Bill Gates
If you are low income in the United States, you have a higher chance of going to jail than getting a 4-year degree.

If somebody is working on a new medicine, computer science helps us model those things. We have a whole group here in Seattle called the Institute for Disease Modelling that is a mix of computer science and math-type people, and the progress we're making in polio or plans for malaria or really driven by their deep insights.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
When you write a piece of software you assume a certain type of hardware. If you assume hardware that's too powerful then you can't sell many copies cause very few people have that machine. If you assume hardware that's too simple your product can't do as much.
Bill Gates
My wife thinks she's better than me at puzzles. I haven't given in on that one yet.
Bill Gates
There's always been a lot of information about your activities. Every phone number you dial, every credit-card charge you make. It's long since passed that a typical person doesn't leave footprints.
Bill Gates
Most of our competitors were one-product wonders... They would do their one product, but never get their engineering sorted out.
Bill Gates
When a country has the skill and self-confidence to take action against its biggest problems, it makes outsiders eager to be a part of it.
Bill Gates
We'll have infinite bandwidth in a decade's time.
Bill Gates
Depending on where you live, cooking, sex and pooping are either 3 of life's pleasures or what kills you
Bill Gates
I don't think culture is something you can describe.
Bill Gates
The fight against AIDS in China is already well underway. The Chinese government and other funders are providing major support, and they'll continue to bear primary responsibility for delivering prevention and treatment.
Bill Gates
When I say an energy miracle, I mean that there will be some form of energy whose 24 hour cost really is competitive with hydrocarbons given, say, 20 years of learning curve. You invent it, then you look at how much its costs go down over the next 20 years, that it really beats hydrocarbons.
Bill Gates
China is certainly an important player in the global economy, and a widespread AIDS epidemic would threaten that growth.
