via PC World Who knew that Bill Gates like himself some “Tool Academy.” I’m a little disappointed, though. I pegged him more as an “I Love Money” kinda reality fan. Anyways, check out the snarky message from good ole’ Steve Jobs. Click on the picture below to see the full version in all its glory.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009
In a shocking revelation, Melinda Gates recently revealed in an interview with Vogue magazine that the Gates children aren’t allowed to use iPods or iPhones. There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. But iPods and iPhones are two things we don’t get for our kids. I can just [...]
