May 30th, 2007 marks the first time that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have shared the stage together in over 20 years. The occasion was the D5 Conference held at the Four Seasons Resort Aviara in Carlsbad by D: All Things Digital. Here is the highlight reel of the interview hosted by Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.

Update (2007.06.02): Epileptic Gaming will be covering the Blizzard US Regional Finals for Warcraft 3 LIVE this weekend so check them out.
We build a custom Stickam player widget for our friends over at Epileptic Gaming. Epileptic Gaming is a live internet show focusing on video games and the gaming culture. They do a great show so if you are into gaming you should definitely check them out. The show airs LIVE every weekday at 7:00 PM Eastern / 4:00 PM Pacific.
Epileptic Gaming utilizes Stickam to do the live video broadcast and chat sessions. We have wrapped the Stickam player in our own custom widget. The custom widget displays the Epileptic Gaming player by default and their list of Stickam friends. If the show is LIVE, the player will auto start. To open the full video chat room, click on “enter chat”. You can check out their friends if you like. Friends who are LIVE on Stickam will have a webcam icon next to their name.
The widget also helps promote CAGcast, another gaming show.
If you like the show and would like to spread the word, click the “i” icon to get the code for the widget.
Currently playing is Critical Hit, “a weekly panelist show where leading members of the industry will get together for honest, frank discussions about the inner workings of the gaming industry and gaming communities.” Critical Hit airs Fridays at 2:30 PM Pacific (on the EG account) before the Epileptic Gaming show.
[update (05/28/2008) - widget removed and discontinued due to lack of Stickam API support]
Saw this over at TechCrunch from a couple of days ago. Not widgets related but very interesting none-the-less. Microsoft announced Microsoft Surface, a multi-touch surface computing platform. Users interact with the surface computer through touch, gestures and physical objects placed on the surface.
While touch screens and surface interactions is nothing new, Microsoft has prototyped a package that looks great. See the embedded video below for the demo. The applications can be limitless; table tops, walls, counters, photos, videos, remote controls, maps, menus etc…
Microsoft is looking to release this for initial commercial partners as early as late 2007.
