How to dress like Microsoft's Bill Gates for Halloween
Yesterday’s Steve Jobs costume didn’t float your boat? How about dressing up as his biggest rival, Bill Gates? You’d have women dry-humping your leg all night long if you did, promise. Ok, maybe just me in that case, but I’m sure there are others out there who can’t resist a good Gates lookalike. Right?
Essentially you want to aim on dressing like your Dad at the office, so raid his wardrobe if you can, otherwise get yourself down…
Opinion: Corporate cash is never a bad thing!
So the boss emails me this morning and he says: “Can you do a post on either Microsoft buying into Facebook or Blackberries becoming more of an entertainment device?” ‘Mmm’ I thought, why don’t I do both! So here it is, cunningly combined by way of a tenuous techno link.
I can’t lie, I’m possibly one of the most corporate people you’ll meet. I love big business, capitalism and all the positives that come from it. And I’m overjoyed at Bill Gates grabbing a slice of my beloved Facebook. His firm has invested $240m in the social network site and while it’s less than a two per cent stake, there’s no doubt the company will start to exert some of its muscle amid the Poking and Fun Walls…
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer likens relationship with Bill Gates to that of husband and wife. Awww!
Here’s a free tip to Microsoft: hang on to Steve Ballmer for as long as humanely possible, and after then, cyrogenically freeze him for future prosperity. You could not ever hope for as much free PR as he has given you over the years.
The latest reason to adore Microsoft’s Chief Executive comes from an interview he gave the Daily Telegraph, where he gave…

Proof that money can't buy you fashion sense, Brandish looks at rich geeks' fashion don'ts
Any excuse for a photo of Bill Gates to appear on these pages, phwroar! But there’s a reason, and it’s not a pretty sight. Yup, Ben over at Brandish, our mens’ fashion site, has done a top five of the worst dressed rich geeks this planet (un)fortunately has, and believe me, it’s a nasty sight.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in joint-interview at All Things D conference
Yesterday at the All Things D conference, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs went head to head for the first time since 2005, when they were last seen together. People have been speculating for weeks now in both online and print media about how the two would interact with one another in their joint-interview, and just what the two powerful computing geniuses would shed light on, if anything.
For those spoiling for a blood-bath, you’ll be disappointed. Instead what viewers were treated to was a 90-minute long chat about the past 30 years they’ve worked as rivals, complete with plenty of reminiscing and laughter at their early ideas. The interview was hosted by Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg and technology reporter Kara Swisher, read on below for all the deets…
Microsoft's Surface: what it does, who it's for, and why we should lust after one
When several of us Tech Digest writers were present at Bill Gates’s keynotes speech at CES in Las Vegas and saw a brief display of what we now know is Surface, which Dave announced earlier this morning, none of us realised it would be released this year. Heck, we thought we were looking at the sort of space-age technology that comes hand-in-hand with flying cars and bite-sized pills for every meal.
Instead, Surface will be released into the wild (well, commercial wild, anyway) this Winter, where T-Mobile, Starwood Hotels, Harrah’s casinos and gambling-company IGN will have first access to this exciting new way of computing…
