February 4, 2009 7:42 PM Bill Gates released some mosquitoes into the audience, a musical group called Naturally 7 demonstrated the diversity of voice, and “Happy Birthday” was performed in a way that the recipient of the timeless tune will never forget. Just another day at TED, one of the premiere (and exclusive) gatherings of visionaries, luminaries and “extraordinaries.” It’s a place that really requires one to open one’s eyes, ears, and mind.

Bill Bows Out
After a week of taping the show I co-host for Discovery's Planet Green network (G Word, with me and SuChin Pak) I'm back in action here at CBS. But as I return to one job, Microsoft's co-founder Bill Gates is leaving his. Well, sort of. Friday is his last day as chief software architect, but he'll still remain chairman of the board and the company's largest shareholder. Plus, I'm sure he'll keep Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) on speed dial.

It was a joy listening to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer reminisce about the past as they sat on stage at the Wall Street Journal’s “All Things Digital Conference” in Carlsbad, California Tuesday night. Responding to questions from conference co-hosts Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, the two talked about the early days at Microsoft, their early worries about running out of money and their 28 year long working relationship at Microsoft.

For the first time since 1983, Microsoft co-founder and Apple co-founder Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were together on the same stage at the same time.
Some people expected fireworks at this historic meeting which took place Wednesday night at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital Conference in Carlsbad, California, but it was more of a love fest, writes Larry Magid.

I was tempted to open this blog with a clever quote about technology or about introductions in general, maybe something from Einstein or Wilde or Marconi, but then I thought the best way to introduce myself is simply to say, “Hey there, fellow tech talker.”
I’m the new science and technology correspondent at CBS News, and I’d like this blog to be a transparent dialogue of ideas and opinions. I’ve spent the last 15 years covering science and technology in some form, working for places like The Vancouver Sun, CTV, and CNN. For more you can just click here. But in all my years of being plugged into the digital world I’ve never maintained a blog, so I hope I can do justice to this one.
