Bill Gates, fellatio and media, and how all three relate to a profile of Gates

Ok so this is not related to computer hardware directly but today I caught myself asking the question. "Where is that video showing Bill Gates saying that 640k would be enough for anyone?" A quick google search returned a variety of sites quoting the quote and all of them were pointing at this article at wired.
Earlier this week, in a column on Bill Gates, fellatio and media, and how all three relate to a profile of Gates in last week's Time magazine, this column daringly offered free software into the millennium to anyone who remembers one thing Bill Gates ever said. We were taking issue with the notion advanced in the magazine that Mr. Gates is shaping this or the next century as a visionary leader, as opposed to just selling lots of software.
Within minutes of the column's postings, the first challengers had emailed, all offering the same quote.
"I've got one for you," messaged a hacker from Cambridge. "Some years back, Gates said '640K is more memory than anyone will ever need.' Where do I pick up my software?"
So I am guessing the video I saw was a fake or as the FBI says when they want to cover up the truth. "I must have mis remembered". Either way the wired article is hella funny and the quotes at the end are to die for.
