There was a report on Pacifica re Gates being charged with anti-trust
violations by the government. That is old news like the Archer Midland
Daniels price fixing scandal, but Gates has done far more. Charges
include that Gates stole software and other innovative business-building
ideas from competitors. He did this by picking their brains in business
meetings where there was some kind of mutual business promise, but then
would run home with the goodies and do his own version of these smaller
companies had developed.
How could such a socially revered capitalist (ha) do this to the
Americans who admire him so? Will the bubble be burst? Will his face
appear on Time Magazine as criminal of the year?
