"No Apple products in my house"

This is a quote that has had the whole blogoshpere up in arms about.

Melinda Gates was recently interviewed in Vogue magazine and had some rather interesting things to say about her husband and the technology in her home.

According to Gates, both she and Bill have strict rules forbidding their children from having an iPod or iPhone.

"There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household," Gates tells Vogue. "But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids."

Talk about brand loyalty! If you think about it, it makes sense though. Say you run a fruit store, and your competition is right across the street. One day, your child runs across the street and buys an orange. When confronted, all he says is, "But those oranges are shinier and everyone buys them." Ouch. That's a punch right to your gut.

Hence why in the Gates household, there is a zune in every room.
