Thanks! Now I know what to get my daughter for her birthday next fall. Using her iPhone in Minneapolis has been painful for her this winter.

Gates bought a substantial share of Apple stock years ago, this is a dumb PR stunt released to the media.

Microsoft bought $150 million of restricted Apple Preferred Stock in 1997... and sold it at a profit about three years later, after the restriction was lifted. The stock purchase was part of a lawsuit settlement that Microsoft essentially LOST.

This is strictly a "Dog Bites Man" story. I had a friend whose dad, a Scott Paper exec, went ballistic when he found Kleenex instead of Scott's tissue boxes in my friend's apartment.

Gates may have also banned BlackBerrys

Speaking of Crackberrys, anybody remember when the iPhone was first released so long ago and all the Crackberry users were maligning the iPhone touchscreen?

Haven't heard anything out of them since all the new Crackberrys look like iPhone clones................

I’m sure my kids would give up their iPods to be billionaires, too.

Well, so far they appear to not be reporting any for the MP3 players.
