### Bill Gates Visionary Track Record, Microsoft Internet History

- **Episode:** [1451: Texas Balls](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1451-texas-balls.md)
- **Published:** 2022-05-15
- **Time:** 2:46:23–2:51:29
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1451-texas-balls/chapter/bill-gates-visionary-track-record-microsoft-internet-history.md

The hosts critique Bill Gates' reputation as a visionary, noting that his 1995 book "The Road Ahead" initially failed to mention the internet. An anecdote describes a 1990s consulting gig at Microsoft where the company struggled to understand web architecture, eventually requiring outside help to run MSNBC's chat rooms on Linux. The segment concludes that Gates' current pandemic predictions are similarly flawed.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky delivered an emotional plea during a White House briefing, citing a recurring feeling of "impending doom" regarding a potential fourth wave of COVID-19. Critics noted that despite her claim of "losing the script," she appeared to continue reading from a teleprompter. The speech utilized anecdotes about ventilators and morgue trucks to encourage the public to maintain restrictions for a "little while longer."

### Microsoft Windows and the History of Automatic Updates

- **Episode:** [1147: OTARD](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1147-otard.md)
- **Published:** 2019-06-20
- **Time:** 24:50–27:04
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1147-otard/chapter/microsoft-windows-and-the-history-of-automatic-updates.md

The history of automatic software updates is traced back to Microsoft's jealousy of AOL's ability to force version parity across its user base. Microsoft's desire for a uniform environment led to the development of Patch Tuesday and the current Windows update model. There is a standing prediction that a single flawed global Windows patch will eventually cause a worldwide technological collapse.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/737-sculley-and-heil/chapter/apple-strategy-eworld-and-the-information-utility-era.md

The host questions Sculley about Apple's missed opportunity to corner the internet market in the early 1990s. They discuss the era of "information utilities" like AOL, MSN, and Apple's eWorld, which preceded the open web. The host suggests these services were a regressive model compared to the browser-based internet that eventually emerged with Mosaic and Netscape.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/693-kunzite/chapter/vladimir-putin-asperger-s-syndrome-pentagon-study.md

A Pentagon-backed study claiming Vladimir Putin has Asperger's Syndrome is dismissed by the hosts as a "bogus" psychological operation. They point out that the researchers admitted they could not prove the theory without a brain scan and are basing their findings solely on facial expressions.

### Bruce Jenner, Vasectomy Aesthetics and 1920s Eugenics

- **Published:** 2013-11-14

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/565-spy-in-a-bag/chapter/bruce-jenner-vasectomy-aesthetics-and-1920s-eugenics.md

A discussion of tabloid news on MSN.com leads to a theory about Bruce Jenner's physical appearance. John C. Dvorak references a 1920s book, "Look Young Forever," which promoted vasectomies as a way to maintain a youthful, "smooth" facial look. The hosts speculate that the "doughy" look associated with the procedure is visible in certain public figures.
