Microsoft Talmud? Pitchu Li Shaarei Bill
Microsoft founder Bill Gates recently sent representatives to Bnei Brak to learn methods of the Gemora, the oral law which is studied at yeshivas, according to the Hebrew publication Day-to-Day. Microsoft officials visited the Achia yeshiva following Gates’s interest.
The yeshiva was offered the option of Microsoft’s investing in a computer program on Torah and the Talmud.
great. now i’m competing with bill gates. maybe he’ll buy me out.
Next on the agenda: a Talmud that freezes up inexplicably, gets infested with viruses and spyware, and inexplicably changes fonts and formatting with no advance warning. We should report Gates’s Talmudic interest to the ADL.
We’ll call it… Tosafot!
No more studying Talmud on Shabbos!
Google’d do it better, and give it away as a free download to match.
Yes, but then it would be perpetually in “beta”!
