Figures Bill Gate$ doesn't like it, god forbid somebody combines business and philanthropy and one-up M$ at the same time. I think the whole thing is a very interesting project and has the potential to lead to a technological revolution in less developed countries.
And bogus, it looks like a child's toy because it's meant for children.

That was in the original mockup, yea, but it seems to be missing from the final product.

Its a great invention, IMO. Then again, I worship anything that has MIT even remotely connected to it
