From various news sources - The Bill is stepping down.

He said he plans to give away most of his fortune, leaving only a small portion to his three sons.

The Gates Foundation, with assets of $29-billion (U.S.), has focused on providing health care services and medicine to the poor in Africa and India, but has also been a major benefactor of public schools in the United States.

“I believe that with great wealth comes great responsibility — responsibility to give back to society, responsibility to see that those resources are put to work in the best possible way to help those most in need,” Mr. Gates said.


And apparently he reads Stan Lee. Maybe now that he is the richest man on the planet and will no longer be focus on world domination it is possible that he is will no longer be evil. Although, I do not like to focus on one person for their companies actions, sometimes it is difficult to separate them. But I shall focus on happy thoughts right now, Bill is giving away money to help people. Nothing wrong with that. History will have to judge whether or not his karma is balanced.

Mostly a shrug. He's been spending more and more time studying malarial transmission, and less on data transmission. But after 20+ years, I'd be bored, too.

The company is not the person.
