For those who don’t know about the ‘Good guy Gates’ meme, it sprang up in the wake of Steve Jobs’ passing away, with many online commenters comparing the lives of the two long-time rivals. The general theme is that Gates’ humility — as he demonstrated today with relation to the NBN — often sees him coming out on top when you think about it rationally, and outside of Jobs’ so-called Reality Distortion Field.
Let me be the first to post this comment: “How is this news????”
Your boss is gonna be cross about this one…
I know, it’s a shocker, he’ll get the editor onto me …
Maybe he was too scared to say “100Mb should be more than enough for anyone” He has been bitten before.
Apparently the quote was taken out of context, and it wasn’t precisely what he meant
Earlier [0] you claimed Gates wasn’t qualified to comment about the NBN at all because he only knew about software. Now he’s “one of the greatest technologists of all time” ?!?
Quite a different argument.

Almost every great technologist is focused on one area. In Gates’ case it has been software.
one of the greatest monopolists of all time.
in that case surely he is over qualified to comment on the nbn?
Qualified to chat openly about Telstra though.
Huh? Where has he chatted openly about Telstra?
:/ he hasn’t as far as I know, but as monopolists, he is certainly qualified to do so
