Melinda Gates Tells UK Radio About Family Ban on Apple Products

[p05esto]

My house is anti-Apple as well, my kids could beg all year long and no way in hell would I bring that crap and iTunes into my house. NO WAY. You have to teach kids about open standards, DRM, easy of use, good use of money, better features, etc..... all things that Apple products fail at. Anyone who truly knows tech does not use Apple products, I've said that for years and it still holds true.

I can see it being a MUCH bigger deal for someone like the Gates, vs joe consumer. Nobody cares what you or I use, but if Steve Jobs had pulled out an Android phone, for example, it would have caused a frenzy. Same deal here.[/citation]
Steve Wozniak stated last year that he wishes his iPhone "did all the things [his] Android does." He then proceeded to bag on Siri.

There's two things I will never allow in my house: Residents with apple products and morons that wear their pants below their ass.
Non-residents with apple products are welcome as long as their pants completely cover their ass and they leave with the iDiot products they came with.

I don't like Apple, but a family ban is ridiculous...

Grow up Mr. Gates and stop mingling with the disgusting eugenics movement
