I like english muffins.

Superstar90 @ Jan 6th 2008 9:26PM

Cesaria @ Jan 6th 2008 9:33PM

Only when toasted. And with copious amounts of butter.

Wubbytoes @ Jan 6th 2008 9:36PM

Cream cheese is even better.

I'm gonna have to say Giant Enemy Crab spread is the best...

MASSIVE DAMAGE TO YOUR HUNGER

Ditto on the English muffins...

Why is it Bill Gates last CES keynote?

Also, I just watched Pirates of Silicon Valley (about a week ago), what did you guys think of it?

Magetto @ Jan 6th 2008 9:44PM

He's retiring from his position at Microsoft.

Raikage (Wii FC 5508 0487 4434 0992) @ Jan 6th 2008 9:46PM

So he's done? Or is he just gonna do something else in the company?

Magetto @ Jan 6th 2008 9:48PM

I think he's completely retiring from the company.

Raikage (Wii FC 5508 0487 4434 0992) @ Jan 6th 2008 9:52PM

Age 52 with 59 Billion dollars... not bad... not bad at all...

David @ Jan 6th 2008 10:20PM

PotSV was pretty good. I loved the music.

Adam @ Jan 6th 2008 9:26PM

If they licence the 360 platform to other manufacturers it could be a milestone for the industry - a massive step forward for a potentially unified platform. Exciting!
Might work a bit better than the 3DO…

this is bill gates last keynote because he is retiring as CEO of Microsoft. does anyone know if they are gonna have this on xbox live?

Orionsaint @ Jan 6th 2008 9:52PM

His announcement could change the world

Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jan 6th 2008 10:03PM

or DESTROY IT.

He'll probably announce the advent of SKYNET*

(*=Run by Windows Vista)

David @ Jan 6th 2008 10:21PM

If it's ran with Vista, I'm not that worried.

todzilla @ Jan 6th 2008 11:59PM

nice terminator reference hashbrown

Maurice M @ Jan 6th 2008 9:56PM

It never fails, I always get excited when there are keynotes!

Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jan 6th 2008 9:59PM

Me too. Hell even the Casio one got me pumped!

DeltaP42 @ Jan 6th 2008 10:01PM

The Microsoft keynote speech uses Sony Vaio laptops.... is that weird?

Raikage (Wii FC 5508 0487 4434 0992) @ Jan 6th 2008 10:03PM

They should be Macs...

cheese @ Jan 6th 2008 10:02PM

ABC/Disney/MGM will have videos on XBL

Also XBL has reached 10 million users, 6 months before they planned...

Not bad...

cheese @ Jan 6th 2008 10:40PM

wow, that was pretty lame

jynxycat @ Jan 6th 2008 10:51PM

It's CES, not E3. What did you expect from them ? -_-

cheese @ Jan 7th 2008 1:40AM

It was lame in the sense I expected more. It was more funny than anything. Most of the info was sort of "pie-in-the-sky" stuff that may or may not make it into devices. I'm not sure I care for ubiquitous photo-recognition in every device either.
