Ouch

thumbdownBill Gates on Apple:

They had a hit with the Apple II, they had a hit with the Macintosh, and they have a hit with the iPod, so this is a company that’s had three hits…

***Edit***
You may remember this post where I said:

This [icon ()] is [for]when I hand out a “Thumbs Down” to a company or celebrity… you don’t want one of these, it follows you around, haunting you until you leave public life, a hollow, broken, shell of a man (or company.)

Well, check this out, Gates had a little trouble with is keynote the other day…

***Edit#2***
I might also point out that another recipient of my thumbs down, Larry Brown, can’t seem to get either of his teams (US Olympic Squad, or the Pistons) to perform up to their potential…

  2. Well, it’s factually true, if misleading. They have had three hits, plus more (though I’m not going to bother to think of any examples right now).
