Bill Gates releases bug filled product

. What's this?

Couldn't let this pass without some wry comment. According to reports, Bill Gates while making a presentation on eradicating malaria at the exclusive TED conference, released a swarm of mosquitoes to bring his point home. I think this was the first time he intentionally released a bug ridden product. He later assured the audience that the mosquitoes were malaria free. (The bugs didn't have any bugs). I hope for the attendees sake that he didn't use the Vista team to give the mosquitoes a clean bill of health.
