Microsoft founder Bill Gates has banned all Apple products from his home -- but doesn't mean his wife doesn't still crave an iPhone.

So tell your husband to come up with his own version, Melinda. And make it available to every carrier and not just ATT.

I’ve often wondered why Jobs and Company haven’t come up with an Apple gaming system to rival the Xbox. Or have they and I’m horribly out of touch?

Good point. I suppose you can do serious gaming on the MAC anyway, and the game system people don’t do computers.
