Well hey, Bill Gates is on track; The G-phone uses an open source Operating System, I'm sure he wouldn't mind Melinda and the kids get that so they can (with Bill's assistance) develop apps for their phone (computer) and he can teach them more about compute technology. A father always wants to pass on his knowledge to his siblings.
Who needs an Ipod? The g-phone will do it, or a laptop by your side too.

You work for Microsoft don't you? Are you Bill Gates? I found your comment entertaining.
Max SpencerMar 3rd 2009 9:34PM
I do not believe Bill Gates, as an only child, has siblings.

Blackberry is to iPhone as abacus is to super computer.

Its was Bill Gates which was purchased and maintain even now with Microsoft technology. So Mr Gates is well in rights to keep things MSN.

Drat! I was almost certain that the banned item was going to be toilet paper! :ox

I thought it was going to be the PC... don't bring work home with you. :)
BOBMar 3rd 2009 9:19PM
The reason uncle Bill is not wanting an I phone in his house is they work better than any wiodows ever made. and I have them all. 3.0 3.1 95 98 ME XP and Vista also tried the windows 7 but no drivers where available for it and no cd rom for me. So I dumped windows 7. If I could I would load the Apple software on this ibm. Apple costs to much. Not worth it. but Uncle Bill you owe Apple something for the soft ware you stole. Oh I get it they let you have it because it was so flawed and kept the good stuff for them self. LOLOL

I think it is funny that she wants an iphone. They aren't worth the money. Human fingers are too large for the tiny icons and you wind up in screens that weren't your intention. They need to come with a stylis stick to operate properly.
Secondly, fathers do not want to share their knowledge with their siblings - they want to share their knowledge with their offspring. A sibling is a brother or sister - offspring is a son or daughter.

Bill, got an iMac battery I can borrow? lol
YonMar 4th 2009 10:48PM
And you cannot import nor eat apples, not pineapples in his house! So there!

The HTC Touch Pro by Sprint puts the iPhone to shame and has a microsoft based OS.
CTabbMar 3rd 2009 11:14PM
Too bad Bill Gates is so insecure ... perhaps Apple products are just better? Goes to show money can't buy everything.
PS - siblings your are brothers and sisters, not your children.
rhondaMar 3rd 2009 11:30PM
I feel realllllly bad that Melinda can't have something she wants.
RixMar 3rd 2009 11:39PM
oops. Comments on the history of Microsoft's OS are inaccurate. PC DOS was purchased from a Seattle firm and shipped out with some of the first IBM PCs with the original software company's name lables on the diskettes.
Reason for that is the new lables would not arrive on time to support the first shipment so Bill sent the original diskettes out. There was not enough time and the company had to comply with the timeline or face disaster.
RixMar 3rd 2009 11:48PM
I think you mean the BIOS (bit input output system) and not the OS. That is a cat of a different stripe! Bill's people "wrote" the BIOS for the only chip IBM manufactured for their pc.
But this whole topic is or was the subject of many sleepless nights in Seattle and tons of money spent on legal fees.
DanMar 4th 2009 12:26AM
Bill should give me a million dollars now. He lost the bet.
RixMar 3rd 2009 11:52PM
Mrs. Gates knows full well how much "Apple" people cost them (the dollar amount is still a staggering number)
I tend to very seriously doubt the author who says she wishes she had anything made in or by Apple, Cupertino.

My i phone was the worst phone I've ever had--the buttons were often unresponsive, the internet would freeze up and I'd have to constantly turn off the phone and reboot. Not to mention missing texts and dropped calls on a daily basis. Apple should stick to making computers and stay out of the phone business. They make phones fit for the average 12 year old. I finally got rid of mine 2 months ago and am glad I did !
lewisMar 4th 2009 12:44AM
BTW, does anyone know of a good phone with touch screen display buttons that actually function properly ? Someone told me about a G1 phone, but don't know if it's ATT or another carrier. I do want to stick with ATT
