Pointing out the contrasts between Microsoft and MIT, Bill Gates and Nicholas Negroponte, Gates' philanthropy and his buggy software - all very nicely done. The world is not a black and white place - notwithstanding the "Kill Bill" mentality of the hacking (and often the white hat) community. No problem here is easy - so it's instructive to explore these contrasts.
I loved the integrating conclusion on the common goal of using technology to make the world a better place. I assume that is why most of us are in the business.
Just wanted to provide this feedback on a nicely written piece of journalism.
