Anyway, I cleaned up the Bill Gates article a bit - let me know you
think :).

It gives far, far too much weight to a superficial
caricature that sometimes
appears in yellow rags. The body of the article also reminds me in places of
a Citizen Kane-style caricature--I almost expect it to come complete with
sentences like "So onward marches the progress of the planet's greatest
plutocrat!"
The article downplays some of the major facts of Gates' career. IBM and
MSDOS are not mentioned. The word "antitrust" is not present in the article.
There is no mention of the fact that Gates founded Corbis, now owner of the
largest digital image collection in the world. It's still crap.
Time to say what should have been said to Nicholas Carr in the first place:
