• Bill Gates wins me!

    I realized that the title of this post has a contrast with my previous post, only after I wrote the topic. Thus, I feel that it is obligatory to mention that I am still Anti-M$. I still do not support there business model. Phew!
    …and yes. The contrast in the names is just a mere coincidence. I know it’s tough to believe, but then I don’t lie.

    Now coming to the topic.
    I have always appreciated the way Bill Gates (and, of course, his wife) has spent time and money on Melinda Foundation. I remember posting my views a few days ago on Arpit’s blog.

    A few minutes ago, I read Bill Gates speech transcript that he delivered at Harvard.
    He starts the speech on a light note and calls himself a “bad influence” by reminding that he made Steve Ballmer drop out of B-School (Oh! How I wish that Gates had failed in convincing Ballmer ;) ).
    He continues his speech by talking about how ignorant he was about the socio-economic and health problems of the developing nations, when he joined Harvard (and even later.)
    The thing that blew me was that for the most part of his speech, he talked about how technology can and should be used for the help of these people.

    I won’t mention the details. I’d pursue you to read it. I hate to say, but Bill seems to be a bright candidate for my future plans (after he drops out of M$, of course).

      Probably because they are ignorant about all the *good* things that come with WP.
      …or may be they think that anything and everything that comes from Google camp is good.

      I can say that because I *used* to be a Google fan. Not anymore though. :)
