As you may be aware, the Davos conference for the super-rich and powerful is going on in Switzerland right now, and throwing all those egos into a room together can lead to some testy moments — like today, when Michael Dell asked Vladimir Putin how the US could help Russia improve its IT infrastructure. Putin’s response? “We don’t need help. We are not invalids. We don’t have limited mental capacity.” Saucy! Vlads followed up by pointing out that Russian scientists mainly focus on software, not hardware — interpreted by many as a further slap at Dell. Any bets on whether Mikey D replied by saying that if he were in charge, he’d shut Russia down and give it back the people?
