Today is retirement day for Bill Gates. Now his focus will shift from Microsoft to giving away more than 99% of his money. In case you are wondering, 1% of 50 billion dollars will still leave 500 million dollars. Most people could scrape an existence out of that for a few thousand years.
Here is the video from CES earlier this year. I imagine it will get a lot of air time today.
Here is the (slightly more serious) video tribute from Microsoft’s site.
