Steve Jobs and Bill Gates discuss desktop vs. web apps and mobile devices (excellent arguments and ideas!)

Wow... Steve Jobs is just an order of magnitude better than Bill as a speaker.

Yeah. But I was as impressed with Bill's humility, especially when he said he wished he had Steve's sense of taste.

Anybody know how to hack the Brightcove video (rss feed) onto my iPod (preferably just the sound!)?

What OS do you use? Under a Mac OS, I went to this temp folder: /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/ and I copied the "FlashTmp0" file that was created there and renamed it as a flv (flash video file). I then used Quicktime and Perian plug-in to play flv file. The video from Brightcove is actually h.263 video (not h.264) so you will have to resave it as iPod compatible.

Anyway... maybe someone can help you if you don't have a Mac.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.
