The Quotable Bill Gates

15 Jul 2009

The two best quotes from Ina Fried's interview with Bill Gates today:

  • On advanced science: "That's right. We're going to make the cows that don't fart. You name it, we've got it under control."
  • On Google and his deep understanding of FUD: "[T]he more vague they are, the more interesting it is."

Once you're done reading that, enjoy a wonderful thing Gates has done: Posting full-length, annotated videos of Richard Feynman's best lectures.

But to see the Feynman lectures you have to install Silverlight! That will pollute my MS-free Mac. Maybe I can find the lectures on iTunes.
