Time Magazine has released it's "Person of the Year" issue, and the outcome is as surprising as it is obvious. Say what you will about Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and purveyor of crap operating systems, and his wife Melinda. While you'd think that several trash-filled versions of Windows would detract, apparently his charity work surpasses that by leaps and bounds. He is, after all, a very generous guy, and does give large sums to good, solid charities. They're joined this year by U2's Bono, himself a great humanitarian in his own right. Congratulations to the Gates and Bono! (
