>> Hi. I'm Molly Wood and welcome to the Buzz Report. This week Bill Gates is leaving. Microsoft is sniffing around Yahoo again and all I can hear in my head is the sweet, sweet voice of the Kitt car. Let's jump right with the Gadget of the Week. Now, last week, I promised you some awesome and this week, here it is. The Mio Knight Rider GPS. Yes, I said Knight Rider. It's a special edition GPS Navigation unit that speaks to the dulcet tones of the Kitt car. Take a listen.

>> Debrah, where would you like to go today?

>> So, it uses the original voice of William Daniels as Kitt and Kitt will give you voice-guided direction. It will tell you where to go. [Background music] And it'll tell you lots of great things. [ Background Music ]

>> I'll cover up all systems, so very good to see you.

>> Yes, the only problem is that no woman can ever buy this GPS device. We'll be so dazed and seduced that will drive right off the road. That Kitt car is a lady killer. And now for the news. Unbelievably, Microsoft maybe sniffing around that Yahoo honey pot, again. ^M00:01:20 [ Music ] ^M00:01:25

>> An anonymous investor told news.com that Microsoft was willing to sweeten its offer for Yahoo and Yahoo's Board Members have said they're open to it and then there's all this drama with people leaving Yahoo in a half in seriously I'm talking to you VH1. Can you get this turn in to a reality show somehow, because this would be a lot more fun to cover if it has like Bret Michaels in a pool and a bunch of boos and some stripper poles.

>> This week the California Judge closed a hearing between Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg and the former Harvard classmate to claim that he stole their idea and built his Facebook billions. The closed hearing was unusual because, no one asked the Judge to close it and it's very rare for hearings like this to be closed to the public. Some have speculated that the closure is to protect some instant messaging logs that were recently discovered on Zuckerberg's computer. But come on. The dude is like 23. He was in college when he wrote this stuff. It can't be that bad. Oh look, a little bird drops the file with the instant message logs on my desk. Let's have a look.

>> So hungover dude, RAGER last night. You get the chem answers? Can not stand Ken. College SUX!!!. Need 2 quit 4 sure. Baby come on. Come on over. I'm so hot 4 u rite now. Dude, u see the Connectu thing? Daddy like.

>> What? Those are totally real. Is that the last one? Smoking gun, right? And finally the big news of the week Friday June 27th was Bill Gates' last official day at Microsoft. He's moving onto other ventures like working part-time at Microsoft and saving the world from malaria. Now, everyone is taking a look back at their favorite moments with Bill, so I thought I would do the same. Here you go a Bill and Buzz retrospective. [ Background Music ]

>> I'm sorry to say that Windows Vista has already claimed its first victim.

>> Five million people downloaded it.

>> That's right. They--

>> So, in essence have stolen.

>> No, no, no, no [ Laughter ]

>> That's the Beta Version.

>> What is a Beta Version? Is that, will that, in anyway make them sterile? [ Laughter ]

>> How does the Beta Version work?

>> Oh no! Windows Vista crushed on Stewart. That was so awkward. Here in a special Buzz report interview is Mr. Bill Gates.

>> Thanks so much for coming in Bill. Now, Steve Ballmer is going around telling everyone that you're retiring? What's up with that?

>> I'm not leaving Microsoft.

>> Really? That's not really what I've heard.

>> I'm not leaving Microsoft.

>> Okay, wrong information. I got it. Well then, let's talk about some other things. How about your personal life? Obviously, Melinda, your wife is a huge impact on you. Tell us a little bit about how you wooed here.

>> Using the same approach as we use at Microsoft.

>> Okay. So, ruthlessly crushing the competition, got it. Apple is my bad boyfriend. Check it out. Here's Apple. He's like this crazy hot really good looking, bad boy, rebel type. He's got money, drive a fabulous car. We go to all his great parties together. He knows al the coolest people. He's like the guys I always wanted. But the longer we're together, it's kinda feel like he's kind of a jerk. I just think I have to start doing what's right for me and I'm gonna dump that jerk no matter how hot and rich is. Sometimes it's better to go with the ugly nice guy. [ Music ]

>> Oh, we're gonna miss you Bill. You were a great sport buddy and Ballmer scares the [unintelligible] out of me. We probably shouldn't have done that stripper thing. I'm Molly Wood and this has been the Buzz Report. Thanks for watching. ^M00:05:05 [ Music ]
