Apropos: C|Net zamieścił ciekawy komentarz:
13. TOP TEN LIKELY RESPONSES TO THE GATES PIE INCIDENT
It's not every day that the world's richest man gets a pie
in the face. And we would be remiss if we let the Belgian
pie incident go by without a top ten list in its honor. So
herewith, the top ten likely Microsoft responses to Gates'
pie in the face:
10. Microsoft announces that Robert Lessig's fingerprints
were found on the pie plate.
9. Company plans 1999 release of "Visual Pie++ for Windows."
8. Microsoft waffles on release of Belgian version of
Windows 98.
7. Hostess fruit pies removed from Microsoft campus vending
machines (three days later, a hoard of pies is found in
Nathan Myhrvold's office).
6. Bill Gates has pie-proof "Popemobile" built for future
public appearances.
5. From now on, all new Microsoft CD-ROMs will be square,
because Gates "freaks out" when he sees flat circles.
4. New Microsoft game released: X-Wing vs. Pie Fighter.
3. Microsoft buys Mrs. Smiths Frozen Pie Company--and shuts
it down.
2. MS programmers no longer allowed to use value of pi when
programming vector-drawing algorithms.
1. After a lengthy investigation, Microsoft reluctantly
admits that the pie incident was staged by Wagner-Edstrom to
divert public attention from the DOJ hearings.
We are not making this up!
