Bill Gates: the Traditional PC Is Changing
Billly Gates writes "Bill Gates, in an interview with Charlie Rose last night, defended the move to Metro-ize Windows 8 and focus solely on the tablet experience (here's the video — tablet talk starts around 28 minutes in). When asked how traditional PC users will react, he explained that the world is moving into tablets, and a new PC needs to have both experiences integrated together. Also, he defended the move to build the Surface while charging his competitors a bundle for Windows 8. He says users have access to both experiences, whether it is a signature Microsoft one, or from an OEM. Is the a sign the desktop is dead or dying?"
Gates stopped short of saying the traditional PC is dead, but dodged direct questions about its future. This is a big change to the stance he has advocated in years past.
Why, as a society, can't we take what we need from Bill Gates to fund projects we desperately need as a society? We have hungry people, poor people, people with a small tv, crummy roads/bridges/criss crossings, and people without pacemakers who desperately need them and we just let this man keep all these billion. NOT putting his money where it's needed is a failure of our society and we are condemned TO HELL for it.
I guess "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" are just empty words to you?
Fourth Amendment? Right to privacy? Takings clause? More empty words?
Jeez.
Do you REALLY believe that?
You seem to believe Gates keeps his money in a mattress.
What a clueless twerp.
Tell you what - if you REALLY want to improve society, sell your computer and donate the proceeds to a medical center so they can study the turnip that's grown where your brain ought to be.
This man is a reptile and Rothschild Zionist. He is all about population control and GMOs, when his controllers brought the moon here they never could have imagined the control they would end up with.
because people should be able to keep the property they've earned? socialism just ensures that we all live in squalor. Just look at the ex-soviet state lifestyle.. look, I'm no bill gates fan, but the socialist rhetoric spewing forth lately scares me... you don't have a right to another's property without his permission.
Hey look, the apple-market guys are here too... Better hardware? You mean the macs with the new and improved Intels? Oh wait... you just charge a whole lot more for it! Yeah, it's magic. Lol. Btw, don't try to call with your iphone, it won't get a signal.
