Off-topic, but I have to...

(From the photo caption) "Bill ... with his iphone prototype"

Nope. That's a Sony Magic Link, built by Bill (and others, myself included) during his time at General Magic. I feel General Magic is another one of Bill's endeavors that isn't widely understood or appreciated.

I worked for a time with a dude who was absolutely over the moon with his magic link. He got it in a way that I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Yes, he carried it everywhere. Yes, he used it during his job interview. Yes, it helped.
