- bawolff 6y agoThanks for linking. That was interesting. I only watched the first little bit, but I could understand how this could play badly for PR, but i'm pretty sympathetic to gates here. Seems like they want to use layman simplified definitions of tech concepts, then catch him up on technical nitty gritty.
- Gunax 6y agoClearly Gates sees where this is going: first ask him to agree to the definition, then reveal that the definition doesn't include 'viewing HTML' (or 'editing text files', or 'creating images' etc.). Of course we all know that dictionary definitions are meant to introduce someone unfamiliar to the topic, and not to enumerate every possible function. Using that logic I could say that 'cars don't have air-conditioning' since the definition of an automobile is "A self-propelled passenger vehicle that usually has four wheels and an internal-combustion engine".
