I work at another company in the building in question. Several of my coworkers have been in the elevator at the same time he has.<p>I can't wait to get my chance so I can ask him if computers are going to be chewy in the future.
There needs to be a term for the kind of agenda-less company founded by those with nothing to prove and no personal need for enrichment. "Sandbox corporation?"
Fascinating... I'm definitely interested in seeing what comes out of that "think tank." I also agree with the "Sandbox Corporation" classification... maybe shortened to "Sand Corp" or just "Sandy"....<p>Personally, I think its likely to turn into something like an incubator for businesses that are in Gate's area of interest (such as those areas the Gates Foundation focuses on, only for-profit). Then again, maybe I'm just hoping... =P
Ever have one of those moments where you thought "wouldn't it be cool if someone made/built/offered X?" bgC3 is where Bill Gates can do a brain dump of all his ideas and have some smart people try and make them.
