He famously refuses to allow his children to own any Apple products. But Microsoft founder Bill Gates might want to closely check what mobile phone his 15-year-old daughter Jennifer uses. The teenager was photographed clutching what looks suspiciously like an Apple iPhone during a hike?in Sydney, Australia, earlier this week.
微軟的創(chuàng)始人比爾-蓋茨向來(lái)反對(duì)自己的家人使用蘋(píng)果公司的產(chǎn)品。不過(guò)，蓋茨應(yīng)該去檢查一下他15歲的女兒有沒(méi)有陽(yáng)奉陰違。本周早些時(shí)候，蓋茨一家在澳大利亞悉尼度假時(shí)，其大女兒被記者拍到使用疑似蘋(píng)果iPhone的手機(jī)。

The news will come as a shock to the billionaire computer tycoon, who only permits his three children to use Microsoft equivalents such as the Zune music player. Jennifer was caught out while she hiked with her mother Melinda on Wednesday. Rivalry between Microsoft and Apple is notoriously fierce and has become particularly competitive in recent years as the pair fight it out for dominance of the electronics market.

Mr Gates, who founded the computer software company Microsoft in 1975, is the second richest man in the world, behind Mexican businessman Carlos Slim. He lost the number one spot last year after giving away $28billion to charity. His personal fortune is now said to stand at $56billion. Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, just outside Seattle, Washington, have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible. In spite of their wealth, the Gates children have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.
