Bill Gates found himself in the middle of a bizarre mix-up last week involving the British press and Prime Minister Tony Blair, but the Microsoft chairman ended up with the last laugh.
It all started at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, two weeks ago, where Gates participated in a panel that also included Blair and U2's Bono. After the session, a reporter for the London's Daily Mirror discovered a page of notes and doodles that the newspaper assumed were the work of the prime minister.

The doodler in Davos, Switzerland, was Bill Gates, left, not British Prime Minister Tony Blair, center. U2 lead singer Bono wasn't a suspect.
The newspaper called in a psychologist who conducted an extensive analysis of the doodles and concluded, among other things, that Blair was "struggling to concentrate and his mind is going everywhere, but he knows he will get to the bottom of the problems in time."
