If Microsoft chairman Bill Gates gave you a blank check and asked you to spend it in ways that would improve Microsoft's bottom line, what would you do with it? We're not talking planes, trains and automobiles here; we're talking tech investments. We know Microsoft technical evangelist
Robert Scoble would go Web 2.0-crazy with his mad money. But what about you?

31.05.2007Fortune names Steve Jobs 'CEO of the decade'
Fortune magazine has named Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, as "CEO of the decade". In an article confirming the title, Fortune wrote: "How's this for
a gripping corporate story line: Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade
survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant
personality in four distinct industries, a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley." Jobs has certainly
turned Apple around.

Steve Jobs praises a retiring Bill Gates
While most of Steve Jobs' energy on Tuesday was spent touting the new MacBook Air, the Apple chief did take some time to praise longtime rival Bill
Gates, who plans to stop working
full-time at Microsoft at the end of June.
"Bill's retiring from Microsoft is a big deal," Jobs told the New York Times . "It's a
significant event, and I think he should be honored for the contributions he's made."
I'm guessing Jobs probably won't issue
a Bill Gates edition iPod, but the two have been making nice in public, including a rare joint appearance at last year's D: All Things Digital

The magazine's profile of Jobs noted that the

Owning 5.4 million shares of Apple stock is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you have a huge fortune. On the other, you can lose $214 million in

“Poor” Steve Jobs
Apple’s stock has been riding high for nearly a year heading into Macword, and had briefly peaked around $200 a share. On Macworld Eve

Apple's Jobs, Microsoft's Gates make peace at D conference
Contrary to stereotypes, the
Apple and Microsoft founders
were far from conflict at the
outset of their joint
interview with Walt Mossberg
at the Wall Street Journal's
D5 gathering.
Both
opened their portion of the
event by praising each
other's work. Jobs quickly
centered on Gates' central
role in the early computer
industry as the first to build
a company solely around
software, rather than
depending on customized
hardware. "That was huge,"
Jobs said. "Bill was really
focused on software."
Gates returned the favor
by centering on Apple's
achievements instead of his
own, centering on the
company's populist approach.
"Apple really
pursued the dream of building
products that we want to use
ourselves," he said. "
always seems to figure out
where the next industry
movement will be. The industry
has benefited tremendously
from his work." ..

Steve Jobs: One letter can raise shares almost 6%
Just about everyone knows that Steve Jobs is the face and lifeblood of Apple, and while some Apple-lovers claim that this is not the case, investors
think otherwise. Following the last few keynotes and what seemed to be a final blow, investors felt "on ice" about Steve Jobs and the future of the
company, and their money held in stock. Steve Jobs' letter to the public has lightened the hearts of his fans around the world and will allow the

Melinda Gates goes public
... about living with Bill, working with Warren Buffett, and giving away their billions.
Years before Melinda French met
and married Bill Gates, she had a love affair - with an Apple computer. ¶ She was growing up in Dallas in a hard-working middle-class family. Ray
French, Melinda's dad, stretched their budget to pay for all four children to go to college. An engineer, he started a family business on the side,
operating rental properties. "That meant scrubbing floors and cleaning ovens and mowing the lawns," Melinda recalls. The whole family pitched in
every weekend. When Ray brought home an Apple III computer one day when she was 16, she was captivated. "We would help him run the business and keep
the books," she says. "We saw money coming in and money going out."

be my friends". According to Gates he had trouble figuring out who was a real friend and who was not, "It was just way too much trouble so I gave it
up," Gates told the business forum. Over the years that Facebook has been operating there have been many parody and fake screen shots of Bill's
Facebook pages but Neowin can reveal Gates' true Facebook page today.

Rumor: Windows 7 to make appearance at D6
A very tired little birdie who flew all the way from Seattle to Australia has chirped to me Windows 7 will be publically disclosed for the first time
at the D6: All Things Digital Conference hosted by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher next week on May 27. The same conference where last year Bill Gates
and Steve Jobs made a historical appearance together on-stage interviewed by Walt and Kara.
Whilst my chirp-to-English translation is a
little flaky, it makes sense because the D Conference has been used in the past for Microsoft to make rather grand announcements such as the
introduction of the Surface computer. This time round, both Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer will appear together at the keynote so it’s a perfect
opportunity to discuss about the future of the company.

True to their word, Apple have had CEO Steve Jobs return back to work, at the end of June. Jobs had been seen around the campus last week, but it

"Steve Jobs is back to work. He is at Apple a few days a week and working from home the other days. We're glad to have him back," and
wouldn't comment any further. Steve Jobs had left Apple in January due to health concerns, and it seems that two months ago he may even have had a
