    What about Bill Gates cancelled Christmas while you’re at it?

    The industry may have lost Christmas 2006, but Linux driver developers and hardware vendors are getting together to make sure it won’t happen again.

    The laptop in the picture should have better been the OLPC laptop and I personally think that side by side would be better, but the idea is great :)

    Bill Gates is putting some of his money to /very/ good use by funding research in third world diseases that nobody else wants to touch because there isn’t any money in selling medicine to poor people.

    Peter, undoubtedly his contribution to various schemes has a positive impact, but I’d be a vastly less cynical about those contributions were they not used to manipulate government policy, purchasing decisions and so on.

    And yeah, of course these images are petty. I couldn’t think of a clever, cerebral joke about Gates being a prick to OLPC.

    wireless mesh networks and have several power sources including a dynamo crank. Bill has obviously been living in luxary too long, becase he advertised the Microsoft tablet PCs priced from $699 to $999 as a viable alternative.. Somebody knocked afunny image up though :)
