Flashback: Bill Gates Vs. Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley

In anticipation of Bill Gates’ and Steve Jobs’ first onstage appearance together in ten years, I bring you their most heated encounters as depicted in the 1999 docudrama Pirates of Silicon Valley.

This is going to get nasty.

PC World Reinstates Honest EIC, Dumps Apple-Shill CEO

In a triumph of editorial integrity over corporate greed, PC World reinstates its veteran editor-in-chief and removes its Apple-shill CEO.

In a surprise reversal, IDG management removed Colin Crawford as PC World’s CEO and reinstated Harry McCracken as Editor in Chief, after a dispute over a canceled Apple story led McCracken to quit.

Crawford, meanwhile, is being kicked back upstairs, assigned to “driving IDG’s online strategy and initiatives” — a nice, safe, strategic role where he can’t do any more harm to the company’s editorial reputation.

Crawford used to take calls from Steve Jobs whenever the latter had a problem with a PC World article. Good riddance to bad garbage.
