Just goes to show how immature some people can be. If you dont like the company dont buy from them but resorting to such vigilante tactics is lame.

Yeah, but Gates is one of those white-collar crooks that will never be brought to justice because he lines US politician's (of both parties) pockets. It's ridiculous that we threw Martha Stewart in the slammer while this guy's company is lying, cheating, and stealing. Someone had to give him what he deserves!

Can you provide one shred of proof of Bill Gates giving money to a politician for political favors?

What struck me as scary was what if that guy had a gun or knife instead of a pie? Bill Gates would have REALLY gotten it.

You bet I can:

I don't think he's demanding any particular favors, just spreading enough cash around to make politicians think twice about going after them.
