Facts About Bill Gates
So I was searching for some information about the “man”, and found this funny information, its a list of how rich is Mr.Bill Gates and come to think of it, Gates sure is the luckiest man of earth. He has all the money in the world and why Mr.Gates did not register his own domain name for www.billgates.com, now we know why Mr.Gates is no match for Google. So much for the title “King of Computers”
1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
2. If he drops a thousand dollars, he won’t even bother to pick it up because during the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back.
3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion dollars, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.
6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
7. If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes , you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth.But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven.
Last but not the least the best one!!
9. If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years.
Windows Media Player 11
Another boring update to the new Windows Media Player 11, from what I understand is that there are only minor changes in this new version. Some of the key features are:
-
– Highly simplified navigation capabilities, enhanced shortcut options, and dedicated category views for all media types, including music, photos and video
– Better access to content with deep integration of services that blurs the line between online service and media player experiences
– Industry-first audio fingerprinting capabilities that recognize and import track information for unidentified or misnamed audio files
– New formats for ripping and music playback, including Windows Media Audio Professional and WAV Lossless
Not very impressive but what is unique about this WM11 is the new URGE feature, unlike iTunes this WM11 allows 3rd party portable player to sync with Windows Media. I like Microsoft’s “open standard” but could not understand why Steve Jobs simply refuse to open up iTunes to other players. Its a matter of time before Apple’s iTunes die a slow death like how Macintosh was squash by Windows the same way. You are required to validate your personal copy of Windows XP before Microsoft feeds you the secret link to download WMP 11.
The world’s largest software company has instead focused on continuing to sell more software to businesses, on competing with Sony and Nintendo in games, on security, and on emerging threats to its business model from web-based services such as Google and open-source software such as Linux.
