A father always wants to pass on his knowledge to his siblings.<br><br>Who needs an Ipod? The g-phone will do it, or a laptop by your side too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel Watkins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 3rd 2009 8:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[You work for Microsoft don't you?

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.

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.<br>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.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tracy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 3rd 2009 9:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bill, got an iMac battery I can borrow? lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 3rd 2009 10:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[And you cannot import nor eat apples, not pineapples in his house!

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. <br><br>Reason for that is the new lables would not arrive on time to support the first shipment so Bill sent the original diskettes out.

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 !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2009 12:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/03/melinda-gates-secretly-pines-for-an-iphone/</guid><description><![CDATA[BTW, does anyone know of a good phone with touch screen display buttons that actually function properly ?
