Bill Gates : last day at Microsoft

Posted by jigneshdodiya on June 29th, 2008 filed in day2dAY






Bill Gates spent his last day at Microsoft Friday, bidding a teary goodbye to the company he built into a global software colossus.

The Microsoft co-founder, 52, known for his boyish face and nerdy manner, will now focus on running the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed at fighting disease, reducing poverty, and improving education around the world.

“My life’s work really is about software and working with incredible people,” Gates told more than 800 Microsoft employees picked by lottery to attend his onstage farewell chat with chief executive Steve Ballmer at the company’s campus in Redmond, Washington.

“There won’t be a day in my life that I’m not thinking about Microsoft and the great things it’s doing and wanting to help.” Gates said with tears in his eyes.

“When we miss a big change, when we don’t get great people on it, that is the most dangerous thing for us,” Gates said. “It has happened many times. It’s OK, but the less the better.”

Gates, who will remain Microsoft’s chairman on a part-time basis, said he would still take on Microsoft projects picked by Ballmer and two other executives who have assumed most of his day-to-day tasks, Craig Mundie and Ray Ozzie.

“I do think with my not being here full time there is some opportunity that people will really step up. There’s somewhat of a vacuum created there,” he said. “I have got to get out of the way, and let that new thing step in there.”

When it came time for Ballmer to make his public farewell to Gates, he joked about the inevitable inadequacy of a thank-you gift, and presented him with a large scrapbook embossed with Gates’ signature. Then, the tears came.

“We’ve been given an enormous, enormous opportunity. And Bill gave us that opportunity,” Ballmer said, his face reddening. “I want to thank Bill for that.”

As the employees rose to their feet, Gates swiped at tears of his own.

freeRice.com - Save a person dying of Hunger

Posted by jigneshdodiya on June 15th, 2008 filed in day2dAY








FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.

Playing a word definition game at FreeRice.com results in food being donated to the needy. you can “donate” 20 grains of rice to the needy simply by choosing the right answer to a word definition problem. Each correct answer results in another donation of 20 grain of rice.

FreeRice.com is the creation of 49-year-old American computer programmer John Breen, and is the sister site of Poverty.com, launched in January 2007 with a counter showing one person dying of hunger every 3.5 seconds.  Breen is no stranger to such programs, having created  The Hunger Site in June 1999.

As to who foots the bill for the food being donated, the site says: “The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen.” As more people play the game, the site racks up more advertising revenue, which in turn is converted into food donations for the hungry.

The rice is distributed by the United Nations’ World Food Programme, an organization that in 2006 reached 87.8 million people in 78 countries.

So play as much as on the site and learn vocabulary for your personal development and meanwhile you witness to save a person in the world dying of hunger. Its great combination for helping the people and learning yourself.

Keep visiting freerice.com
