Honestly, banning anything is ridiculous...if the product wasn't any good or you had a good alternative then you would not need to ban things. I guess the fact the iPod and iPhone are "banned" tells me Melinda and family would rather have those versus a Zune or WinMo device. Microsoft should step up their game if they want to compete...]]>Mar 2nd 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/

Hmmmm, so which would be worse? Telling your wife that she is not allowed to have an iPhone, or forcing your daughter to live on welfare and telling a complete lie to cover it up so the rich daddy doesn't need to pay child support. If there were iPods or iPhones at the time, little Lisa's daddy would have kept her from getting one, being, you know, she was too freaking poor to afford one.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 3rd 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/
Rationalizing bad behavior by pointing out worse behavior gets people going on a slippery slope. The whole Jobs paternity thing was pretty bad and probably much worse than banning gadgets. I think it's telling of the iPhone/iPods competitors that they have to be "banned" IMO.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/
Trying to equate BG and SJ "bad behavior" is absurd. How can you believe that Bill saying "don't buy an iPhone" is the same as Steve abandoning his child, possibly letting the child go hungry homeless, etc and then making us, the average person pay for it (welfare through our taxes - hey Steve Jobs, thanks for stealing more money from my pocket and not reimbursing us even though now you are a multi-billionaire).

So I guess when I was a child and wanted a Commodore 128 but my parents would not buy it for me, that was the same kind of "abuse" as if they let me starve, put me out in the cold Ohio winters without clothing, etc? Are you that much an apologist for the Great Leader?]]>Mar 2nd 2009 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/Mar 2nd 2009 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/

That's pretty bad, but try to find a credible source. Wikipedia is nice, but it's not a valid source.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/
The fact that you think there is nothing wrong with Bill Gates ordering his wife not to own an iPhone, simply reinforces and emphasises your misogynistic attitude, and your inability to understand that wives and girlfriends are HUMAN BEINGS who are just as capable and smart as you are, and ARE NOT an inferior partner in realtionships. They do not require a man to tell them how to live life.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/

OK, little boy/girl. First off, you need to read what I said and laugh a little bit. Do you really think I need to tell somebody not to kick the dog? To not set fire to the house? I was doing it for dramatic effect. There is a rule about driving my cars, and that is because she drives a Smart, while I drive BMWs. The only time she did drive it, she was not used to the difference in power and size and put it in the ditch - not a reflection of her intelligence (she actually has a PHD in literature). She is one of the strongest women I have ever met, and if she were to read what I wrote, she would laugh about it. Finally, not everybody has a "Leave It To Beaver" type of relationship, some may be a little more "alternative", and what is right for you may not be right for everybody else.

As for dragging up issues of somebody's past, for somebody who has defended Apple quite a bit around here while trashing MS every chance you get, you should know all too well that many Apple fans (not specifically you) have no problem bringing up anything negative about the past of about BillG, SteveB, etc. But here we read attacks against the Gate's family and those are OK, your absence of criticism of your fellow Apple fan calling Melinda a "SLUT", that is OK. But somebody brings up something from Dear Leader's past, that is just horrible and an end must be put to it now.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/-1]]>Mar 3rd 2009 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-iphone-actually-doesnt-even-l/

Really, it's just a device. Millions of people live happy productive lives without an Apple device.

I think she'll be OK.

The reality is she probably wants one so she doesn't have to put with a-hole friends fingering their phones in front of her.
