Interesting article; but, as it also points out, the RECORD doesn't
necessarily tell the whole story, since those with bad/evil images are
the ones who need to make PUBLIC their good deeds in order to attempt
to "fix" things, much as the philandering spouse who unexpectedly
brings home roses for his wife is often an indication of his having
done her wrong. Guilt creates all sorts of "good deed doers"
attempting to balance the scales of justice. IMHO!

Jim, I love it. Of course, I love all sorts of conspiracy theories -

initially, he would have deserved such treatment. (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."
