iPhone Is Banned in Bill Gates, Refuses To Buy Kids Anything Apple

[Acronym]

You did not just say that?!

actualy I did say that and I stand by it.

You may be right.
I know it was a pretty obscene amount given that they were "competitors".
I know MS did it to avoid some anti-trust litigation.

No, no, no, no, no.

Wonder if they have to use a zune or they can use another competitor other than apples offering. If I had a 0.1% of there wealth I would be tempted by Archos's offerings.

Is it worthy of the FAIL to point out that you attributed the quote to the wrong person? It was said by Melinda Gates....

From what I read that quote was from Melinda Gates....

Oh oops I didn't read the whole article. The full quote:

“They go to parks, have playdates and sleep-overs. Melinda is fierce about this. There will be no bubble for them; these children will not turn out to be Paris Hilton.” Still, being a Microsoft child does carry unusual burdens. “There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household,” Gates tells me. “But iPods and iPhones are two things we don’t get for our kids.” Harsh, perhaps, but understandable. After all, it’s hard to walk around tethered to merchandise made by your father’s most famous competitor. Still, Gates acknowledges the inevitable lure of forbidden fruit. “Every now and then I look at my friends and say, ‘Ooh, I wouldn’t mind having that iPhone.’

Cos of the reference to Melinda, I thought it was Bill speaking. Turns out it was her brother speaking in the first part, and Melinda speaking the second part. Wasn't clear. I'll change my sig later, it's bed time now.

Edit: Sig now changed. For bitchy win, see below:
