The current issue of Forbes has yet another example of how incredibly dumb Bill Gates has been in the past with regard to understanding what is big in technology.

He apparently totally dismissed the idea of spread spectrum (i.e. - more or less the whole everything of Qualcomm).

This is in addition to using the word "Internet" something like only once in one of his books (written after Netscape was a known entity) (known by those of us who have a brain, and can observe the world around us).

Here is the link to the Forbes article (I think Forbes' website is set up so that it is difficult or impossible to copy and paste text).
