    Gates vs Orwell

    Whos that puppet looking all Bill Gates-like?
    http://news.com.com/2100-1009_3-1021158.html

    Gates told a homeland security conference on Wednesday afternoon that Orwell's dystopian vision of the future, in which Big Brother used technology as a form of social control, "didn't come true, and I don't believe it will."
    if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

    "Gates continued: 'Now if all of you nonpersons would leave me alone I could get back to the business of running my animal farm'"

          Ugh, What else would Gates expect us to think he'd say? Everything in his life depends heavily on the adoption of every "technical solution" Microsoft can invent.
