Bill Gates Makes a Bold Twediction

Bill Gates: No one will ever have a need for Twitter.

From Wikiquote: Misattributed to Bill Gates

“640K ought to be enough for anybody.”

Often attributed to Gates in 1981. Gates considered the IBM PC’s 640kB program memory a significant breakthrough over 8-bit systems that were typically limited to 64kB, but he has denied making this remark:

“I’ve said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time … I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There’s never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.”

[We're so glad to be repeating it for all to hear!]

Awkward Family Story: The Liver Steak Incident

I was at my boyfriend’s house to have dinner with his family for the first time when I saw the liver steak. Let’s just say that is not my favorite food. The window was so clean that you couldn’t tell if it was open or not. Everybody left the dinner room to answer a call from grandma and I had the bright idea of throwing the liver out the window but my plan failed because the window was closed. Awkward.
