Giant Bill Gates Apparition Haunts Malaysia Conference
A day after Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was pelted with eggs by an angry audience member during a speech in Hungary, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates was completely relaxed as he spoke to attendees at the World Congress on Information Technology in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

That's because Gates' appearance was virtual, made possible not only by the magic of software, but also the magic of holographic technology.
According to Malaysian newspaper The Star, a 15-foot tall, high definition holographic image of Gates was projected onto a plastic foil screen at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, much to the amazement of several thousand conference attendees who witnessed the event.

Gates' five minute speech, recorded two weeks ago in Seattle, centered on how the growth of computing power is opening up opportunities for developing nations, and also emphasized the importance of fighting software piracy worldwide, according to a report in the New Straits Times.
Could it be that Microsoft has decided that holographic technology can be leveraged to prevent its top executives from being hit with pies and eggs during public appearances?

In February 1998, Gates was hit in the face with a cream pie outside a Flemish government building in Flanders in northern Belgium, on his way to a meeting Belgian government officials.
No word from Microsoft as to whether Ballmer might decide to deliver his next keynote holographically.

Why? I won't be surprised with that. Reliance is crap anyway.

By the way, in my view, the attack was not fair. On a second thought, I won't say that when it is with Steve Ballmer.

Actually all the three eggs missed.
Seems like the either monkey dancing paid off for Ballmer or Hungarians are really lousy at target practice!
To a certain extent the egg part was uncalled for. It would have been better if the guy after speaking to Ballmer should have made him reply to his accusations. Throwing eggs gave Ballmer a certain degree of moral protection.

@praka: wou easy on the links bro. There is already a lot of colored text in the forums.

Dude, it was obviously a joke.

Yeah, the guy was nervous and scared. He probably did it on a dare or something.

Either way, it was a stupid thing to do. It might be entertaining for the viewers and you might get your fifteen seconds of fame, but you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?

Yeah! Well the strange part is

1. Wasnt there a security check earlier of the students. What if someone carried a gun ?
2. When he was throwing eggs, there were no security guards coming front ?
3. After he was finished, he himself left. Had this been India, 10-15 Fatty policemen would have come shouting "teri oye! bhen dii.........."
