Bill Gates To Retire
I guess his 50 billion dollar stockpile is sufficient enough to get him through his golden years. Last week, Bill Gates announced that he would be retiring from Microsoft in July of 2008.In a letter to his employes, Gates had this to say:
"For these last 31 years, I've had the best job in the world. I've worked with some of the brightest and most passionate people in the world. Together, we've built a great company whose products have empowered people around the world."
Gates, who co-founded Microsoft, was the quintessential high school nerd who got bone-jarring “noogies” every day at lunch by bullies. Now, he will be retiring as the richist man in the world... sans noogies.
What does Gates have to look forward to in retirement? Here's a few ideas:
- invest in an updated more trendy wardrobe (we hope)
- do some gardening at his 67,000 square foot home
- get lasik treatment and lose the glasses
- start a yacht war with Oracle founder Larry Ellison (Ellison currently has the longest yacht in the world at over one and a half football fields)
The only question left is what should Microsoft employees get his for a retirement gift? Kareem Abdul Jabbar got rocking chairs as a farewell send-off from the NBA. What would you get Bill Gates, the man who has everything?

After such a high profile career spanning over 3 decades, Hasselhoff has partaken in many a cheesy photo shoot. In Hoff's defense, most of the embarrassing photos below were taken during the 1980's or in Europe. That almost provides a loose excuse for most of these photos. But many of them are still very questionable and a few actually are quite disturbing. 
Want
to upgrade the RAM in your
Mac Mini? You can definitely save a few bucks by buying a stripped

can install that extra RAM, you'll need to take a walk down to
your local hardware store and grab a couple putty knives.

Framing Hanley have certainly come a long way in a very short time. First formed in 2005, the band posted demos of their songs on MySpace.com. Two years later thier debut LP, The Moment, was released August 2007. Not bad for a bunch of guys barely out of high school.

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
