Outlook 2010: Bill Gates' mugshot hidden in silhouette. - Hardware & Software

[quote="Neowin"]Outlook 2010 comes with a variety of new features, including the handy People Pane, which allows users to see an overview of the person (or entity) e-mailing them. Information such as appointments, recent e-mails, and a picture of the sender are available in the pane. Another nifty feature the Pane includes is the ability to use the Outlook Social Connector to populate contact information from senders you know from social networks such as Facebook. The connector compares your friends contact information from Facebook with the information stored in Outlook, and then sorts and adds the correct information to the People Pane appropriately. If the sender doesn't have a picture associated with them, or the available connector can't find one, a default silhouette is displayed instead. That default picture appears to be, humorously, a picture of Bill Gates with a few of the "finer details" removed. According to ArsTechnica, not only is the picture a silhouette of Gates, its from one of his not so bright moments after being arrested during a traffic stop in the 70's.

You can't help but think that the default picture on Facebook is now one of a drunken Mark Zuckerberg taken during a party he attended. Whatever the intention, users can now have a chuckle whenever they notice the default picture using the people pane in Outlook 2010.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.neowin.net/news/outlook-2010-jailbird-bill-gates-hidden-in-silhouette[/url] --------- Hahaha.

Oh wow, kudos to the guy that found that out.

That's pretty awesome

Nice, that's amazing. I wonder what happens if Bill emails you himself?

Awesomeness.

Nice find.

Regardless, I woudlnt mind trading wallets with him.

Probably found out by emailing Bill himself. And it was a perfect silhouette of the image.

[QUOTE=toxicpiano;25109025]he went to an exclusive private school and was a ruthless businessman, it's hardly surprising he's been so successful[/QUOTE] Ruthless? He also hacked his schools computers, so he could have extended time playing with them, since they had a time limit. Bill Gates is smart and nice, owning one of the most top fundraisers with his wife. He's a pretty cool guy.

Oh Bill, you so silly.

[QUOTE=ROBO_DONUT;25107725]He got where he is by being a ruthless inconsiderate jerk.[/QUOTE] And I love him for it. I'd love to become the richest man on earth by being a dick to anyone and everyone.

[QUOTE=POWA KILLERDeux;25119220]lol linux fanboys[/QUOTE] have you actually seen his business tactics? even a diehard ms fanboy will agree that gates got where he was by being a fucking dick.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;25119335]have you actually seen his business tactics? even a diehard ms fanboy will agree that gates got where he was by being a fucking dick.[/QUOTE] Ballmer is more of a dick than Gates. You have to agree with that. Infact, most of the dickish business tactics are done by Ballmer.

In this case, I must say, I agree with all the comments. He may be a very agressive businessman, but that doesn´t mean he hasn´t got a big brain and he, in fact, has one. What is more, how would you control your own business in a way that it doesn´t becomes ruthless? It´s a discussion of values and politics, frecuently discussed. Inspite all, somehow we end up talking about him. And that´s because he DID something, he created something he invented ! and that is great! In the other hand, I also believe he is very competitive and selfish because his invention has monopolized and has inhibited other brands competitivity But it makes me wonder is where to put the blame about that. Is this his fault or is he just an example of a bigger issue? In the way that, we can choose what we use, we can´t put the blame out there. Furthermore, though it may be hard to say, sometimes in money, war and love everything is made.

Hah, I wonder if Bill was in on it.
