We interview Bill Gates, Sr. (yes - father of the Bill Gates
of Microsoft) in Seattle! Gates talks about Bill's childhood interest in
technology, the recent announcement that Bill will retire from Microsoft AND the
extraordinary gift from Warren Buffett to the Gates Foundation.

Google releases a shiny new browser called Chrome this week, which also happens to mark 10 years that the company's been incorporated. We have an assessment. Also, a famous French blogger uproots his family and moves to San Francisco to start Seesmic, a kind of Twitter for video. Then, we hear about the dark world of online poker, and some of the far-out ideas of geoengineering. And we wax lyrical to end the show, with the Large Hadron Collider rap.
