William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington) is an American business magnate, computer programmer and philanthropist. Gates is the former chief executive officer (CEO) and current chairman of Microsoft, the world’s largest personal-computer software company he co-founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third; in 2011 he was the wealthiest American and the second wealthiest person. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with 6.4 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Plot
On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.

Sean Parker: Drop the "The." Just "Facebook." It's cleaner
Mark Zuckerberg: You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg: As for any charges stemming from the breach of security, I believe I deserve some recognition from this board.::Ad Board Chairwoman: I'm sorry?::Mark Zuckerberg: Yes?::Ad Board Chairwoman: I don't understand.::Mark Zuckerberg: Which part?
Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?::Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.::Gage: Do you think I deserve it?::Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at Gage] What?::Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?::Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.::Gage: Okay - no. You don't think I deserve your attention.::Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.::[pauses]::Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
K.C.: Seven different people spammed me the same link.::KC's Friend: What is it?::K.C.: I don't know, but I'm really hoping it's cats that look like Hitler, because I can never get enough of that.
Erica Albright: You called me a bitch on the Internet, Mark.::Mark Zuckerberg: That's why I wanted to talk to you.::Erica Albright: On the Internet.::Mark Zuckerberg: That's why I came over.::Erica Albright: Comparing women to farm animals.::Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't end up doing that.::Erica Albright: It didn't stop you from writing it. As if every thought that tumbles through your head was so clever it would be a crime for it not to be shared. The Internet's not written in pencil, Mark, it's written in ink. And you published that Erica Albright was a bitch, right before you made some ignorant crack about my family's name, my bra size, and then rated women based on their hotness.::Reggie: Erica, is there a problem?::Erica Albright: [Turning to talk to Reggie] No, there's no problem.::Erica Albright: [Turning back to face Mark] You write your snide bullshit from a dark room because that's what the angry do nowadays. I was nice to you, don't torture me for it.::Mark Zuckerberg: If we could just go somewhere for a minute.::Erica Albright: I don't want to be rude to my friends.::Mark Zuckerberg: Okay.::Erica Albright: Okay.::[pauses for a moment]::Erica Albright: Good luck with your video-game.
Mark Zuckerberg: I went to my friend for the money because that's who I wanted to be partners with. Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.::Gage: Your best friend is suing you for six hundred million dollars.::Mark Zuckerberg: [Sarcastically] I didn't know that, tell me more.
Erica Albright: You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole.
Eduardo Saverin: They're saying, the Winklevoss twins are saying that you stole their idea.::Mark Zuckerberg: I find that to be a little more than mildly annoying.::Eduardo Saverin: Oh? Well, they find it to be intellectual property theft. Why didn't you show this to me?::Mark Zuckerberg: [flippantly] It was addressed to me.::Eduardo Saverin: They're saying that we stole theFaceBook from Divya Narendera and the Winklevosses.::Mark Zuckerberg: [trying to grab the letter out of Eduardo's hands] I know what it says!::Eduardo Saverin: Did we?::Mark Zuckerberg: Did we what?::Eduardo Saverin: Don't screw around with me now. Look at me!::Mark Zuckerberg: [Mark begrudgingly looks up at him]::Eduardo Saverin: The letter says we could face legal action.::Mark Zuckerberg: No, it says I could face legal action.::Eduardo Saverin: This is from a lawyer Mark, they must feel they have some grounds.::Mark Zuckerberg: The lawyer is their father's house council!::Eduardo Saverin: Do they have grounds?::Mark Zuckerberg: The grounds are our thing is cool and popular and HarvardConnection is lame! Wardo, I didn't use any of their code, I promise. I didn't use anything! Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair, okay? They came to me with an idea, I had a better one.::Eduardo Saverin: Why didn't you show me this letter?::Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't think it was a big deal.::Eduardo Saverin: [sighs before sitting down beside Mark] Okay, if there's something wrong. If there's ever anything wrong, you can tell me, I'm the guy that wants to help. This is OUR thing. Now, is there ANYTHING that you need to tell me?::Mark Zuckerberg: [very pointedly] No.
Plot
An animated short film called "Nintendo: Oldschool Revolution" dominated the Ifilm.com charts (the biggest independent film site in the world) with over 250,000 hits in 10 days. Created by Larry Longstreth and animator Jacob Drake, the film has struck a nerve with the fans of today's more violent games, and it has revived old memories of a time long passed to the gamers of yesteryear. Starting with the death of Mario and featuring characters from every system and generation, the film takes a deep look at the violence in today's games that has replaced the silly fun of a generation lost.

Plot
On April 3rd, 2000, the United States government declared Microsoft an illegal monopoly. On April 4th, 2000, Bill Gates launched the Gates-trix virus. Life, as we know it, ended. Dio Blanderson was living a Windoze-induced nightmare he may have never woken from, if not for a handful of ragtag anti-Gates freedom fighters. The fate of the world now rests in the hands of the only people left uninfected by the Gates-trix virus: the people so dumb they've never touched a computer. Can hick rebel leader "Memphius," cheerleader "Vanity," and jock "Jock" train Dio in time to defeat Bill Gates before he downloads Windoze Infinity and assimilates the entire human race? Not if Gates's henchman, evil virus hunter Norton, can help it. Because in the Gates-trix, "free range humans" are the only virus.
