“Microsoft will not launch a product that competes directly with Apple’s iPhone, Chairman Bill Gates said in an interview with Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,” Michael Shields reports for Reuters.
“‘No, we won’t do that. In the so-called smart phone business we will concentrate solely on software with our Windows Mobile program,’ Gates was quoted as saying,” Shields reports.

Aww, no Phune. That’s okay, Microsoft provides us more than enough to ridicule already.
Chrissys-in-crisis! Oh my!!
Flame war! Everybody duck!!
@ChrissyOne
Deal!
Not good at stopping? You mean this banter, or shaving? ‘Cause if the latter I have some back-hair too! You wouldn’t have to stop at the butt since you are not good at stopping!
Microsoft has a history of saying they wont do something and then announce a product (not finished).
@ ChristopherOne
“You mean this banter, or shaving?”
They both become rather addictive.
“Flame war! Everybody duck!!”
In the way that Germany vs. Belgium is a war, maybe.
C1… could you shave it to look something like this?
@ Petey
Bill is just trying to lure Apple into a false sense of security.
Okay… and even stronger sense of security.
…
Okay, maybe not.

N I C E !
OK, call me. My number is KLondike 5-LOVE.
@ Sanctimonious Blowhard
(shudder)
That’s why I like cycling.
@ ChristopherOne
You live in Springfield?!?
@Sanctimonious Blowhard
I am not that hairy.
Any more…
@ChrissyOne
Um, sure. But what State?
@ ChristopherOne
trivia:
It’s Oregon.
@C1, actually.. that was a picture of C2
I want a name shortener too!
ChrissyOne = C1
ChristopherOne = Ch1
OK?!?!?!?!
Puleeeeeeeeeeease!
@ChrissyOne
I thought you were making a Simpson’s reference. No?!?!
ChrissyOne you are a fake. You are MDN. You have yet to provide any proof whatsoever that this beleif is wrong. MDN has yet provided no proof at all as to who it actuall is. Given the number of PC ads on here it is probably a front for Dell!
I was. And it’s Oregon.
@ ChrissyTwo
ChrissyTwo: “Get and education MDN.”
Ouch! Sounds like C2 needs to get an edumacation.
@Chrissytwo…
“I used to post under John, which is my name, but someone else registered it and I cant use it anymore…”
did you say the three words correctly?
klatu…. verata….. nikto!
@ChrissyOne
That is where they live! Hrmpf. I had no idea. I saw the movie and the episode (I have seen all the episodes up ’til a couple years ago) that showed Homer and family looking at a map with nearly every state X’d out (states they were banned from) and I thought Oregon was one of ’em?!?! No?!?!
I need to find that episode…
@Sanctimonious Blowhard
Did you mean: “Klaatu barada nikto”?
I still say you shoulda snagged the sign C1. I mean really. How good is targets security anyways?
@ ChristopherOne
Well, it may not be ‘official’ Simpsons canon trivia. It’s just where Matt is from.
