The best thing about this from my perspective is how well it captures Charlie Rose's style for trying to crack his guest's emotional makeup, get in under their skins. The brilliant absurdity of him getting under his own skin! Also gets us closer to the question of what Godot the tech industry is waiting for, and how much it does or does not have to do with Steve Jobs' pretty white computing devices.

Charlie Rose is a third grade interviewer who's been phoning it in for a loooooong time. The fact that he's still one of the better interviewers on TV is like saying Jeb Bush is the pick of the litter.

Good idea, but could have been executed better. Too much repetitions is like not enough. 2/5.

Microsoft, his arms wide. Yahoo, his eyes closed. Yahoo at court. The court of silence. Windows Vista, when the walls fell.
