Jeff Bezos as heckler
Frank Catalano wrote an interesting roundup of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Nebula Awards, held this past weekend in Seattle. (Link via Anita Rowland.) Among the anecdotes Catalano tells:
Rick Rashid, senior vice president of Microsoft Research, while giving the keynote speech on previous visions of the future, had a display problem that required him to re-start his laptop. While the audience waited ... and waited ... a lone voice, belonging to Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, shouted out from the audience, "It's nice to see that Windows doesn't boot up any faster for you."
