As Mac users, we jab this guy quite a bit...but as people, he has gained our respect.

This past week, Bill Gates announced he's leaving (or partially leaving) Microsoft in order to focus on philanthropy full time. This is an incredible thing for the world's richest man to do. It's really encouraging, in this day and age of materialism and corporate ladders, that someone this high up the rungs is stepping down because of a tug on his heart...Let's hope and pray that more follow in his footsteps.

MF takes a couple minutes to talk about this story, focusing on the ways that Gates is using his money and his foundation to help the world's poor and try and make a difference in ridding the world of disease and poverty.

Take a listen...
