No, Bill Gates has his /own/ name in The INQ.
Ballmer is the 'shy' guy.
Scientists are 'boffins'
Sony is the 'maker of exploding batteries [and bad rootkits, sometimes]'.
They actually an article about real voles recently. And they have added
comments about a months ago, along with meaningful URLs, which make it look
more like like a bog [sic, INQ speak].
It's an amusing publication, but also notorious for being tabloid/gutter
press-style.
