Jobs versus Gates one week away in the ultimate technology battle royale

Less than a week remains until Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Microsoft Dictator Bill Gates square off in a head to head debate at the All Things Digital Event over in New York City. What can we expect out of the big two. A cordial convo or a raunchy romp?

There will no doubt be lots of mud thrown over the whole PMP competition between the Zune and the iPod as well as talk about a possible Zune phone compared to the upcoming iPhone. We’d love just to see these guys go at it. Tux can be the ref. — Andrew Dobrow

I now pronounce you, Mii and Mii. You may kiss the Wii.

Gamer geeks have got to stick together. Sometimes, this even means getting married. And what would be a gamer wedding without gamer props? A couple getting married commissioned a pair of Mii figurines which will replace the typical bride and groom figures placed on top of the wedding cake.

These Mii figurines are a product of MiiSculpture, a company which will custom make a likeness of your Mii character, immortalizing your legendary gaming years. These figurines typically take around 3-4 weeks to ship because of their handmade craftsmanship. They also have a impressive selection of celebrity Mii figurines pictured on their site, including Bill Gates and Chuck Norris. — Andrew Dobrow

Laugh of the Day: Bill Gates finally getting a Harvard degree, only 34 years late

Jailbird and corporate genius Bill Gates, after dropping out of Harvard decades ago, is finally receiving an honorary degree from the prestigious university. Gates would have been part of the class of 1977 if he had not dropped out to start up Microsoft. He’s what we like to call a college sell out. So, only late by 34 years, Gates will finally receive his Harvard degree. This is proof that people can have their cake and eat it too. In yo FACE, Steve Jobs! — Andrew Dobrow

Stunningly bad Windows 386 promo video from Hell

[ev type="youtube" data="QGO2hVA3P58"][/ev]

What the hell was Bill Gates on when he approved this commercial? The fact that this video was played to prospective customers is absolutely ridiculous. If we were buying software and this is the video we saw from Microsoft, we would think they were some back alley public broadcasting company. Take a gander and the video if you can stay awake long enough to watch it. WARNING: Might cause boredom and lack of acting skill induced comas. — Andrew Dobrow
