Humodour Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Oh, the anti-vaxxers aren't going to be happy about this! This is probably one of the single biggest charity donations towards a single cause ever. And I like how tangible it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's not that hard being philantropic when you have made more money than you could spend in a lifetime, but yeah at least he's got the right idea.

If the anti-vaxxers can make even bigger fools out of themselves with this, I'll be happy. It is the single biggest donation towards a single cause ever. The foundation directs most of its attention to global health, education and agriculture in the third world and has committed more than $21 billion since it was established in 1994. The $10 billion commitment is the largest pledge ever made by a charitable foundation to a single cause CNN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 So does Steve Jobs ever do anything like this? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Apple just has the problem of having a name brand markup on all their products. But they can do it simply because they are kinda cornering the market. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Walsingham Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Given that most superbilionaires simply spend tehir money on massive yachts I think this shows a degree of common sense. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
