kanya kanya diskarte yan eh
it's really good PR when you say you're gonna give away your wealth. that's what Buffett did
but the devil is in the details
Buffett didnt give Gates' foundation cash
Buffett pledged the foundation approx. 10 million Berkshire Hathaway B shares (staggered, yearly)
ang condition ni Buffett dapat control ni Bill and Melinda ang foundation
if for some reason they no longer control the foundation, Buffett's contribution stops
that means Buffett trusts only Gates. nobody else

Steve Jobs thanking Bill Gates publicly for his financial help. That's a BIG THING for the egotistical Apple founder.
Of course, unsecured loans in an emergency situation for a Dying company would require certain conditions. That's SMART BUSINESS.
Apple had run out of cash, had ugly products, and poor sales in 1997. Which meant only one thing...Bankruptcy.

What Job's think of Microsoft...
Mr. Jobs castigated competitors, particularly Microsoft. Bill Gates’s company, which dwarfed Apple in power and wealth during the 1980s and 1990s, was not even described as second rate; it was deemed third-rate. Worse, it was not even trying.
“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste,” Mr. Jobs said in a typical broadside. “They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products.”
