Ever had a question you wanted to ask Bill Gates?

(1/2) > >>

wraith808:
What does he think of the company's direction with Surface?

Why did they kill off Courier?

"Just for Renegade"Why does the B&MG foundation work with Monsanto?

He's doing a Reddit AMA right now.  Anyone who knows Reddit knows that nothing is off limits.  He might and might not answer- but I think people learned from Woody Harrelson.  So have at it! (via Engadget)

Renegade:
Interesting. I do like to hear from him.

And yes - that is a question that I wonder about. He seems very genuine and motivated out of real concern for people. So that's one that I just don't understand at all as it all seems to wildly at odds.

He touched on one area that I'd want to ask a related question about. But, that's treading on sensitive toes...

I actually wasn't trying to be funny that time. :)

AFAIC anything Mr. Gates has to say (that was actually worth listening to) has already been said for the most part.

But that may be because I've spent a good deal of my adult life (and career) listening to Mr. Bill pontificate - and watching him call most of the shots. And I like to think I understand him pretty well by now.

Truth is, lately I'm significantly less interested in what my generation has to say; and much more interested in what the older and the younger generations are thinking about.
