It's for Charidee

Via Macworld, comes this Wired opinion piece, which attacks Steve Jobs for not being more like Bill Gates, who (very publicly) gives millions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies via his charidee donations.

The implication is that Gates is a Good Egg, and that Jobs is a Bad Seed.

Several possibilities. Either Jobs doesn't bray publicly about any charidee donations he happens to make. Or Jobs is too intelligent to fall for the idea of charidee. Or Jobs doesn't give a cranberry (I'm using cranberry in place of another word).

I'm sure he pays his taxes, though. And if people think that's not enough, well, they should vote for politicians who want higher taxes for the rich. Squeeze them until the pips squeak, as a heavy-browed man once said.
