Robert, We are not the people BG want to work for MS. MS likes people who are young and mouldable. They don't really want people who has 20 years of experience...
True, most wealthy people don't live in the real world. I suspect Bill Gates does know of the tech downturn and the impacts it has had. How could he not...
... That was true in a pre-Enron world. But what do you do when the venture-capitalist makes a political decision to invest only in companies that outsource...

I sense that Bill Gates is motivated not so much by money (he has more than he knows what to do with) but by shaping and having an impact on society. He has a...
This announcement was in the paper today: Technology jobs in the U.S. fell by 25,000 in 2004 to 5.56 million jobs - an improvement after 333,000 jobs were shed...
