He isn’t doing that though. edited (after fact-checking) kadafee for accuracy on profit margin statement sisyphus @ 02/01/06 12:05:31 Apple is my opinion kadafee is Microsoft lite. If Microsoft is the Walmart of the consumer pc industry, Apple would be StarBucks. Sulk @ 02/01/06 12:06:36 I mean, just the fact that he’s doing it counts kadafee for more than all the principled inaction in the world. Six billion fucking dollars is a HUGE chunk of change, and all that investment in the companies translates into development costs that don’t need to be recouped. At the end of the day, it’s the change you make in the world that counts. I bet that every African AIDS victim that gets those drugs is going to value Gates’ contribution more than they would your principled condemnation of his insignificant and debatable hypocrisy. Snark @ 02/01/06 12:06:58 Turn away from the dark side, sisyphus, come back to the light. YT_ @ 02/01/06 12:08:21 TCS (and Shogo) – I see your point but it is still a hypocritical gesture to donate money to buy TRIPS-protected drugs that you own stock in for jacked-up prices.
