Bill Gates Has Banned The iPhone From His House

2009-03-06T21:43:00.000-08:00

According to a recent interview given by Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) pioneer Bill Gates, Apple's iPhone and iPod are two devices that are not permitted in the Gates household.

I think the quote says it all. Speaking to Vogue magazine, Mrs. Gates said, "There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids."

The iPhone and iPod, made by Apple, are products that compete directly with Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform and Zune media player. Bill Gates' children can no doubt get their hands on pretty much any Microsoft technology they might want.

I think it's a fair "ban," given Bill Gates' career at Microsoft. My father works for Eastman Kodak. When we still shot pictures on film, Fuji film wasn't exactly banned, but there was an unstated rule that we should buy only Kodak film. There's nothing wrong with supporting the company that pays your bills, or rooting for the home team, in a sense.

But apparently that sense of supporting the home team doesn't mean Mrs. Gates hasn't been tempted by the dark side. She also told Vogue, "Every now and then I look at my friends and say 'Ooh, I wouldn't mind having that iPhone'."

Happy Birthday...

To the most Beautiful woman in the World, my wife Jessica!!!

How about this idea....

2009-01-28T20:40:00.000-08:00

I want to make a bumper sticker that says right over this big "O"... "I'm ready for another CHANGE"

The game is back!!!

2009-01-25T21:51:00.000-08:00

I had to fight through week legs due to the bad back... but I bowled a 225 to finish off the night!!! So the 200 average is on the way!!!

Happy 25 birthday Mac...

2009-01-24T22:38:00.001-08:00

It has been 25 years baby!! Way to go Mac! And it is only getting better!! Here is the Super Bowl Commercial that started it all...

Love our new computer.....

2009-01-23T23:47:00.000-08:00

If you have read any of my old post or just "know" me, you know that I love Apple Inc. and most of what they come out with... So we finally got a new MacBook! We have had it for a few months now and it is great. If you are still a PC person... I urge you to check a Mac out at you locale Apple Store.

Missing Bowling.

2009-01-18T23:43:00.000-08:00

Two weeks ago I hurt my back and last Sunday night I bowled very poorly on League night! And tonight my Dad took my spot.... And boy did I miss it tonight! So, if you did not know, bowling is my new thing.... I love bowling! I have 3 balls (had four, but gave one to my Bro-In-Law), and I record bowling on TV. I have a cool bag.. And all I want do do is bowl!! Started 2 months ago and I have a 173 average! I want 200+, so I'll make sure you know when I get there... Until than, my your balls hit hard and may your Pins all fall down.. And I'm writing this on Vicoden and Beer.. because of the back... not the fun!!! LOL!!

Just checking if people are checking???

2009-01-17T13:30:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

Does anyone still stop by here a see if I've posted lately? If so leave a comment and I'll keep it going!

Wow!!!

2008-06-25T20:58:00.000-07:00

I can't believe people are still coming back to see if I have been saying anything! Well, you can see that I haven't, so here we go. This is why keeping one of these blogs up is so hard. I have always felt that if you don't have anything fun or important to say, don't say it. So it was hard to get back on and say something! Because I really don't have anything to say. With that said, here we go... Or car bit the dust! Yes, with a year of payments left it decided it was done! Nice! So a week before our car went, my Dad's car lost its transmission. It is the same make, year, and model as ours. The funny thing is that is the only thing left working on ours. So my dad gave us his car. We are going to take the transmission out of ours and put it in his! Also,our nice leather sets are coming with us. The sets are light tan on the light blue of his car... I think it will look like a cool tricked out hot rod, or as we call it... a "Grany Car". I'll let you kwon how it goes!

I got em!!!!

2008-04-23T22:41:00.001-07:00

I have been wanting a set of these for a long time.... and the day has come!!! And I saved 100 bucks! They work great and block out so much of the background noise that is just no fun! Now if only I could plug these into my work phone and block out my annoying coworkers!!!! LOL!!!

Got Cha...

2008-04-08T22:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I moved it up and I Still love the music so it stays the same... When I get sick of the songs, they change!

Do you like?

2008-04-06T21:51:00.001-07:00

Just wondering if people like the music or not... And I mean, do you like it when people have music playing and or do you like or dislike the songs I'm playing? Post a comment.

It's been a few days...

2008-04-02T22:32:00.000-07:00

So I thought I would put some of my thoughts down on this here web screen... I'm 35 now and for the most part can remember what happened in high school... that is to say I played sports and went to some classes. But really, what I'm getting at is this here darned computer and how it has changed the world! Sitting in the computer lab in middle school staring at the black screen and green letters of the Apple II E and its 5" floppy disk drive wedged between the computer and monitor made me think, Wow, what a computer that was... Now all I can remember is typing in doss code like "RUN" and.... well that's all I can remember typing! Now fast forward a few years, and I do mean "a few years" to my new Apple iMac 20" LCD beauty! Everything has changed! I won't even go into details but, I'm sitting here at 10:45 PM posting on my "Blog", what is a blog you ask, well, I don't know? I can still remember sitting at that Apple II e computer playing the "Oregon Trail" game and telling the computer to "eat the food".. How times have changed!

iPhone?

2008-03-29T08:22:00.000-07:00

So, who out there has a iPhone? What do you think of it? What are you're billing plans, and how much do you pay... I'm thinking about switching our hard line out for a cell phone.... Being a Apple/Mac guy, why not get an iPhone? Please post a comment.

Very Busy Weekend!

2008-03-23T10:21:00.000-07:00

With our kids in a family wedding and and friends and relatives in town, it is a weekend I'll be glad is over soon! Today is Easter and as we celebrate our Risen Lord at least I can smile.

Still in the first week...

2008-03-19T20:20:00.000-07:00

The song you hear on my blog is by Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam). It is form the Sound track "Into the wild". A very good movie I thought, but long. It is a true story of Chris McCandless, an honors grad from Emory University who walked into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992 to find himself outside the confines of his estranged family, well-meaning friends and any governing body. Chris traveled over two years by foot, after he burned his driver's license and credit cards, gave away $24,000 in savings and set out to find his place in the world without a map. Chris heads to Alaska, enduring four months of isolation until his starved body is found in an abandoned bus by hunters. It was sad and inspiring at the same time. And it only cost me a dollar from the Red Box at McDonalds! Go get it and enjoy!

Because I'm on the beer thing....

2008-03-18T20:20:00.000-07:00

Having posted about my beer, or should I say my love of beer...(only saying that because my wife is worried about what you all will think of me) I thought everyone would love this Lego Movie. My son and I love to watch them and of corse it is about the love of my life..... BEER!!!

This is how I spent my Sunday afternoon

2008-03-16T21:01:00.001-07:00

Ok, so it is still the first day and this will be my third post! Well, if you don't include my video it's only my second. So today I took all my cans/bottles and those of my in-laws to the Walmart bottle return machine. To give you an idea how many bottles and cans I took back... Try 55 bucks worth!!! Thats just over 5 hours of fighting with the Walmart crowd! I mean there were a lot of people trying to return their cans, must be because it's sunday. Then there was the Walmart crew (workers) who could care less if the bottle return machine worked or not! So I made out with 10 bucks an hour to return cans. Lets think about that for a minute? 10 bucks an hour? I think I could have found many other more appealing things to do in five hours then pouring old beer down my leg! Moldy old beer at that! LOL!!! For those of you who don't live in a state that returns cans, we get just 5 cents per can/bottle. So you can imagine how nice my Sunday afternoon was.. But so goes life... And after all that you'd think I'd never want another beer... Anybody got one? Out for now...

My First "Stop Animation Movie"

2008-03-16T10:21:00.000-07:00

I'm all about the "Orange"

2008-03-16T09:55:00.000-07:00

You all should know form the start I'm a guy who loves the color orange! I'm a fan of the Oregon State Beavers! They are Orange and Black... You could say I bleed "Orange and Black"! And unless the Packers make it back to the Super Bowl anytime soon the color will not change. The circles on the background are just cool to me! Not sure if anyone will like them but that is OK!
