You will be remembered for many generations in the future for your good intentions and what you have done to make this planet a better place to live.

Gates really showed why he's one of the richest man on planet earth,i remember he was saying something about baldness and so many rich people will rather put their money into finding a cure for baldness than invest in the eradication of MALARIA,which is claiming millions of lives all over Africa and beyond...Thanks Gate for spreading the News..

What a cool guy

[smogunner]

Gates just proved to me that he is one of the greatest minds in the world for engage in malaria cause.

Honestly, I read about this on a few news conferences, and it seems everyone was freaking out. So what if Bill released a "swarm" (totally over-blown) onto a laughing crowd. It seems as though people are more willing to complain about an inconvenience to themselves than about a disease that is destroying so much of the world. So what if it takes a little entropy to move people around -- at least he's doing something.

That whole stunt went over a lot better than the media portrayed it, I have to say.

Exactly, the crowd understood his point. It wasn't a bad thing at all. The media blows everything out of proportion.

I read Yahoo news and they said he released a "cloud" of mosquitoes into a crowd of people and that they were stunned! When I watch this video and compare it to the articles I read, it makes me think about how stupid and overrated the press and news makes everything sound. Everyone who watches the news or reads Yahoo's articles probably think that Gates is crazy! He isn't crazy, he's just making a point. The people in this video were even laughing...BEFORE he told them they were not infected!

NO bill .. no! ..Vista is already is full of bugs!

[ddeennpp]

He should have said, 'Start clapping some more. It's the only way to kill them around here, or else I'll fumigate the entire room.'
