Bill Gates has today unveiled his latest toy that he believes will take him one-step-closer to all that money he doesn't have in his swanky Swiss Bank Account, and more importantly, he believes that this will take him one-step-closer to total World Domination as the all-wealthy Master of the World!
The Billion Dollar Man has unveiled his latest product to come from the ever-growing MS range, the 'Microsoft X-Boy'.
"X-Boy??" I hear you cry. "Surely you mean that massive X-Box thing that's been around since March over here and hasn't sold SQUAT!?"
Yes, and no. The X-Boy is entirely different to the X-Box, which is a high-powered DVD-playing Games Console with an 8Gig Hard Drive and the capabillities to go on-line in the near future.
Where-as the X-Boy on the other hand is basically, a giant robot.
If you thought the X-Box was big... you ain't seen nothing yet!
Believe me, this makes the 'giant' X-Box appear as something no bigger than the average concrete breeze-block used to construct the average building - just like the Empire Gates Building in the USA, brought-out and re-named by Billion Dollar Bill and his 'persuasive' ways.
Anyway..., back to the X-Boy...
What good could possibly come from owning a giant Robot then???
This was one question that popped-up every now and again at this mornings' Press Conference at the EGB, and here's what old Gatesy boy had to say:
"Milions have been put into this project, millions. And that's just in the research alone! I have faith in this latest product, and I have faith that you, as my loyal subjects, um... er..., I mean fans....!! That you will be more than grateful after purchasing a product of sheer size and value."
"Now before you all come running-up to ask me, yes, this is the type of Robot that will solve all your problems for you. Kids, are you fed-up with all those Maths Problems you're given to solve night-after-night?? Thanks to the X-Boy, you'll be able to run-off and play Baseball while the X-Boy does all that hard work for you! And it's all thanks to its built-in Super Computer.
What's the matter mom? Can't be bothered with the Laundry?? Have no fear! Just open-up it's central area and a Washing Machine/Tumble Dryer is at your disposal. Just like *CLICK*-that!
Traffic Trouble?? Just call-up your own personal X-Boy using the Official X-Boy Controller (included) and the bot will come running to your rescue to clear the streets and your road-to-work."
"All you have to do is ask, and task X is done for you!"
Mr.Gates has been known in the past as a rather evil, tight-fisted man with nothing but control on his mind, in the past. But with the announcement of this new accesory, it seems that along with the X-Box, evil isn't on his mind this time...!
Although, questions are being asked as murmours and muttering around the building began to rise-up in their levels when they saw the simillarities in some of the things it could do, when compared with all things evil we have seen in the past, in the Video Games world alone.
But who cares - seems like a great deal afterall!
Maybe Gatesy is a nice guy afterall??
