Reading this transcript on Endadget from the Jobs - Gates chat at D. My god, these guys rock.
Love this:

Single piece of advice for a new entrepreneur? Bill is talking about economies of scale, and wanting to do great things, no worry about growth and money so much. Love of the game! Steve: It’s really [...]

Kurzweil doesn’t believe global warming is a problem

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Didn’t expect THAT, did you?
I’m prepping for my chat with Vint tomorrow morning and happened upon this recent interview with Kuzweil on CNNMoney where he says:
“These slides that Gore puts up are ludicrous,” says the man who once delivered a tech conference presentation as a singing computer avatar named Ramona. (That stunt was the [...]
