Bill Gates owns an iPhone!

Since its inception the iphone has been the holy grail of nerds all over the world. And what bigger nerd is there than the proverbial father of all nerd Bill Gates. Even before this wonder of user friendly technology surfaced, there were questions about whether or not Bill owned a Mac.

My take: I’ve heard of rumors from both ends saying yes he owns one because he gets them for free or no he wouldn’t be caught dead with one, but I say he does. Not only that but I’m pretty sure that one where out there you can trace an iphone 3G to the big guy himself. Yes I know that’s sacrilegious to the pc loyalists out there while the Mac fanatics are sporting their typical smug grin, but come on! Do you really believe that Bill Gates would not at least use it for research? Granted he doesn’t do as much hands on r&d, but let’s not doubt for a second that he’s still got his hands in a thing or two. I mean what nerd alive could completely retire from nerdum?
This brings me to my last point, I just got an iphone for the first time the other day. It marks my first Apple product (not including itunes) since the black and green screen apple computers (you know, the ones way before Steve Jobs discovered the black turtle neck). And I have to admit, I love it. I was a big pc fan in the past, but I’m starting to wonder whether or not the saying is true, once you go Mac… It seems that pc complicates things while simplifying them and Apple simplifies them while complicating them. By that I mean Mac adds technology and uses that technology to make things easier to use, PC adds technology and uses a 500 page handbook to help you use it. A little off topic I know, but still a relevant argument I think. What do you guys think? Mac or PC?
