An inevitable comparison between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Curious that there's almost no philanthropic legacy associated with Jobs. . .Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.Tags: None -

Re: An inevitable comparisons between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
I dina give a hoot about Jobs.. FLOSS is my choice, but the characterization of the humbleness, tolerance & coding abilities of Bill Gates is pure bunk. He is a greedy, conniving, thieving, poor coding & at times, rampaging businessman living large by the creative (read - border line illegal) application of restrictive legislation & lawyering. He (& M.S.) stole more than they created.. paid small fines/buy offs after the fact, & continued on their merry way, trampling all others in their desire for a complete monopoly.. M.S. even 'forced' Jobs to make a change in hardware to allow Gates' dream of DRM to prevail system wide.
Nice Guy? I think not.
Of course, as they say.. "If you get a reputation as an early riser, you can sleep till noon".. His reputation, tho widely believed, is undeserved.
How's _that_ for a !fan boy! ;-)

Compari - SON!! SINGULAR! No matter HOW many of the exemplars you may wish to induce, the CUMULATIVE comparison is a SINGULAR comparison!
(And you are to no-one's surprise) a "singular" personage!)
For your pennance (Note: NOT Pinnace!) go steal three bottles (pref. 1.75ML) of Black Seal and bring them to a central location at WBS this year.
