Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed
Kaal Alexander Rosser writes "The BBC is reporting that a doodle left behind at a Davos press conference given by Tony Blair, Bill Gates and Bono shows the writer to be: "an unstable man" amongst other things. The Gates Foundation has confirmed the doodle was left there by Bill Gates."
i dont know about gates, but his OS is damn unstable.
The war with islam is a war on the beast
The war on terror is a war for peace
are probably nothing more than variations of the $ sign... =)
The 'unstable man, unstable OS' jokes may begin ... now.
I hear there's rumors on the Slashdots
Really, handwriting analysis? This is the computer age... I don't even know how to write... I put an 'X' in the 'sign here' section... everything else I type... If they analysed my handwriting, well... they'd think I was a 2 year old with a crayon. ;)

a "doodie".
I thought, pity the lab technician who had to do this for media purposes.
Paula: Can you grab my purse. .George showing Jerry the piece of paper he picked up
,if you think they look like this?
George: Yeah.( reaches for the purse and finds a piece of paper . he looks annoyed.
Monks , next day
Jerry: Yeah! So
George; Don't you see what this is?
Jerry: Yeah! It's a doodle.
George: Yeah!, a doodle of me...look at the size of the nose , the ears, all my features are distorted.
Jerry: Oh!.It's an affectionate caricature.
George: I'm grotesque . I look like a troll.
Jerry: It's just a drawing.
George: Don't you see what this says? How can you possibly like somebody

what bad joke is this setting up?
Hey, the poor guy has been hammered left right and center for years - can you blame him for being a bit troubled !
I bet he draws penguins and apples and little tiny bugs and all sorts of odd things when he's bored !
A slashdotting - you get the stick first and then the carrot !
How did they crack the DRM on the doodles so they they could be analysed outside of Media Player?
/. effect.
:-) Or was it a monkey screaming 'oooh ooh develoopers! developers developers! aaaargh!'
And why didn't the paper contain a little ticker that showed the time and date and author of the doodle?
Anyone have a link the torrent? Oh man, I feel strange... it must be the
Did the doodles point to any new ideas in windows? Or was one of the doodles a strange on-flying bird like creature being beaten to death by office stationary (paperclips)
Who knows?

I remember one card had a Skull...
and the other had a Penguin.
....Serves them right? I swear I did not do that on purpose.
Bill Gates' psychological analysis using the science of Numerology, his tea leaves from his last sushi dinner and a phrenologic reading of his cranium.
Actually, George Bush's doodle was also found. You can see it here

I believe the correct sentiment is "more successful" with technology than girls.
In Soviet Russia, asses suck this joke.
Bono happens to draw comic versions of himself and The Edge fighting evil across the galaxy, and always takes them home to ink and color.
Excuse me while I go consult the "I Ching" to find out whether Microsoft intends to embed Internet Explorer in "Office 2007".
Since this is Microsoft and Bill Gates we are talking about, shouldn't you consult "Ka Ching" instead?
Fly me to the moon Let me sing among those stars Let me see what spring is like On jupiter and mars
...and the bar tender says, "We don't serve big wigs here like you.".
Tony Blair says, "But can we at least vote on it?".
The bartender says, "No!".
Bill Gates says, "But we just need a place to crash.".
The bartender felt betrayed because he expected support from Bill, and thus said, "You too??".
Bono says, "Yes...".
testing out my trending skills
I dislike micro$oft as much as the next slashdotter, BUT handwriting analysis! Why not check his bio-rhythmn and astrological correspondences while you're at it. I bet even Bill still has enough geek in his soul to laugh at the morons who think his handwriting revealed anything other than the colour of ink he was using.
Of course, if he'd used a Tablet PC to doodle on, this whole hullabaloo would never have happened.... But then, that too is telling, that it's easier to doodle on paper than on a tablet pc.
You have a gun but only two bullets, who do you shoot?
And up until this point I thought it was all hard science. Next you are going to tell me that psychics and spoon-benders don't really have extraordinary powers.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Oh, wait, this is slashdot, wrong answer:)
"...only a little more authoritative than phrenology..."
Of course you'd say that, you have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!
This comment was formatted for readability, but I forgot the line break tags
When I doodle, I end up with spheres and cubes and conic sections, not because I'm a great three-dimensional thinker, but because I like to practice light/shadows and foreshortening.
Maybe Bill was practicing his triangles? Even if they were Tony's doodles, what's so wrong with Tony practicing triangles?
What I get from it is this: Some of the most powerful people in the world have fun with triangles, so they must be okay to play with.

You'd be suprised how successful you can be with girls when your pickup line is "Hey baby, I've got $50 billion worth of Microsoft stock!"
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

i use linux and windows oh god how can i have an opinion
Did you get a chance to ask him what he runs at home? I bet he would have said Linux. Otherwise he isn't a geek. Only true geeks use Linux.

An unstable man
struggling to concentrate.
George Bush? No. Bill Gates.
If I ever become rich and famous, I am going to leave doodles of boobies all over the place. They will think I am a sex obsessed pig.... Oh.
I read this automatically as being about Bill Gates at a Davros press conference. Immediate thought: Davros, inventor of the Daleks, and Bill Gates together. You just know it makes sense.
Hmmm. Must . get . out . more.
Bitter and proud of it.
