A couple of weeks ago Engadget interviewed
Bill
Gates, today Joystiq interview
Steve Ballmer about the XBOX 360. I stayed up late last
night helping the guys transcribe the tape. Steve Ballmer is still the loud, laughing maniac I remember interviewing
for Silicon Alley Reporter/Digital Coast Reporter back in 99—and he is still sharp as a samurai sword. He goes from
screaming in excitement to introspective in 7 seconds. I'd love to see him and Jeff Bezos watch Chappelle Show
sometime—these guys are both huge laughers.
Great interview… I wish you could hear the tape (not sure if there is a podcast of this one happening… there should be!). Everyone in the room was laughing so hard at one point it sounds like a drunken frat party.
1. This is definitely a 'podcast' I'd want to hear, so yes please, do post it.
