See Bill Gates Shake With The Quake
from the okay,-not-that-exciting,-actually dept
So, there appears to have been a pretty large earthquake in the Seattle area this morning. It even interrupted a Bill Gates talk at an education and technology conference. There's some video footage of the conference when the earthquake happened, but you really can't see anything that's going on the stage, so it's tough to tell how Gates reacted. Apparently, he just walked off stage. Maybe he's just demonstrating to the government the power of MicrosoftQuake 7.0 (or is that 6.8) should this lawsuit go on any further... Just wait until you see the blue screen of death associated with that sucker.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: shutup mike
Besides, don't you think that "Shutup Mike" is a little on the harsh side?

Micro$oft bashing
Now we know what happens to the code from the micro$oft campus that leaks out of the bit bucket and into the earth. It makes the planet itself unstable.

MORE Micro$oft bashing

hat appeared at, appropriately enough,
MSNBC; while the story has since been updated with newer information, it originally
included the following entertaining little snippet: "Screams erupted at a nearby hotel,
where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology
conference. He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exists. Some
audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out." To which we'd like
to append: "And then the earthquake hit." Ba-dum ching! Tip your waitstaff!
But was the earthquake's timing just a coincidence, or was it actually prompted by
Bill's Windows demo? When asked to comment, God reportedly issued the following
statement: "Missed him by that much."
