Bill Gates quote: "My success comes from my ability to embrace and expand the ideas of others." Chomsky quote: "Bill Gates. He is a parasite. All he has to add to that is that he's a parasite off the public sector. Because, in fact, almost everything that he does, whether it's computers or the internet or anything else, are things that the ordinary person paid for. Think of the internet. That's thirty years of development, inside the public sector, mostly out of the pentagon. All of the ideas, the technology, the hardware, the software, everything. Finally, just two or three years ago it's given over to Bill Gates. And that's called a victory of the market."
