Great story in Wired about how Bill Gates is this huge hero to young people in China. Money quote from a “Chinese propaganda minister” (or maybe Frank Shaw, I’m not sure):

“Bill Gates deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He gives people across the globe not only material help, but also inspiration that if they work very, very hard, they might one day become more important than a president.”

Excuse me. I just barfed up a lung.
