Céline and.... Bill Gates

Buh-Bye Bill: Tech’s Heart Will Go On

 

Lots of people were bellyaching about the lackluster nature of Bill Gates’s final performance at CES last night–long on deals and stats and short on the futuristic predictions Gates often makes.

Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski was unimpressed, as were Duncan Riley of TechCrunch and ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, for example

 

But, to my mind, giving the Microsoft co-founder and chairman a hard time at this point is sort of like razzing Celine Dion, who coincidentally also just completed her own longtime run in Las Vegas in her Caesars Palace show, “A New Day.”

In other words, let’s just all admit that–as irksome as both have sometimes been–they do kind of grow on you after a while.

 

While that may be still debatable with Dion, I know, it is squarely the case with Gates, who has had the longest-running and most complicated relationship with the tech industry, even as he has dominated it for most of the past two-plus decades.

 

Gates’s impact will surely be chewed over in the history books in centuries hence–likely as not, always with the Yin to his Yang, Steve Jobs of Apple.

fans,

 

it is quite simple:

 

BILL GATES gave a really bad speech recently, and critics were not impressed. However, there is no point in criticizing him, much like CELINE DION, who, both, were able to pull off some pretty impressive business over the past few years (GATES, of course, generating billiions and billiions for microsoft, and DION accomplishing the huge feat that was A New Day... her show in LAS VEGAS).

 

Bottom line: people can diss them all they want, but these two people are both hugely successful and powerful. The author is basically comparing them in terms of LOVE-HATE and SUCESS.

 

Hope this makes things clearer for all.

Celine and Bill are better than all their critics combined. Enough said.
