Gates Scoffs; Onion Bites Man
Microsoft chief Bill Gates makes short work of the rumor that his company approached Google for talks related to "any acquisition thing." Apparently, you can't believe everything you read in the New York Times. Or is it you can't believe everything Bill Gates says? At this point, it's their word against his.
One can't help but enjoy the irony: the ads beneath that USA Today story quoting Gates are served by Google AdWords (anti-spam ads triggered by Gates' mention of a new anti-bulk-mail product being developed by Microsoft). Below and above all that, there's the usual hectoring attempt to sell us on the South Beach Diet. What kind of amazing targeting technology might be behind this one? All I know is that Gates' unflattering photo is runs within the article.
Moving onto a more credible journalistic source, The Onion produces a delicious send-up of a 30-year-old man whose mother discovers his weblog. To invoke technical-type terminology known to bloggers of all ages, "that's some funny shit."
