Step right up, Craig Jones, winner of last week's caption competition. Making fun of other people is funny. Ish.

The Gates/Jobs interview is just getting started in San Diego, and the official D5 blog has live coverage here. The video clip below is what they kicked off with.

Does everyone find this rather exciting or is it just me? I am a bit disappointed they didn't open with that "Hi, I'm a Mac" / "And I'm a PC" gag, though, so here's an embarrasing quote from each of them instead:

"To create a new standard, it takes something that's not just a little bit different, it takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination and the Macintosh, of all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard."--Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 1984

"If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth - and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago."--Apple CEO Steve Jobs, 1996
