This rare picture of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in conversation at the 2005 D3 conference gives us an opportunity to present the first MacUser Caption-a-thon.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates

Bill: I love that scene in Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom, you know, when he pulls the heart out of the guy? I’m thinking of trying it on Ballmer.
Steve: You might try crushing his head, like in those old kung fu movies.
-D.M.

What else might Steve and Bill be discussing? Add your own interpretation below.

Cyrus’ Update: There’s a few more here, here and here. The fellow with the goatee in the first one is Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal.

Steve: So, how do you do it?

Bill: Well, some of my buds at Microsoft created a patented hair-growing cream. It works so well, it's just like Windows!

Steve (thinking to himself): Hmmm, a toupee would make a great birthday gift.

Bill: Oh yea, you won't believe this one. My company is actually charging money for antivirus protection and getting security updates faster than other people. It's called windoze OneCare Live.

Steve: Nice, good thing we both use Macs

Sadly, for windoze users, it's true.

Steve: Yes, our new Apple time machine will allow for a person to jump a gap of time as far back as 1984.

Bill: Wow! Then I could go back to 1984 and steal THAT idea as well?

Steve: Umm, sure Bill, sure.
