Bill Gates is asked about what motivates him to do the work that he does at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. You can watch the entire 50 minute interview with Charlie Rose at Stanford University available on Google Video that talks about Google, the iPod, XBOX360, IPTV, Windows Vista, the EU and much more. This is a snippet that caught my attention.

How much time was taken to make that image? Or was it all C&P with you?
@Darren: Took about a good 30 minutes to get my head around what I wanted to do. I also had to make sure I had exactly 1000 planes
It’s an extremely important problem, and Gates could be underestimating the numbers (and talking about really, really small planes)
from http://www.malaria.org/factpack.html :
“The majority of deaths are children. In other words children are dying at a rate of 4 per minute, 5,000 a day and 35,000 a week.” (this is a touch south of two million a year.)
so that’s where my money is going!
heck, i’m all for it, and while his numbers might be off he makes a pretty good point.
tragedy makes for better news than plight…
I love BILL GATES he is super hero for me. I love to meet him in my life. I want to see him.
Please give a hand to help Cam poison of Vietnam,where millions of person were bearing by the result of war.
I belive Bill Gates can do and to be ready to do with all his heart and his love .
