How I wish that Gates had failed in convincing Ballmer \ud83d\ude09 ).<br \/>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.)<br \/>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.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t mention the details.  I&#8217;d pursue you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/cgi-bin\/mailto\/x.cgi\">read it<\/a>. I hate to say, but Bill seems to be a bright candidate for my future plans (after he drops out of M$, of course).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I realized that the title of this post has a contrast with my previous post, only after I wrote the topic.
