thedigitalbeat.com — 1. Apple's early and ongoing commitment to design excellence may have its roots in a college course Steve Jobs took decades ago.

"I don't see you quitting your job, selling your house, and joining the salvation army or peace corps." - Jozer99I also don't have a $20 million (or whatever) house on the lake (which, as far as I know, Gates still lives in). And my wife and young kids may not appreciate my joining the Peace Corps or going without food.Hey, like I said, I admire Gates for what he's doing, but he could give away 99.999% of his fortune and still have far, far more than most of us here. He'll never miss a meal or sleep on the cold ground. Which is fine; no one expects him to. But like I implied earlier, the money I donate every year has more negative impact on my family's quality of life than Bill's donations have on his. Fact. But no one is going to write a magazine article about it."Also, I would love to see the evidence you have that his dedication to a life of charity is a simple publicity stunt for the sake of Microsoft."I didn't say I had any evidence of it. I didn't even say I truly believed it. The timing could be considered suspicious, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.Ultimately, the noble distribution of his massive wealth will always be tarnished by the weasel-ish way he acquired it.
