Can you name some companies in which he has stocks ? He is doing something good. Appreciate it if you can. And hopefully you know that he has promised to give away most of his wealth to charity.

Well, I would anyways want you to substantiate your claim that bill gates has shares in those drug companies and that he is actually making more money from investing in those companies than the charity he is giving away on those drugs.

Do not allow newly created accounts to create new threads

The figures for india are wrong too. You need to pay only 1 months basic pay to fire an full time employee or you can ask them to leave after one month without paying them any extra money other than the salary for that month.

Re:Xobni for mobiles on Saturday December 29, 2007 @08:36AM (#93470)
Thanks Darren. I missed this out completely. I was only targeting smart phones. Although I would still build the software for smart phones, I think I should provide a web interface for the rest. What say?

"I think I could do the whole thing myself in a couple days, so it wouldn't be a HUGE deal." If you really think so, do it without telling it to them on some weekend or when you have time and show it to them.
