Breaking News


Holy moly! Hold on to your seats. Come July 2008 Bill Gates will no longer be involved in day-to-day operations at Microsquish! Says so right here in this press release! This is huge! Monumental! Life changing! Breaking news! Breaking news!

Frankly, I don't think anyone would have noticed if they hadn't said anything. He's not taking the paper clip with him, the software will still freeze up your PC and he'll still be a kabillionaire.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

Look around you. Like the house? The Car? I learned to code on the version of Basic that Bill actually wrote. So speak kindly :)

Boy, boys, Please. I think Bill Gates rocks. I love that he is turning his full-time attention to the Foundation. I just think that him backing off the day-to-day stuff isn't that big a deal. It's not substantively going to change anything. Hell, hasn't Balmer been pretty much running the show for the last few years anyway? PLUS, I think announcing a retirement 2 years ahead of the actual retirement is a bit, well, silly. If it's news, it'll be news when it happens. That's like announcing you're going to have a baby when you haven't had sex yet. It's a little more exciting when it's actually happening.

I meant no disrespect to the man. Now return to your 0s and 1s.

By the way, Elroy, have you ever said "At least I've got chicken" after having been berated by your WoW friends?

Elroy, Hope I didn't cause any trouble with JJ, you know, what with outing your secret life as a 21st century cartoon boy.
