Bill Gates Leaving His Fortune to Charity, Not His Kids
While being the child of Bill and Melinda Gates no doubt has its share of perks, financial security may not necessarily be one of them. Bill Gates has promised that he will leave his vast $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and not to his offspring.
Gates -- who is officially stepping down as the chairman of Microsoft next Friday -- said of the decision that he and his wife made, "We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact."
The money will go to fund educational and health projects around the globe, which is certainly a much more positive use than buying a yacht for the kids. [Source: Daily Mail]

Finally Bill and melinda looks like they going to own their own time.........
the 1st week, may be....... two weeks...........after the 3rd week if you are not bored see a doctor...or just go for the ultimate frontier......the human mind!, I know you have the capacity to do it. it is incredible to see how your software mimics
the human mind; the conscious mind, the screen yo have in front of you..
........ windows and ms2 play like the subconscious mind....memories and information process and interaction with the surround environment and finally in the background the unconscious mind in charge of he security antivirus like passwords and those popping windows that ask for permission to continue.... the only difference.....artificial intelligence is made up of silicon biological intelligence is made up of carbon
