I guess Ellison's yacht obsession and Gates' highly-efficient means of
transportation can truly make the world a better place. Maybe Gates will
offer a private plane and an Origami to children in Africa (reference to the
interview where he mocked the OLPC project).
To be fair, Google has a /shared/ plane as well (Boeing 757?), and it's
unlikely to have enough room for Ballmer to jump and shout in.
