Bill Gates Last Day of Work

This video was released at CES yesterday as Bill Gates gave a speech on Sync 2.0. I guess who cares about how crappy Sync won’t work and blah blah blah. But this video makes Bill Gates look cooler than Steve Jobs!
This is hilarious, however they got the likes of George Clooney, Jon Stewart, Bono, Jay-Z, Brian Williams, Steven Spielberg and Matthew McConaughey to help with this video rocks. Amazing the pull Bill Gates can bring. The George Clooney piece is hilarious.
Can they digg this bad press?

A few friends of mine have been hyped on Digg for a long time now and it’s been gaining steam for some time now! Digg has been on major scrutiny it seems from just about everywhere I look these days. The first time I was told about Digg it was described to me as a place that “Showed the stories Slashdot didn’t post” which seemed like an interesting and creative mentality.
The ForeverGeek scandal called Digg out on having a “Digg Army” that Dugg each other’s posts, foisting those stories onto the main page consistently. This wasn’t the first time Digg had been accused of something like this but it was the first time it received major attention. Many major media networks tapped into the story at this time. Forever Geek was then banned from Digg (later reinstated after a reply from Kevin Rose) and magically members of the “Digg Army” seemed to phase out as well.
These kind of things are to be expected with massive growth on a project and as Digg continues to grow the anti-hero down with Digg mentality will grow within the IT/web elitist but I figured it was something worth putting up some penmanship about this morning. A “Brief History of Digg Controversy” and a section in the digg.com wiki entry got me motivated to type this one up. At the time of this article digg is 135 on Alexa.
