Woof-woof... (mrreow?)



Found this via a rumour that Bill Gates (seen in the pics above) had posed for Tiger Beat magazine (as if!). However, this updated info from Gizmodo sez not-so:

[Those] are not from Tiger Beat. According to snopes.com, these images are actually publicity photos taken of the then 30-year-old Bill Gates coincident with the initial release of Microsoft Windows in 1985. The Corbis photo archive identifies their depiction thusly: "Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA."...

Oh sigh of relief. Not from Tiger Beat-- well, jeeebus I sure feel better now, don't you? Make it go away please... please.
