Wincent Colaiuta on Gates' deposition videos

It's astonishing to see Gates, surely an individual of well above average intelligence, petulantly throw up obstacle after obstacle in the path of David Boies (the attorney asking the questions), stalling, dodging questions, offering implausible explanations, claiming not to remember anything, bickering over the meaning of common words, and the really puzzling bit: doing all this as though he actually thought it would help his case. Of course it didn't; Microsoft was found guilty of repeatedly illegally abusing its monopoly position and the judge ordered that the company be split up. It's a shame that with the change of government in 2000 Microsoft wriggled off the hook.

As with many things that are only a few years old, I mistakenly assumed everyone knew about and remembered all this. But if you don't, at least read the fun transcript.
