    come on

    bill gate is a good person
    who gives out all his money to save lifes with his philanthropic facility, he might be the only richest people on this planet has the heart to use all his money to help others


    he is doing something better than just making money

    which most of the billionaires or millionaires never see things behind their nose.

    bill gate once said : " the money i spent on helping others could actually kick the second richest man far away from the second richest position on this planet.:.:.:."

    This just shows your attitude mate. Bill Gates is the reason you're sitting in front of that computer. He was a great man and has achieved an unprecedented position in world history. Something Google can never achieve. They are both lords in their respective areas. Don't mix wine and rum.

    Absolutely false. I'm not sure MS is even in the top 10.
    Not according to the Los Angeles Times which had a series earlier this year that there are a lot of dirty tricks involved with that.

    The Los Angeles Times reported The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has invested in the same companies that are polluting and poisoning the rivers that the poor in Africa drink from. They also invest in the companies that sell the medicines to the same doctors and hospitals.

    Newspapers are / and have been highly inaccurate in their reporting.

    Common Sense would dictate that the individuals funding the investments, may not have known where the money was going.

    Oprah Winfrey invested quite a bit of money in building a school in Africa where bad things happened...she did not have a crystal ball to foresee these events.

    If you think people have bad motives because they cannot see all issues well that makes you a pompous ass. I think you should step down off your high horse....

    what have you done to make the world a better place??? I know it pales in comparison to what the Gates Foundation has attempted to do.

    Except, in this case, the sources were shown as well as the data.

    Except for the xbox, keyboards and mice, I think, Microsoft is not involved in electronics manufacturing.

    Except in this case, you still have absolutely no proof whatsoever what Bill Gates knew, or was aware of....

    See, so just like Bill, you continue to make mistakes, and assumptions.

    Notice assumptions starts with the word ass.....this is so you don't make one of yourself.

    Bill didn't lose anything to Google, he has billions of dollars and with that money you could buy google, so i don't think hes retiring because he's afraid.
    afraid of what ? that google is going to become as big as microsoft ?
    pfff ! not gonna happen' ! :D

    Bill Gates won. If it wasn't for Bill Gates, Google wouldn't have users.
