In order to celebrate the 2000th MorphOS registration, we'd like to thank our users for their support since the introduction of the MorphOS 2.0 in 2008. Since MorphOS 2.4, we've been expanding our hardware base to a variety of Apple PowerPC computers, including their excellent portables. The adoption rate of the Mac mini quickly surpassed the bPlan machines, and the Mini still remains the most popular MorphOS platform.

Quoted from link

"Bill Gates is not the philanthropist he pretends to be. The  Gates  Foundation has an endowment of $30 Billion making it the largest   philanthropic organization in the world.  But one third of that money is   invested in companies whose practices run counter to the foundation’s   supposed charitable goals and social mission. In Niger, the  Foundation  has invested more than $400 million dollars in oil companies  including  Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp, and Chevron. These firms  have  been responsible for much of the pollution causing respiratory  problems  and other afflictions among the local population. The  Gates Foundation also has investments in sixty-nine of the worst  polluting companies in the US and Canada, including Dow Chemical.


 It holds investments in pharmaceutical companies whose drugs cost far   beyond what most patients around the world can afford and the Foundation   often lobbies on behalf of those companies for "Intellectual Property"   protections that make obtaining low cost medicines more difficult.  Other  companies in the Foundation’s portfolio have been accused of  forcing  thousands of people to lose their homes, supporting child labor  and  defrauding and neglecting patients in need of medical care. In the  mean time, Bill Gates' net worth has gone from $50 Billion to $70 Billion over the last 3 years."

I'm no fan of Gates nor some of the practices of his foundation but let's compare him to Jobs.

One of the first things he did when returning to Apple was to cancel all charitable contributions permanently. Even when sitting on the largest cash reserves that any company has had in history.

Classy guy and about as far from the teachings of Buddha (Who he claimed to be a follower of) as one could be.
