Bill Gates - Deposition Part 2

[crayonplane]

I'm waiting for the deposition around Microsoft's relationship with various advertisers.

[Jaahhk]

@ 3:28 that whole dictionary definition part is great... owned

[superdave31]

As much as I like

Bill I think people are forgetting that Microsoft

Initially LOST this case. So obviously the

Lawyer didn't do too bad!!

bill gates to lawyer: prepare to be dominated.

[MaudoSey]

"I just meant that browsing(using a web browser) in general would be a popular activity" Owning the questioner so as to avoid his statement to be misunderstood whilst making an extremely accurate prediction of the future of the world as we know it , wow this dude is smart!

[RezaShah4]

am i the only person who sees the link to "breastfeeding at age 8" on the Suggestions?

[scott71785]

Gates is very very smart. A memorandum is an official document. An e-mail has far less legal binding. That is why he refuses to admit that it's a memorandum.

[SlightlyAmiss]

Bill could split a hair 500 different ways. However, he's right. All words used or defined have context.

It could have been a lot esier for Gates to simply say that directly.

[legion2]

the DoJ was trying to set "killer application" up as a legal definition for their case evidence. By saying internet explorer was a killer app they were trying to say that microsoft internally acknowledged that IE was intended to remove all competition, using the second definition from the dictionary. unfortunately for the DoJ, a dictionary does not "define" words. a dictionary catalogs the popular use of words. Bill didn't bite, and the rest of history.

[fjccommish]

@legion2 Of course, that's what any good company wants.  A good company wants their products used instead of competitors' products. But as legion wrote Bill wasn't going to agree with the DOJ's claim of definition of a word that people use in different ways.

[SKEvil]

Lmao, that dictionary bit is awesome.

[mikez90]

the lawyer sounds like obama

[kahuna3901]

i like how the interviewer lies on tape by saying no he wasnt asking him when he was

[jhouse0970]

its funny he speaks of VOD and how it was not as successful as everyone thought it would be. They were just ahead of the curve I guess because I guess you cant say that for it now. Its funny how technology can get ahead of itself and become popular years later after other advancements. I want in on the next best thing!

[jhouse0970]

The attorney is majorly outclassed!

[dwilmer7]

Gates totally owned this guy at 3:25 - 3:50. Notice how Gates starts pointing his finger at him, (basically being the CEO).. Then the lawyer sort of sardonically says "you're familiar with how a dictionary works? " and Gates doesnt even take the bait, but even corrects his definition of a dictionary, then goes on point out the looney nature of his questioning, using pure logic. Gates kicks as.s. imho. Always has.

His defense of "killer application" is the equivalent of Clinton's "definition of what is is"

[Lavathing9]

That lawyer got pwnt, Bill Gates is too smart for him.

[kyeremian]

i think that bill is not accepting the definitions as stated by the lawyer because if he does, then the lawyer would be able to draw associations between bill gates and the dictionary that gates claims that he has nothing to do with.

[wiscont]

I love angry Bill Gates. SMART!

[turbis]

A "Killer application" sounds like a slang for a "Awesome application"

[TheTomtah]

Although I must say Gates is making it harder for the lawyer by not accepting the definitions and chain of events the lawyer wants him to. I just thought he took it a bit to far on some occasions. Also his arrogant attitude is completely unnecessary.

[diaphanoux]

u kidding me, this guy is a master in avoiding questions and playing with the lawyer's mind, forget his arrogance attitude, it's so cool!!!lol!~~

[douvil]

@diaphanoux Mark Zukerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has the same personnality.

[machinesix]

the lawyer is just an idiot. bill gates is just answering the questions carefully so that his statements aren't used against him.

[fjccommish]

@machinesix Right. If he had agreed to the November release, they'd say "aha! IE1 was released in August. Bill lied." Nobody can remember every action they took, every email written, in order, for years and years. Investigations like this depend on that. Then they can convict people of lying.

[ramonesacidpillsh]

He's just channeling his power... A short time after this preceding, all of the computer's owned by the questioners exploded.

[robo3325]

"Video on demand and interactive TV never did catch on..."

[MidnightRambler444]

He's so much smarter than the lawyer

[TheTomtah]

Lol no he's not. He certainly thinks he's clever and but the additions and redefinitions he does are not very relevant and doesn't help his case.

[MidnightRambler444]

I know the Swedish are the most intelligent, enlightened and gifted people on the planet but you clearly don't understand what a deposition is son. They didn't land a glove on him and it is they that have to make their case, he is the defendant. Do you get it?

[TheTomtah]

You're right. My comment was not very well thought out and was made more in passing than anything else.

What I meant to say was just that he was nitpicking a little bit too much and delaying the proceedings.

[rihyun]

LOL @ 3:30

I love it how Bill schools Houck.

[saelaird]

Bill RAPES ASS!

[Hunkola]

I always thought lawyers were the dumbest, most annoying people in the world.....until I saw Bill Gates giving a deposition.....he takes the cake.

[HairyPotter2006]

the guy is a saint. let's see if Vatican starts the process of his canonization

[ESTELLESKODA]

What the hell do defintions have to do with stupid definitions.

[fugert]

im just curious as to why this is edited/parts are cut out at times

[moderate1992]

[clay561]

When you say poular are you saying that it is not like cabbage patch dolls?

[code5000]

He's a handsome liar.

[TheThomasShow]

First commenter those that make me like special or something

[fleetwoodsucks]
