Yes after abusing monopoly powers on intel based PC's. Thanks to Bill Clinton.

buzugee:

What does the content of the article have to do with:

Does he know everything going on in the company?

Should he be held responsible for the actions of a grown arse man just because the grown arse man is related to him?

How many people here would like to be held responsible for every action of their adult age brother/sister. Leave him be. The article is not about Kase Lawal.

fstranger3:

Whose money is not based on speculations?

I guess Forbes counted all of Bill Gates and Paul Allen's money before they came up with figures. Wow, impressive thinking from you.

And the 100 million Zuckerberg gave to the Newark public schools is more imaginary than real? Who knew?

buzugee:

bill gates and paul allen sell physical products. products that put cash in the kitty. zuckerberg sells advertising space on facebook and the amount that can speculatively be generated by having a lot of user base. stay on focus fool. hard cash vs speculatory wealth

My reference to him known as being "not exactly clean" has to do with the whole "escaping from Nigeria in 1999 after being part of a group stealing oil" affair, not with this incident. I don't think he's involved in this incident because he doesn't really have a motive. Just clarifying.

bill gates became a billionaire way before bill clinton

Microsoft's core products have always been software - is that a physiacl product?

Microsoft's core products have always been software - is that a physiacl product?  

buzugee:

yes because it is automatically installed on every computer you buy. you have no say in it

fstranger3:

Mr. I know it all, could you please answer his question.

let me rephrase it in broken:

shey software na physical product so?

buzugee:

yes because it is automatically installed on every computer you buy. you have no say in it

oyb:

dude, you can always decide to buy a pc with linux.

and i have plenty of say in what is installed in a pc i buy - i can always choose to uninstall what i don't want

oyb:

mocrosoft's best selling products are windows and microsoft office.

others include visual studio

can you claim that visual studio and office are installed on a pc and you have no say in them either?


and for a guy based in the us, your claim that you have no say in your os of choice - that is simply not true.

oyb:

pcs with linux are a rarity?

what will we hear next?

no let the linux geeks her you

buzugee:

maybe in nigeria they are not. in america its microsoft world baby

buzugee:

apples and oranges. microsoft has a product that they sell ? right ? relatively that makes it a physical product. you pay for the product in hard cash.
facebook has no product to sell. it is a free site. no products. they get money by selling advertisement. gerrittt ? yall suckers need to act like you know

fstranger3:

Well not in the America I live in. And I live in NJ. Drop it already!

SEFAGO:

Let me lend some Mensa level intelligence to this debate:

Both Bill Gates and Zuckerbergy have speculatory wealth. Speculatory in that they depend significantly on the worth of their companies- if Microsoft stock crashes today (unlikely) then Billy would not be that rich. Zuckerberg same thing, depends on the worth of facebook.

They dont have the type of hard cash you guys are thinking about.

a pc with linux will be a rarity. most pcs use microsoft product. thats that monopoly as a result of largess from folks upstairs. the powers that be. act like you know son

oyb:

absolute tosh

we pay for mp3s from itunes, iphone apps, software like autocad , etc

are those physical products


is crysis 2 a physical product?

is a media video file a physical product?

buzugee:

bruv use your brain. when you buy what you buy from itunes do you not pay cash from a credit card ? then that is a product. do you pay any charges for your facebook page ? then technically it is not a product.

SEFAGO:

@buzugee

Apple uses Unix OS which is basically linux. Most people versatile with computers and programming do tend to use linux than microsoft because it gives you a lot more control.

fstranger3:

That does not mean that Facebook is not receiving money from somewhere.

Where did he get the 100 million dollars he donated to the Newark public school system?

oyb:

stop contradicting yourself and running in circles

according to you, you only pay cash for physical products

i have given you a list of products that ARE NOT physical, which people pay money for, you are talking more tosh.

smh

the worst one can say about bill gates is that he is a robber baron. but to equate him with the likes of joe kennedy, who actually pushed boot legged liquour, you need to get out of the ghetto is all i will say
