Forbidden fruit: Bill Gates' kids banned from Apple gadgets
TeleGraph : Melinda Gates, the wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, has said her children are banned from owning Apple products such as an iPod.
(Apple, Bill Gates, Culture, Gadgets)
really ? they are "getting fat" from the wealth amassed by their parents by fighting against a rival , and the way to show gratitude would be to use said bitter rivals' products , especially in public for everyone to see ?
bad parenting, i would hate my parents if they did that to me. a parent is not supposed to decide how you live your life but teach you how to make the right decisions. a parent who decides for you even the kind of electronics you are or not allowed to use is doing it wrong you are supposed to decide stuff like that for your self to build your personality and personal preferences. chances are his children would grow to be insecure geeks like their father
They are helping people around the world. That's far better mentoring than arguing with your child what type of phone they can have.
You're spot on, he is right now trolling the forums to see what people at home eating Dorito's and wearing sweatpants have to say about his insecurities.
The way i see it why would anyone want a apple device over a windows device anyway? Especially with windows 8 rt n pro and windows phone 8 being out now they offer alot more than any apple device and have the same build quality.
does that mean they have to get zunes? poor kids. ^_^
seriously though, seems like a bit of a ridiculous restriction to place on your kids. i mean enforcing your business rivalry onto your kids like that seems kind of petty to me.

you're bashing the parents because they won't allow their kids to have a gadget? a gadget that has tons of other alternatives?
it seems as though you're the insecure one.
Or do you imagine the kids of Real Madrid football team's owners parading around with a Barcelona jersey ?
your parents are not the ones competing with Apple are they?
poor kids. ^_^

I'd give somebody $500 to get me one, then be secret and sneaky about it and only use the "normal" phone around mom and dad.
