As though Bill Gates retiring is unfathomable
OMG! After 30 years as the face of Microsoft, why on Earth would Bill Gates want to retire?
What the H E double hockey sticks? Don’t most people want to retire after working for 30 years? Isn’t that the reason people put money into retirement accounts? There’s a lot of personal finance bloggers out there “socking away” (that’s a PF term) as much money as possible in the hopes of retiring early. Considering Gates could have retired 10 years ago and been fine, why is it such a surprise and/or shock that he’d want to retire now?
This cover borders on being the People or OK! magazine for computer geeks. I hope there’s some real news in the magazine, but the pharmaceutical RFID and outsourcing articles aren’t really luring me in.

You’re right. This is a silly story. I also feel bad for the guy who was submitting all those stories headlined “Bill Gates Still Worth Billions, Goes to Work Anyway, WTF Is Up With That??”
I am wishing him a happy retired life
