      UK Immigration Rules Would Exclude This Man

      Strict new immigration rules aimed at attracting highly skilled workers to Britain would keep tech icons Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Michael Dell from getting top-tier visas, Bloomberg notes, because they don't have college degrees.

      Investors Worry Dell's Road to Recovery is Too Rocky

      Computer-maker Dell’s rollercoaster ride isn’t over and it’s left investors woozy.
