The men for Four Seasons bid $3.7bn – Industry sectors – Times Online — Gates has already dabbled in the hotel game, now this. Interesting, no? Personally I think the money should be spent on fixing Windows!
Bill Gates and Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, two of the richest men in the world, have joined forces to launch a $3.7 billion (£2 billion) bid for Four Seasons Hotels, the Canadian luxury hotel chain.
The New York-listed company, which is controlled by the family of the Canadian billionaire Isadore Sharp, through his Triples Holdings investment company, said yesterday that it had received an offer of $82 a share from Mr Gates and Prince Alwaleed.
perhaps the new 4 seasons will have a windows pc in every room (complete w/ buggy OS, and bsod)
Gates Motel….Gates Motel…. sounds eerily familiar… oh wait thats the Bates Motel…
Both will bleed you dry!
OH…
Piggy, piggy, get your snout out of the trough! Piggy, piggy wealthy rich people… piggy, piggy, hire some more wetbacks to clean up after the lower piggy piggies that can afford to stay at your pigpen!
I’m guessing the AC won’t work in the summer, or will turn to heater mode when nothing else is going on…
… there will be big roaches in every room, the kitchen, the entryway, but everybody will stay there because that’s where everybody stays…
… and hackers from all over the world will get access to your credit card numbers over their network…
… and the cold water will be cold water, and the hot water will be cold water…
… and a bunch of dweebs will be standing outside the front doors, holding large signs, saying, “Linux 4 Seasonal” is free and has no roaches…
… and a place down the street will open called, “iSeasons”
Yep. That’s the nature of the universal multiversal creation of gh0d and the FSM. Get used to it, you’re stuck here, stupid munky!
Do they offer free bug spray? Or does that come with a subscription fee?
No, bug spray, tanning woof, hookas, BIC lightas… all extra…
I bet google buys the hotel down the street
No Google will provide room service at every hotel for free based on ad revenues from advertisements on the menu, napkins, trays, plates, silverware and place mats. Food vendors will Google pay to have menu items containing their products listed on the first page of the menu.
Perhaps he’ll move into a penthouse, and stop bathing, cutting his hair and fingernails, and eating odd diets. Of course that’s been done by a billionaire before, and Bill would never steal and idea.
8,
Yes, C. Montgomery Burns did lapse into that mode. He did recover and shave, but he kept the jars of urine.
Everybody knows to wait until the 4.1 Seasons Hotel opens before staying there.
Maybe he’s expecting that Microsoft stock will fall and this will be a hedge. Like when AOL bought Time-Warner.

You guys should get a sitcom deal…thanks for the chuckle!
Finally he can get a room in Vegas!
Open Mike is on Wednesday.
