Steve Jobs/Bill Gates D5 interview available in iTunes
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates sat down with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at the All Things Digital conference for a joint interview the other day. The footage of the interview was posted at the D5 website, but it was broken up into chunks. Now you can watch, or listen, to the interview in its entirety thanks to the iTunes Store. That's right, the interview is now available as a video or audio podcast. The audio only version checks in at 85 megs or so, while the video file is almost 1 gig in size.
I'm downloading the video as I type this, and I suggest you do the same. It isn't often that one gets to watch two people who have shaped technology in such a meaningful way sit down and share their thoughts about the past, present, and future (though Steve never comments on future products).
Thanks, Karim.
Update: I neglected to mention that Steve and Bill were interviewed in a tag team fashion by Walt and Kara Swisher.

CRAP!
I'm on a 6Mb/s Comcast connection and the first quarter GB of the video came down the pipes at wicked speed. I checked the progress a little later and found it had stopped downloading. Had to restart where it left off, and now it's slower than mud.
Flang Blammin' server overload!

Bill Gates looks, acts as weird as Ben from Lost. I do not trust him, whatever he says. He will always remain the leader of "the others" to me.

Thanks for the post, Scott, but you have made a grave error that needs correcting. I did NOT do this interview alone. It was jointly conducted by me and my co-producer, Kara Swisher.

This was a really great conversation, though the moderators sounded more like an old married couple and the female had a few bouts of less-than-professionalism.
Nevertheless, hearing about what these giants think about the future of technology was much more inspiring than anything one could read on the net (no offense).

Walt, the interview would have been better without Kara - she was not professional in the slightest and kept interrupting the flow of the interview. Most of my time watching this interview was wishing that she'd shut up and let you, Jobs and Gates speak.
