A great article on Gates vs Jobs. Why is Gates the great Satan? He gives hundreds of millions for amazing causes. Jobs most public donation (via his wife) is giving money to a political party that would benefit his corporate interests. Jobs only seems to be interested in social issues if he can use them to sell more Macs or iPods.

Quote:
Rather, he uses social issues to support his own selfish business goals. In the Think Different campaign, Jobs used cultural figures he admired to sell computers -- figures who stuck their necks out to fight racism, poverty, inequality or war.


This is the iPod generation's hero?

Say what you want about Gates, but you have to admit that he a hell of a nice guy to devote so much time and energy to his causes. He could just donate a couple of million here or there. But instead he puts the work into finding out how his money should be best spent.

I was also watching a cool channel 9 documentary on the windows kernel engineers the other day. I didn't know that the head MS engineer is from the same city as me and went to my brothers university Shocked

I'm starting to dislike M$ a lot less lately. Sure they are unfair competitors and they're unhealthy for the industry - but at least they're engineers and excellent at what they do. Apple on the other hand never seem to make anything of their own anymore. The ipod was built on a hitachi mini-HD innovation and OSX is built on FreeBSD. It seems apple is just made up of marketing and advertising execs nowadays ... or in other words - corp. trash.
Behold apple are the new Microsoft ... Razz
