I liked: "Higher is better" -Bill Gates.

 

[blackdogdeek]

Keep reading. The best line is "We need to keep that hard."

 

[IronWing]

He's beginning to look like Jimmy Carter.

it is freaking amazing when you think about how microsoft has changed the world and how successful they are. if i had all that money i would be traveling the world 24/7!

 

[Printer Bandit]

i'd like to know if he can jump over a high chair.

 

[Mixolydian]

He's looking old for being only 57. You'd think with all that money he could afford to get some work done.

Why bother? Who would he be trying to impress? 😉

here you go...

Less than I used to. It was part of exercise for snow skiing. I still ski but I am not as hard core...

 

[slayer202]

Lmao, someone asked him what computer he is using

I just got my Surface Pro a week ago and it is very nice.
I am using a Perceptive Pixel display right now - huge Windows 8 touch whiteboard. These will come down in price over time and be pervasive...

According to multiple sources, Bill Gates basically never sleeps, and every waking hour is consumed with work. That's bound to age anyone. He definitely looks older than 57, but he's done a shitload in those years.

 

[IronWing]

Ask him why MS doesn't make EZ Ball anymore.

 

[SunnyD]

"I love bridge and garbage dumps". You, my good man, are the wealthiest old hobo I've ever seen.

😀

 

[eldorado99]

I want to know why Freeski isn't in Windows 8.

 

[BillGates]

hi

 

[IronWing]

hi

Why doesn't MS make EZ Ball anymore?

 

[Murloc]

lol same, I'd try to visit everything. I suspect he already does that with his charity activities though.

 

[God Mode]

What a crappy AMA. From the last I checked, if you click his profile, he barely replied to anything.

Screw the EZ Ball. I want my Microsoft Trackball Explorer.

 

[coldmeat]

The guy makes a million dollars an hour, and is one of the busiest men in the world. I'm not surprised he doesn't have much time to spend on reddit.

 

[Dominato3r]

What a crappy AMA. From the last I checked, if you click his profile, he barely replied to anything.

The top question was about clippy... All of the good questions get buried unless you get there first.

I think he did alright, and he answered the travel question too, he's been pretty much everywhere

 

[clamum]

Crappy AMA? Multiple people commented at how fast and much he was commenting/replying. One person said at one point he was averaging a comment/reply a minute.

I just read a little bit and thought it was great. Gates is the man.

 

[Fenixgoon]

i'm not through the AMA yet but i think he's doing a great job answering the questions, and even throwing in some humor too ("higher is better")

Gates was on Charlie Rose a few weeks back and said he needs at least 7 hours of sleep otherwise his IQ suffers:
