    Gates has always been jealous of Jobs. Gates is a huge nerd and have always wished he were one of the popular kids like Jobs…. #billgates

    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.

    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

    @ossuary: I imagine this conversation taking place:

    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."

    Steve: "Hey, look everybody, I'm going to karate chop the table. With my hand." #billgates

    @Nathan Obbards: Because most people are ultra proud of what they like and choose to buy, and on each side, there are users that find weaknesses and faults with/in the competition.

    Windows sucks, windows crashes all the time, windows runs on cheap, plastic computers, windows is a 200 'update', etc.

    OSX sucks, macs are overpriced, you can't do as much on osx as on windows, it takes so long for apple to fix bugs, etc.

    It's been back and forth for decades and it'll be back and forth for decades to come. #billgates

    As an Apple retail employee, I can assure you that MSFT poached waaaay more than a handful of or talent. Apparently, offering people piles of cash to switch teams is still a go in the business world. Who would have thunk it? Maybe that's why I'm headed back to the freelance world this week. :)

    I just need to blow off some steam on how much iMovie sucks. Keynote creates a mov file and imovie wont import it all or or even recognize its a movie. Plus it lags. I could do this faster and easier in parallels with windows movie maker.. ugh.

(QuickTime Pro users got screwed by QuickTime X, and I ain't touching iMovie for merging clips and stuff.) So yeah, go ahead, vent away. #gizmodoremainders

    @Wilson Rothman: Youz guyz sound like you need yourselves some final cut action. That'll do anything you need to damn near any format of video you throw at it, it even works with video sources in different codecs in the same timeline, and you can do SO MUCH with it... I wish it took better advantage of Snow Leopard... and I wish it weren't so damn worth it... but even final cut express will do a lot, and is certainly worth the price if you use it at all. #gizmodoremainders

    @Redrum4breakfast: Oh I've got Final Cut Express, but my video editing needs are super simple, basically what QuickTime Pro used to do (merge, trim, occasionally rotate) that QuickTime X now does not. Hence the SimpleMovieX. #gizmodoremainders

    @Wilson Rothman: why didn't you keep quicktime 7 pro when you installed 10.6? I did for stuff like converting mkv files to mp4... it still works great! You should try re-installing it... Quicktime X is a joke as far as export options, making it's trimming abilities useless. Although, I do use it to convert downloaded TV shows to iPhone format, which it does super quick! #gizmodoremainders

    I love how he's complaining about not being able to go from XP to Win 7. Why would you want to do an upgrade for an OS? Especially from one from 2001. Windows 7 is an entirely different animal from XP. That being said, I loved XP Pro. It was great, stable, and did everything I needed it to.

    we ARE talking about the same CNBC that Steve Jobs actually tossed his mic and walked off of right?
