product that he wished had made it to market. “We had a rich database as the client/cloud store that was part of a Windows release that was before its time,” said Gates. “This is an idea that will remerge since your cloud store will be rich…

Windows 8 and Surface tablet have done ‘well,’ says Bill Gates
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Is Windows 8 succeeding? We still don’t know for sure, but at least part-time Microsoft chairman Bill Gates seems pleased with the progress of the new operating system. When CNBC asked him whether he’d ever return to Microsoft as CEO — not so subtly implying that the company could use more of his help — Gates said that both Windows 8 and the Surface tablet were doing “well,” and without his full-time input.
Microsoft says it’s sold 60 million licenses for Windows 8 so far, but it’s not clear whether that translates to human beings actually buying the OS. Market research firm NPD suggests that Windows 8 isn’t helping a declining trend in PC sales, at least one partner (Fujitsu) isn’t happy with its performance, and sales are…

Bill Gates: tablets in the classroom have a ‘terrible track record’
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Among other things, Apple’s iBooks 2 initiative is designed to put modern digital textbooks into schools, and some studies have found that the tablet can be a positive learning tool. However, not everyone’s convinced — Bill Gates, for example. In an in-depth interview with the Chronicle of Higher Education, the Microsoft co-founder said that the future of education requires a lot more than simply providing people with new ways to read.
“Just giving people devices, that has a really terrible track record. You really have to change the curriculum and the teacher and those things, and it’s never going to work on a device where you don’t have keyboard-type input. I mean, students aren’t there just to read things — they’re supposed to…

Malcolm Gladwell on entrepreneurship: history will remember Bill Gates, forget Steve Jobs
Author: Tiffany Shoman
The two great icons of our industry, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, came up in a talk given by Malcolm Gladwell recently at the Toronto Public Library. In discussing capitalism and entrepreneurship, Gladwell makes the point that amorality — i.e. the absence of a moral compass in making business decisions — is a fundamental prerequisite for being a successful business leader. He considers the entirety of Bill Gates’ tenure as Microsoft chief to be that of “the most ruthless capitalist,” which is not too dissimilar from his analysis of Steve Jobs’ leadership. The difference, says Gladwell, is that Gates turned away from that amoral (note, not immoral) behavior after retiring and took up the task of spending his wealth on philanthropic…
