The Microsoft founder both praises and criticizes his Apple rival in a new interview.

The Microsoft MSFT, -0.07% co-founder laid the magic metaphors on pretty thick during a special episode of CNN host Fareed Zakaria’s “GPS” show on Sunday, which delved into leadership, and lessons that leaders in business and politics have learned about managing other people.

He admitted that he and his “mostly male” workforce were “intense” and worked long hours early in Microsoft’s rise. But when asked about his leadership style compared to that of his late Apple AAPL, -2.06% rival Steve Jobs, Gates not only referred to “the bad parts of Steve, of at times being an a------,” but the bookworm billionaire seemed to take a page from Harry Potter in comparing himself and Jobs to wizards.

He cited the NeXT, Inc. computer company that Jobs started when he first left Apple as an example. It failed in the sense that it was expensive and didn’t sell well to the higher education and research labs it targeted toward. But it was also paved the way for “some [Apple] products that are really quite amazing,” Gates said.

Gates is a COWARD who ENJOYS talking behind someone’s back. He made a fortune doing just that and now that very same MENTAL DISEASE has got so bad that he is going after the dead. He knows the dead are a safe bet for his STUPID game

Bill Gates has not given enough money 💰 for worthy causes.

Halo and Flight Simulator were the only Microsoft programs that weren’t shit

Most evolving companies like Apple and Microsoft don’t know for years if failure or success occurs tomorrow. There are no silver bullets strategically or procedurally from an MBA perspective but the key people are the platinum ingredients. Bill & Steve—both from outer space.

Somewhat telling that BillGates describes interactions with the public as 'casting spells'.

He stressed about intensity and how Steve pushes people beyond his own expectation

Is Bill Gates really this MENTALLY RETARDED that he with all that money truly vouches for superstitions and old wives' tales? The FEAR of losing ones wealth due to old age and poor memory drives such characters AWAY FROM the Path of WISDOM.

engineers are the wizards of the modern age. if it weren't for them you'd be posting this on the wall behind your local K-Mart.

unsurprising: bill gates looks, talks, and acts like a dork

Put the billionaires, and their families that conspire with them, under house arrest in the nations of the world! GREEDYGRINCHES

Minimum wage bill would eliminate 1.3M jobs, CBO saysThe Congressional Budget Office says raising the minimum wage to $15 would eliminate 1.3 million jobs nationwide, while giving 17 million workers raises and lifting families out of poverty. The Democratic-sponsored bill in question would phase in $15/hr over 5 years and eliminate lower minimum wages allowed for tipped workers, workers with disabilities and workers younger than 20. Roughly half of the laid-off workers would be teenagers This purported job loss which the GOP loves to fear-monger with, has NOT occurred in any of the many states that increased the state minimum wage (notably California, Oregon). And yet, the world didn’t end on any of the other occasions where the minimum wage was raised.
