Doug Jones writes: A PC World.com article reads: “Could Bill Gates really be the devil? Some competitors may have thought so for years, but now Google seems to think so too.
Currently, if you type “go to hell” into the Google search engine–you have to include the quotation marks–the No. 1 search result is Microsoft’s home page. (For what it’s worth, AOL.com comes up as No. 3, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill comes in at No. 6.)
When asked about the devilish search result, Google spokesman Nate Tyler said it’s an anomaly that Microsoft ranks ahead of even Hell.com, not to mention AOL and UNC.”
Interestingly, searching on “Gates of Hell” pulls up Microsoft as entry number 4. Clearly, they’re very closely integrated with Hell.
