That's Bill Gates. While cohort Steve Ballmer was being <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/steve-ballmer-dodges-eggs-at-hungarian-university/">pelted with eggs by angry Hungarians</A>, Microsoft Chairman Gates was making a virtual appearance at the World Congress on Information Technology 2008 in Kuala Lumpur. The crowd cheered -- or screamed in terror -- as the giant 4.6-meter holographic specter assured them that technology is, in fact, the future. Said the chairman, "There are one billion people who have a personal computer each but there are five billion others who don't. Microsoft also wants to reach these people." We're hoping that Bill has recorded several hundred holographic speeches and will continue to grace conventions' presences for years, and years, and years to come.</DIV><BR />[Thanks, alma]</DIV><DIV class="postmeta"><UL class="postnav"><LI class="readlink"><A href="http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/20/nation/21301084&sec=nation" class="related-link"><STRONG>Read</STRONG></A> <A title="Open in a new window" and="" target="_blank" class="icon" href="http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/5/20/nation/21301084&sec=nation"><IMG src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/icon-external.gif" /></A></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A title="Permanent link to this entry" rel="bookmark" href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/holographic-bill-gates-terrorizes-kuala-lumpur-tech-conference/">Permalink</A></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A title="Send this entry to a friend via email" href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1200475/">Email this</A></LI><LI class="commentslink"><A title="View reader comments on this entry" href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/holographic-bill-gates-terrorizes-kuala-lumpur-tech-conference/#comments">65 Comments</A></LI></UL><P class="filed-under"><STRONG>Filed under:</STRONG> <A href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/">Displays</A></P><P class="posttags"><STRONG>Tags:</STRONG> <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/bill+gates/">bill gates</A>, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/BillGates/">BillGates</A>, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hologram/">hologram</A>, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/holograms/">holograms</A>, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/microsoft/">microsoft</A></P></DIV><DIV class="quigoads"><FORM target="" action="" method="get" name="qas_dfp_frm" id="qas_dfp_frm"><INPUT type="hidden" value="" name="ie52_mac_only" /></FORM></DIV></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/14071D55-F2B3-46C9-B53F-5E047E6916F8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
