Somehow I doubt the people who were selling machines to the Nazis also invented the IBM PC. I'm not saying it should be forgotten, but with your attitude we might as well condemn the entire human race. Let's not forget the US turned away Germany's expelled people before they were killed, and various other tidbits we should probably not be getting into on a gadget blog.]]>Jun 27th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/

Every other post is about Bill freakin Gates.

Why don't you rename Engadget "BillGatesgadget"????

Oh right....because people actually do care about Bill Gates and what happens to him actually does have an effect on the gadget-minded people who read Engadget.

Seems kinda of sill when it is the other way around for a change.

Now...substitute iPhone everywhere you see Bill Gates, and hmm...still makes sense..

Just for the record...I would like all comments like the ones further up in mine to disappear forever.

It is amazing what a part of popular culture he has become. He can now turn his prowess to philanthrophy and give back to the world what Microsoft took.

Instead of innovating, Microsoft has ripped off developers and stifled the innovators by introducing vaporware, inducing Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Microsoft is more interested in ideas than ideals, or principles.

Bill Gates is The Devil Incarnate.

I feel better now, knowing he's gone.

(my above writings were sarcasm)

Welcome to capitalism, people take other peoples ideas and try to make them better, every company does it and every company has it's fair share of ideas (including Microsoft). What I find funny is how often people throw rocks at Microsoft for doing it while cuddling their little copy machine Apple, and every other electronics manufacturer.]]>Jun 27th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/
I don't like how MS runs their business, because they don't innovate. They buy out other people's ideas or just steal them outright. These days a lot of that is Ballmer's fault though, and I still have a lot of respect for Gates because of what he does with his foundation. He deserves everybody's respect for that. He could literally do anything he wants with that much money, and he uses it to help people. That is the definition of admirable, even more so now that he's devoting all his time to it.]]>Jun 27th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/its people like you who do not respect technology, their creators and what they do...MS has given so much to the industry and to the world and you say they dont innovate

why do you think it is such a huge corp...just by stealing ideas...huh...grow up Zak

you respect Bill Gates just because he does charity work??

who would you respect for technology??? steve jobs??? a guy who was thrown out of a company which he himself founded...what do you think his ideas were original and was he capable enough to do what Bill has done

you dont like how MS runs their business...what are you a fuckin billionaire or a tycoon?? this man has made the largest software company just by stealing ideas....and thats how he became the richest man in the world and remained on top for over a decade??

are you trying to say that Bill Gates has done nothing in bringing a computer to almost everyone...its all stolen ideas...FUCK YOU!!!]]>Jun 27th 2008 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/dont believe me Zak??? check the following link:

That's just some stuff at the top of my head. Most of these things, are what Microsoft has done first, before Apple copied and added some glitz and effects. If any are wrong, please feel free to refute me.

Not that Microsoft doesn't copy. Every company probably "copies" something. Sometimes it's even better. ]]>Jun 27th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/the-bill-gates-engadgethology/
