    Whew. For a moment there I was terrified that Mac-users were so obsessed with looking current that they went back into the old Seinfeld eps and digitally replaced the original Mac with one that didn't even exist in Steve Jobs' head when they were filmed. This, I care not about.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Jerry also have a PB Duo, as well? I seem to remember him having three macs, not just the one which you also happen to own, through the run of the show.

    Billionaire says something nice about other Billionaire, doesn't lose sleep because soft pillowy money cushions Billionaire from the drudgery of the world we plebes live in. I wish to enjoy such a financially orgasmic nirvana.

    In all seriousness, gotta have respect for Gates. It's too bad he left Barney Rubble's Frankensteinian stand-in in charge.

    Microsoft loves Apple for a couple of reasons.

    1. A decent percentage of Mac users also buy a full Windows license for dual booting. Microsoft makes more money off selling the Windows license to a user than to an OEM company.
    2. OS-X has given Microsoft some motivation to, and some ideas for improving their user interface and work flow. #billgates

    The "war" between Apple and Microsoft is like some sort of esoteric sporting event and league for geeks.

    The products they make are their athletes. We spend our time pouring over the stats. Arguing intangebles. Buying things that show our afiliation. We call the other side "fools" and talk trash.

    And it's all for two teams that don't clash so decisively in reality. 90% of it is in our minds. #billgates

    Unfortunately, Microsoft swiftly responded with a copy and paste from days before: "Unfortunately, this came from a Microsoft employee who was not involved in any aspect of designing Windows 7. I hate to say this about one of our own, but his comments were inaccurate and uninformed." #billgates

    1st picture
    Bill: "I'm gonna back-hand this b*tch if she don't make me a sammich!"

    Steve: "Hey Bill, it's kinda blurry. I'm gonna take off my glasses." "Much better."

    2nd picture
    Steve: "There's a box... and it's about thiiiis big. It has my entire porn collection in it. I seem to have lost it."

    Bill: "Oh, this big, you say? Nope, haven't seen it."

    Steve: "Bill, why is your other hand under the table?"

    3rd picture
    Bill: "D'oh, I guess you caught me. We can still laugh about it, right?"

    Steve: "Yeah... NO."

    Bill: "Well, this is embarrassing."
