That's right folks, the world's richest man aka. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has indeed joined Twitter! The PC pioneer posted his first ever tweet about four hours ago:

@BillGates "Hello World." Hard at work on my foundation letter - publishing on 1/25.

His profile sports Twitter's 'Verified Account' badge, indeed confirming he's the real deal. This has also been backed up by Twitter's own @caroline in recent tweets. So what you waiting for? (Except some serious traffic!) Give some entrepreneurial lovin' to Mr. Billy G himself, and don't forget to follow up G-star CEO Mr. Eric S Word up!

Flash back a decade to the year 2000, the Y2K bug was set to cause havoc in the world of tech. Devices were predicted to malfunction, cash machines shut down and computers to explode and destroy all of humanity! Ten years on and the panic of the day is almost laughable. Well, unless your a Windows Mobile user that is!

WMExperts are reporting that some Smartphones have been affected by a bug that set in late Thursday night causing messages sent after 1/1/2010 to be dated as received in 2016. WM users have been quick to address the issue with this temporary .cab fix which uses 'your device time instead of the SMS gateway server' to correctly display the date the message was received.

Although this problem has been been primarily reported by WM 6.1 and 6.5 users it may affect other similar devices in the same way.

Back in May the news broke that Microsoft had lost a patent infringement suit regarding Word's handling of .xml, .docx and .docm files, meaning the only thing keeping their flagship office suite in sale was the chance that the appeal might go in their favour.

As Microsoft have lost the suit against 'XML specialists' i4i again, as it stands they are not authorized to sell Word and thus the entire Office suite is barred from sale starting January 11.
