Gates suffers technical glitches at CES keynote

During his annual keynote speech at the 2005 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates suffered technical glitches thanks to his Windows operating system. "During a demonstration of digital photography with a soon-to-be-released Nikon camera, a Windows Media Center PC froze and wouldn't respond to Gates' pushing of the remote control. Later in the 90-minute presentation, a product manager demonstrated the ostensible user-friendliness of a video game expected to hit retail stores in April, Forza Motor Sport. But instead of configuring a custom-designed race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded 'blue screen of death' and warned, 'out of system memory.'"

Retro Wrestling From WWE WrestleFest
The nostalgist in me is convinced that the WWE (or WWF as it was known back then) was at its finest during the 1990s.

Now, people like me get to relive those days through the latest wrestling game to come from THQ... | Read more »
