Bill Gates touted the promise of a connected world and offered new ways to deal with its darker realities during his annual Comdex keynote speech last night. The Microsoft chairman outlined his vision for "seamless computing," the idea of creating new connections among pieces of information spread across different computers, programs and devices. Examples include a Microsoft research project that lets people easily retrieve any file they've ever viewed on a computer, no matter the program.
