TAG RESULTS FOR: Bill Gates

Awhile back I heard a myth that the Gates family patriarch banned Apple products from his home. Since I had never seen proof of any sort of Apple ban, I put the idea aside as some sort of sick rumor sliced together by a bunch of Apple vs. Microsoft rival enthusiasts. And then I saw this interview, which paints Melinda Gates, wife of Bill Gates, as the Soup Nazi of the Apple universe and my faith in humanity was shattered.... Continue reading

And he has made it a point to follow Ashley Tisdale. O. M. G. He just can’t get enough of her. Welcome to 2007, Bill. Glad you finally made it. The one thing that is positive about this move is his charity work is sure to get a hell of a lot more promotion, which is always a good thing. I love you for that, Mr. Gates, I’ve gotta admit it. Now we need El Jobso to join for some... Continue reading

Oh quit crying, you two. You have enough money to wipe your asses with $100 bills for the rest of your natural born life. In a recent interview with Vogue, Melinda Gates stated that she keeps iPhones and iPods out of the hands of her children. The direct quote sez: “…there are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. but ipods and iphones are two things we don’t get for our kids.” So is this... Continue reading

So the TED conferences and talks are in full effect. Imagine you were there. What’s the shittiest thing you could do to an audience listening patiently to every word you have to say? OK, so whatever you thought of, you’ll need to double it because Bill Gates pissed everyone off the other day. How so? By releasing a jar of about 10 mosquitoes inside the conference hall and letting them go after attendees. Why do such a thing? Gates was... Continue reading

If you were one of three people on the planet who enjoyed the Jerry Seinfeld ads from Microsoft, I’ve got some bad news: Microsoft is moving to “phase two” of its ad campaign. That means no more Jerry, no more churros and no more of Gates doing the robot. The next phase of Microsoft’s plan is to crack counter shots back at Apple by specifically targeting its ads which have propelled the Apple Windows feud in the first place. Bill... Continue reading

When $300 million dollars is spent on advertisements involving Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates shopping for shoes, it makes me think, “What’s this got to do with Microsoft?” Well, Microsoft wants you to know that it’s more hip than Apple. The two things that make Jerry Seinfeld cool in this video: 1. He’s eating a churro. 2. He showers in his clothes in the morning, “You’re dressed, then you’re clean. Open the door, go about your business.” The sad thing... Continue reading

Microsoft no longer wants to sit idly by as Apple’s advertising campaign bashes it, making it look like an old geezer in front of all those hipsters who watch TV. Everything about Microsoft’s $300 million advertising campaign has been quite ‘hush hush’, that is until now. “They are not seen as cool,” says Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, a New York branding firm. “Apple is cool. Can anyone even recall a Microsoft ad? No.” So, Microsoft recruited Jerry Seinfeld... Continue reading
