Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof

Posted by simoniker on from the he-knows-kung-fu dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Eweek, Bill Gates' keynote speech at this year's Comdex showed Microsoft's 'focus on security, spam and [the] tablet PC', including a new version of its Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, an extension of the SmartScreen Technology for spam prevention, and the next version of the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system. But the showstopper was a filmed spoof of The Matrix (screencaps available here), with Gates and Steve Ballmer as Morpheus and Neo respectively, and including a jab at Linux."

  2. Gates is making fun of ME!!! We know that means... by 3seas · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The following is from a post regaring a Sophia Stewart claiming she wrote the script. A lawsuit is supposedly under way....

    But then there is Myself ---- Should I be honored that Bill Gates is making fun of me?

    Sorry about the lack of html'in the links -- copy and paste...

    Here I am, knowing the wachowskis very probably (I could say I know.. but...) did get inspiration from me and my work online, mostly in usenet. Where I can show a ton more date timed stamped connections than Sophia, based on what has been shown regarding her work..

    Anyone can go to the copyright office web site and plug in her copyright numbers and it they will come up, be found. But unlike the patent office, you cannot access the copy online.

    Likewise anyone can go to google and search on me and see, for themselves....

    There are things in the trilogy which are references to real life event and things.

    So many people have stated the wachowskis stole their work.

    That is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that they used real life people, events and things for inspiration in creating the semi-fictional work they did. This does not exclude referencing creative works of others, being inspired by such works of others.

    I.E. Neo: The Trinity, the one who cracked the IRS dbase? I thought you were a guy. Trinity: Most guys do.

    Believe it, it is a real life event reference.

    As to the thinking Sue was Frank Wallace..

    One of the messages by me contains:
    "... For myself it is doing so thru computers, but there are efforts of others as well and in other ways, such as addressing the many facets or perspective of government, religion, science, philosophy, humainty, etc... Changes that really began in our lifetime and are picking up speed to easily reach the goals in our lifetime. The current investigation of IRS abuse is in fact directly related to IRS Abuse this man received due the work. In team-work, whether knowledgable of each other or not, but supporting the same general goal, evey bit helps."

    I was mistaken, It wasn't Frank Wallace.

    Look at the dates of those usenet posts!!!!!

    There is plenty. The Wachowskis even wrote themselves into Reloaded. They are the twins, and they are Neo-cheating. However, what color of hat they are wearing is in question. White or Black (then there is the semi-truck headon crash...)

    Oh yeah, an about the crew members of the Nebachadnezzar, they too, each represent something in the real world, and its all around you too..

    If you want to get a date on that, just google groups and you can find a date, but I identified them in early 1988.. Here's some history.

    And if you don't believe the date, then just look for my earliest usenet post... but there are other archives that go back further.

    Oh yeah, the "Gotcha" Its literal in meaning... go to the source of the html...

    Usenet is a government building BTW, and so is the USPTO and nobody had ever done what I was doing in using usenet date time stamping to establish prior art.

    Ok so the date of that comment is after the first movie camre out.... a matter of the opportuinity to persent itself to be ......published by the USPTO themselves.

    What else??? Oh yeah...
