Talking To Strangers?

Bill Gates Dotting His i’s, Crossing His Peas

Bill Gates is a Boy Wonder to me; I wonder what he was doing in 1973 outside school in Harvard – studying law? (He dropped out.) I don’t know him from Adam Smith, but I know he’s a Word Wizard, known that for years, beginning with his alpha Word 1 circa 1987. His Word 4 was a pain in the ass – you sit long hours to come up with a manuscript worth perusing; his Word 5 was the beginning of a paradigm shift that the world sat up and took notice of; his Word 2003 is genius I now recognize and love to the max; it’s his Word 2007 I have a problem with, a complete stranger to me and, you know, I don’t talk to strangers.

I’m writing this, meaning from scratch to finish, as on a car, in Word 2003, my sweetheart of a software till death do us part, from morning to evening of today, October 11, Thursday in Manila. I’ll now make my point clear; in fact, I have several power points to make: The full essay

Learning From Microsoft R4D.

A New Paradigm For Research

Bill Gates is acting strange. Microsoft is no stranger to computer science research and development (R&D) – but agriculture R&D?

Today, Bill Gates is into crop research, specifically the Tropical Legumes II Project, in faraway Sub-Saharan Africa, no relation to Microsoft Windows or Office 2007. He might have been talking to officials of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) based in Patancheru, India, perhaps even officials of the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) based in Cali, Colombia; International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) based in Ibadan, Nigeria. The three are implementing Legumes II. The full essay
