Yesterday at D5 Conference both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were interviewed. This hasn’t happened for a while, and its worth seeing.

You can watch the highlight of the interview here:

For those interested in watching the full interview (Over an hour. I recommend), visit the website here.

Also, at Wired, Leander Kahney wrote an article about who’s the star between this very popular guys: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. It’s an interested twist about how Bill Gates is giving is billions to improve the world, when Steve Jobs is the one “taking on the role of single-minded capitalist”.

Although this is more of a technology and programming blog, it is also my personal blog.

One of my main hobbies is watching tv series… hundreds of them.

As so, I would like to share this story with you all… at least to those that ain’t heard of it before.

CBS series ‘Jericho’ was a great canceled several weeks ago (9 May). The show was promising, revolving around the residents of a town called ‘Jericho’ after a series of nuclear attacks on major cities in the United States.

After the cancellation, the shocked fans quickly banded together, many using CBS’ own public “Jericho” discussion forum, and began brainstorming on ways to convince the network to bring back the show for a second season. A plot point in the final episode of “Jericho” involving the expletive “Nuts!” (in reference to an historic conversation between generals) was turned into a campaign to send large quantities of nuts to CBS’ NY, LA, and affiliate offices. Fans have sent a total of $26,000 for a pooled campaign hosted at Nuts Online to ship over 19,000 (9.5 tons) pounds of peanuts to CBS.

Slashdot also presented recently a post on the subject.
