Since Benjamin Linus appeared on the scene in Lost (Season 2 I think) I have been convinced it's a nod towards Bill Gates. For one the actor (Michael Emerson) has that Bill Gates look about him, with the glasses and everything... theres that air of "supposed" evil as well. Plus look at his name, "Ben Linus"... Linus, the name of the inventor of Linux, the old competitor of Microsoft's Windows. And is Ben just a swift change from Bill?
I suppose you could sniff and see ? Wasn't Mr Gates supposed to be somewhat pongy ?
