In his annual and last ever keynote speech for the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft (MSFT) Chairman William Gates speculated on the future of technology during the next decade. He believes screens, from television sets to mobile phones, will go high-definition, and they will connect seamlessly. And he said that consumers will increasingly use so-called "natural user interfaces," such as speech recognition and touch-screen technology. "People are very interested in a simpler way of navigating," Gates said.
But things really got interesting when Gates wondered aloud about what his last day at Microsoft would be like before he steps away from day-to-day duties in July to work full time at philanthropy. That led into a self-deprecating video where an awkward Gates tries rapping Jay-Z's Big Pimpin'as the artist runs the soundboard. "It was great," Jay-Z tells Gates, before turning to the camera and whispering, "not so much."
Unlike a certain other M$ exec, at least when B-Gates "performs" he selects outlets (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bill+gates+dynamite) that reduce the chance people will be laughing
at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Monkeyboy) him...
