Sam Ross meets ....... Stephen Fry (part 1 of 3)

[livinglegend1187]

Stephen has no idea what he is talking about with regard to Microsoft and OS history.

[MrEthanhC]

@livinglegend1187 And if you do know what you are talking about (which I rather believe you've implied), why haven't you given information to enlighten us as to why you have justifiable belief in your argument? No one will be swayed by such a poor accusation.

I am a big Apple fan myself, but what Mr. Fry says about Bill Gates never writing a single line of code couldn't be further from the truth. Back in his days at Harvard University, he and fellow Microsoft founder Paul Allen did many all-nighters writing the first computer language that was taken up by the manufacturers of the first ever desktop computer, the Altair, that began their success. Steve Jobs on the other hand wrote very few lines of code (if any), but he had the most wonderful visions!

@darijoe I wonder where he got that from

[abyz1256]

@darijoe That's true - it's a myth that it's myth that Bill Gates was a techy (if you follow me).

[halfpennystudios]

Shame there were no close mics

[BAD333HERO]

Nice to find this, Stephen Fry is always interesting. Sam seems a bit nervous, though ;)

[GuschtlD]

What does he need 12 iPhones for? Stephen Fry is incredible, a genius!

[vvEgiB]

@GuschtlD one for each room in the house? lol

[phrenology888]

hahahaha, SF said 'tit-wanky' XD

[debrucey]

Sam Ross is hotttt :D. Stephen fry is incredible.

[thomasimon]

Stephen looks a lot like my grandfather here...in a good way!

[kaganesa]

the only thing that i disagree with stephen on is the apple v msoft.. but i totally get his pov coming from the 80s when MS was the behemoth and apple was the victim. but now, its the other way around. apple is the one throtling open source and google is kinda the new hero.

[Maffe666]

Next time use a proper mic. But Fry rules!

[odobett]

5:08 somebody gets a text

[Fubs]

Sorry man but your interviewing style is just soooo dull. But I could listen to Stephen all day. Would love to watch Pirates of Silicon Valley with him haha

[parlezuml]

Lovely Stephen Fry. A thoroughly nice chap, to boot.

Wring about Apple vs. Microsoft, though. Oh well, nobody's perfect.

[supernautistaken]

would be nice if i could hear them

[cristoff3]

jeez. you land an interview with a treasure like stephen fry and you ask him questions like 'are they all diefferent colours?' very lucky that stephen is such an interesting man lol

[TheConciseStatement]

'Oh, I have this friend called Jonny Ive'. Jesus Christ, Stephen Fry has the best friends.

[ashburnhouse]

Tit wanking rubbish. I love it.

[DaWowNerd]

[mythinktube]

[theunhappyhours]

you lucky man.

[Hedvibelle]

Stephen's hand movement at 7:10 is absolutely adorable.. not to mention his lovely socks:) Thank you, Sam Ross

I started using the internet when I was 11, in 1988. I remember getting detention because I said that I "did research on the internet for homework." None of the faculty believed that such a thing existed.

I love Stephen Fry.

[Tropicaliak]

Bill Gates coded TONS when he was younger...I'm not saying anything about MS-DOS or Microsoft, but that was a huge exaggeration to say he was only a businessman.

[tsirafauna]

what's that favourite iPhone app? didn't quite get it...

[mottyis2hotty]

i love your house Sam Ross - lovely decor ;)

[Mooktopia]

great insights from fry here...but i cant believe that even at the heights of his status he still accepts diy interviews like this.

[SamRossmeets]

true, but it shows how nice he is to give his time regardless of that

[ItsMeOrYouShitHead]

@Mooktopia research (and I dont mean that cockily :) ) his thoughts on big corporations like apple and how much he supports 'open source' and how he knows people expect content to be free on the internet etc. and it becomes very clear why he accepts these interviews.. if he wasnt famous and achieved what he has in the industry, he would be a youtuber Im certain of it
