Big difference in dead batteries causing a remote to fail and software that is so buggy one considers it a good day when something doesn't go wrong. However, we all love to see CEO's go down at a marketing event (unless of course it happens to be you or your boss using your gear!!)
Love the hubris bug, too. But I agree with Gates that
cheap digital is the tsunami of tech.
If he'd been savvy (not just smart), he would have turned
his ''wardrobe/machine malfunction'' into a positive, saying
how he identifies with the common guy.
