Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I've learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that's what kids are playing.

Bill Gates
It's easier to add things on to a PC than it's ever been before. It's one click, and boom, it comes down.
