VS.
This week, Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs finally unveiled the long-anticipated iPad tablet device. Rumors of the existence of such a product have abounded for years, but to all the Mac dreamers out there, this wet one is finally a reality.
Although Apple's market share is still significantly smaller than that of their sworn-enemy, Microsoft, there is no competition when it comes to product-hype. With the exception of that giant billboard on the CN Tower promoting Windows '95 (I think), I don't recall there ever being any kind of excitement to the extent that is afforded to Apple's product launches. This time, however, Bill Gates found a way to get his name in the news just a few days after the iPad's grand entrance.
This week Bill Gates told the New York Times that over the next 10 years he would be committing $10 billion towards research of AIDS vaccines.
Stealing the limelight from you arch-enemy by doing something no one could justifiably be upset about is absolutely genius.
What an ass.
