Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ok-i-just-gotta-do-it dept.

So normally I resist the temptation to post this sort of thing because it just seems like a cheap shot, but I just can't hold back on this one, so Bill, if you're reading this (ya right ;) I'm sorry, but I just have to share this one. And I hope in 2021 I'm a billionaire and people are posting my yearbook pictures to take cheap shots at me too! Anyway, We recently found pictures of a photo spread Mr. Gates did in 1983 for Teen Beat magazine. Enjoy.

      That is scary. I'm half expecting him to start unbuttoning his shirt and rubbing his nipples.

    Seriously? What was the article about? How in god's name can you justify having pictures like that?

    He is posing like he wants to be wearing a bikini. I can hear him being told to "make love to the camera".

  11. Best Bill Gates quote from the 1980's by amichalo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My favorite is this quote from Bill Gates:

    "To create a new standard takes something that's not just a little bit different. It takes something that's really new and captures people's imaginations. Macintosh meets that standard."
    - Bill Gates, Chairman of the Board & CEO Microsoft Corporation

    While you're at it, check out the real article CmdrTaco found this photo at. Much more informative and interesting read.

    Actually, if you look at the EXIF tags inside the JPG files, you will see the following comment:

    Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA

    And, here is the original image in Corbis.

    So, as always, Slashdot is wrong. It is from 1985, not 1983. But, amazingly enough, it actually is Bill Gates, and it is real.
