In Robert X. Cringley's book, Accidental Empires, there is a story of Gate's fumbling through his wallet at a mini-mart looking for a coupon for a pint of ice cream. Finally, the teller is so annoyed he pays for the difference in price to get the line moving.

Gizmodo didn't find this clip. It was on yahoo front page 2-3 weeks ago. Also, it may be an old footage.

The smartest guy in the video: the "bum" asking for change.

Does Charley Rose work for 60-Minutes now?

I'm glad people are keeping up with the "important" things happening in the MSM so I don't have to.

I doubt it's just the bums who ask him if he has some change.

Yeah, let's all forget he's given away more money than anyone in the history of the world.

If I had a trillion dolllars i wouldn't give money to a bum.

Steve Jobs probably would have had his PR people go out and rough up the homeless guy before escorting him down the street. Seriously, would you give some guy change when he knocks on the window while you're eating?
