WWW- Just as you’ve finished replacing your VHS porno tape collection with all those brand new spiffy DVD’s, Microsoft’s founder, Bill Gates in an interview with the German newspaper Bild is predicting that DVD’s will be obsolete in 10 years at the latest. It figures.

The reason for this said Gates, who can afford to replace his DVD collection on whim: “These things can scratch or simply get lost.”

Well, no shit, Bill I just got a freakin’ copy of Jaws for $7.50 on sale from Target that keeps replaying Murray Hamilton’s obnoxious sports coats. Gates, who looks the way Hamilton dresses in Jaws, was also asked what home entertainment would be like in the future. According to Gates, “DVD technology would be obsolete in 10 years at the latest. If you consider that nowadays we have to carry around film and music on little silver discs and stick them in the computer, it’s ridiculous.”

“TV will simply show what we want to see, when we want to see it. When we get home, the home computer will know who we are from our voice or our face,” Gates continued to say. “It will know what we want to watch, our favorite programs, or what the kids shouldn’t be allowed to see.”

Gates on mobile phones: “With cell phones, we will be able to read bar codes to retrieve information about a certain product. With a camera phone we will be able to translate a restaurant menu in a foreign country.”
