"The Most Famous Geek Steps Down", In fact it is a Step Up, Bill

بيل جيتس

يترك عمله

في ميكروسوفت

ليتفرغ لمؤسسته الخيرية

June 23, 2008

Bill Gates, for years the world’s richest man (now he is 3rd richest according to Forbes), announced that he will leave his full-time work at Microsoft to spend most of his energy on the world's biggest philanthropy, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, funded largely by his own fortune.

In June 2006 (see how well-planned and punctual these guys are), Microsoft had announced Plans for (this) July 2008 Transition for Bill Gates.

Many bright kids have Bill Gates to thank for making it socially acceptable to be a computer geek!

Bill, this is not a step down my friend, this is a step up.

It is truly inspiring. Thank you, Bill.

Buffett donates

$37bn to charity

Warren Buffett says he was "wired at birth to allocate capital"

(BBC) On 26 June 2006, Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has said he was waiting for decades to make a huge charitable donation. Buffett, it appears, was inspired by Bill Gates to make this donation, which is thought to be the largest charitable gift ever in the US and probably in history.

He said he was overjoyed as he spoke for the first time since revealing he would donate about $37bn (£20bn) to Bill Gates' charitable foundation.

"This has been coming for 50 years," Mr Buffett said. "There's never really been any other plan in terms of where the money should go." Mr Buffett will hand 10 million shares in his Berkshire Hathaway firm to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

عقبالك يا دقرم

مش انت عندك طيارة بتاعتك؟ طيب ... ما تخطف رجلك وتزور الجماعة ... يمكن العدوى تجيلك ...

يا راجل كفاية 40 مليار بأه ...

ما هو يا تبقى مشرع أو صاحب مشروع

اختار واحدة من الاتنين :)

وبعدين ناس كتير اتهموا بيل جيتس إن شركته محتكرة وياما دفعت غرامات بسبب الموضوع ده ... وانت كمان الناس بتتهمك انك محتكر ... يعني قصدي فيه اشياء كتيرة مشتركة ما بينكم ... فيعني ... اتكل على الله بأه كده واستخير وخد القرار ...

احنا نفسنا شركتك تبقى أكبر شركة في العالم عشان حتبقى شركة مصرية هي أكبر شركة في العالم ... بس صدقني ما ينفعشي تكون انت بتشرع القوانين اللي تمنع الاحتكار وانت متهم بالاحتكار ... الشعب مش حمار ...

Trust me on this

It is called "Conflict of Interest"
