This is a nice write up from Dana over at ZDNet and I think right along the same lines for the most part here too. I have been watching this evolve and I interact with people from both side of the fence, or maybe should I say all sides of the fence. As a patient you may not be aware of what goes...

In the US, the Foundation focuses on education. I can’t remember how many times I have posted videos of Mr. Gates in front of Congress asking for a call to arms for education of US citizens, and we still lack and are far behind. In July, Bill Gates spoke in India stating the US got off to...
