(smile) No arguing Gates has pulled some stunts in the past, but he certainly seems focused on improving his legacy. Witness his truly philanthropic change of identiy where through his foundation he's already given close to $2 billion to schools here in the US. And that doesn't even cover his international work. And this quote on art technica comparing him with Jobs. "Gates is giving away his fortune with the same gusto he spent acquiring it, throwing billions of dollars at solving global health problems. He has also spoken out on major policy issues, for example, by opposing proposals to cut back the inheritance tax. In contrast, Jobs does not appear on any charitable contribution lists of note. And Jobs has said nary a word on behalf of important social issues, reserving his talents of persuasion for selling Apple products." Not to mention this interesting article on Jobs vs Gates at wired: http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mac/commentary/cultofmac/2006/01/70072 Furthermore, after the iPhone proprietary SDK was released, this was found on the popular Engadget blog: "Who would of thought that after the 1984 Apple Superbowl commercial, that Apple would become the big talking head and we'd become the little guy standing up against Steve's draconian rule." _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
