I find it interesting how Bill Gates speaks about tablets being the future and Jobs seems to go into deep thought about it. Could this be where the iPad idea originated?

When I watched that part, I was thinking more along the lines of the ipad being in early development stages already, so he couldn't really talk about it. Especially, when they were asked what they thought people would be using five years from now. (2012) Jobs didn't really answer the question with specifics, only with vague ideas. That's what led me to believe the ipad was still under wraps at that point.

Watching the interview made me want to check out Triumph of the Nerds again. A 3 part documentary from PBS about the rise of the personal computer from 1996. It's pretty interesting as well, each part is 50 minutes. I think I first saw it way back in 1996, hehe. It's available to watch on Youtube:

Oh and I missed the Black Friday sale MS was having on Office Mac 2011 this past weekend. It was $80 (original price $120) for 1 license! Pretty good deal. The deal was still listed when I checked out MS' website, but when I added it to my cart, it just listed the regular price.
