Nobel Prize Winner or Successful Businessman?
-
William (Bill) H. Gates is chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation, the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Microsoft had revenues of US$36.84 billion for the fiscal year ending June 2004, and employs more than 55,000 people in 85 countries and regions.
In his junior year, Gates left Harvard University to devote his energies to Microsoft, a company he had begun in 1975 with his childhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers. Gates' foresight and his vision for personal computing have been central to the success of Microsoft and the software industry.
Under Gates' leadership, Microsoft's mission has been to continually advance and improve software technology, and to make it easier, more cost-effective and more enjoyable for people to use computers. The company is committed to a long-term view, reflected in its investment of approximately $6.2 billion on research and development in the 2005 fiscal year.
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich and he began his schooling there at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.
Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (193Eight). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.
Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.
Who do you admire more?

I dun like to spend years on something which I dunno if it would eventually succeed.Albert Einstein really have faith... 
-
Brains of Einstein and money of Bill. None of their looks though.
-

Usually the ratio between scholar vs dropout in terms of monetary success is 1:4 -

[b]Who do you admire more? [/b] -
seriously, either one is good enuff.. if u have half the brains of einstein or half einstein's money, u pretty much dont have to worry about money... im sure einstein is pretty well off too... noble prize is a 1million dollars awards... plus so much guest lectures and university appointments.. ur salary is already many times more than any so called successful mlm agent is earning.. hahaa
-
u all know now there's something called the quantum computer..?
-
einstein. without him we wouldn't have the theory of relativity (both general and special). and those are fun to read about.
they would be very useful for interstellar travels in the future
not to mention E=mc²...nuclear power as a clean and abundant source of energy -
doesn't matter what, either one also good. both are top man in their own field.
-
i admire more of Albert Einstein without him bill gates is nothing although his software is the best but without phyiscs from Albert Einstein it's nothing... and Albert Einstein has a BIG brain
no Albert Einstein no computer no computer no software no software no Bill Gates
-
without einstein, we would have so much lesser stuff to learn in schoolOriginally posted by sgFish:einstein. without him we wouldn't have the theory of relativity (both general and special). and those are fun to read about.

and exams wont be that hard!!!! -
nuclear power clean? lmfao.Originally posted by sgFish:einstein. without him we wouldn't have the theory of relativity (both general and special). and those are fun to read about.

hybrid would be good
einstein's theory in school? which year?
by the way, he won nobel prize not because of relativity theory -
can I be leonardo Da Vinci instead?
-
although Bill Gates contribution to the IT world is undeniable, Albert Einstein is a far greater man den Gates.. he devoted his lifetime into his research not for the sake of fame & money but for the benefit of mankind & to the world of physics. Gates is jus businessman wif tremendous foresight, but how much does he contribute back to the society??
-
michael jackson should win the prize..he was the one who made plastic surgery famous..And gave hope to people wishing to change colour..
-
The odds of Bush grabbing the nobby was 1000-1, I'm sure MJ would have faired much better.
Einstein was and is (Lived on by his works) a genius. Gates too is a genius in his own right, and a very successful entrepreneur. Their works have influenced the way we see and do things, and have added to the betterment of mankind. So I guess admiration should be confered on both. -
Bill Gates of course
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-
I want to be Bill Gates' daughter.
Honeybunz Gates

i thought Einstein also a dropoutOriginally posted by Depressed...*sigh*:Haha, Bill gates getting fatter and fatter cause of the money he spends on food
Erm..still, Bill gates wins hands down.
Usually the ratio between scholar vs dropout in terms of monetary success is 1:4 
btw, Bill Gate is a dropout? He rather quit school early to realise his dream/ambition.
