Please let us know how many billionaires retire to do charity work as Bill Gates: We wish Bill and Melinds Gates all the happiness in the world. Without Bill Gates and his great vision to make computers easy for idiots like us, life for us would have been –only God knows. A Harvard University dropout who ushered in the home computer age and made billions of dollars along the way will step down from Microsoft Corp, which he founded more than 30 years ago. Gates was born on October 28, 1955, the second of three children in a prominent Seattle family. His father, William Henry Gates Jr., was a partner at one of the city's most powerful law firms, while his late mother, Mary, was an active charity fund-raiser and University of Washington regent. He was introduced to computers at the exclusive Lakeside Preparatory School, where the teen prodigy began programming in BASIC computer language on a primitive ASR-33 Teletype unit. Gates first programmed a computer at 13, creating a class scheduling system for his Seattle high school. Gates realized at an early stage of the PC revolution that software would be more important than hardware. Working with boyhood friend Paul Allen, Gates founded Microsoft, naming the company for its mission of providing microcomputer software. Rest is history.

Korea develops Superfast chip that can transfer about 4 full-length movies in one second!: A team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said the multiplexer chip is the first of its kind to be developed using the quantum effect of resonant tunnelling diode. Developers said the integrated circuit chip built at the university laboratory without the benefit of more high-tech manufacturing facilities has a operating speed of 45 gigabits per second (Gb/s) while using roughly 75 percent less energy. The speed enables the transfer of about 4 full-length movies in one second. Efforts are underway to increase operational speed to 100Gb/s, with energy consumption to be cut to 10 percent of current chips like the high electron mobility transistor, the heterojunction bipolar transistor and the complementary metal oxide semiconductor.
