How a Geek Changed the World, and No I Don't Mean Steve.

Have you seen this interesting documentary on Bill Gates (available for four more days on BBC iPlayer)?

Only available in the UK, so I can't watch it...Is it anything like The Pirates of Silicon Valley?

Opps.

Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer television programmes are only available to users to download or stream (Click to Play) in the UK. However, BBC Worldwide is working on an international version, which we will make available as soon as possible.

Well that sucks. It is basically a documentary about Bill Gates' Life, about how he went from geeky kid to richest man in the world 11 years running. It focuses on his future philanthropic plans and looks back at how this 'geek' managed to revolutionize the world and achieve his visionary college goal of putting a computer in every classroom and every home. It contains many interviews with Bill Gates himself, Bill Gates' father, Steve Ballmer and other people that knew him.
