Searching for the next Bill Gates
The Microsoft Blog — ... to do is answer a simple question – "Why are you the next Bill Gates?" – in 100 words or less or in a one-minute video. The prize? About 3,500 ($5,800) for tuition, a Toshiba laptop, an internship at XMA, and the chance to be mentored by dude named Guy Bates, an XMA business development manager. Sure, the prize isn't quite the same as the real Bill Gates' net worth of $50 billion . But, baby steps. Right? The competition's Web site is thenextbillgates.co.uk . Via Geek in Disguise
