Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is throwing Microsoft money at a Belgian company called Anty, which is developing "an intelligent, autonomous HUGGY ROBOT." Gates is quoted in a HealthEurope article as saying, "They are creating a robot called 'Probo' (I don't like the sound of THAT. -Ed.) which will be used as a tele-interface to interact with the children on three different levels: entertainment, communication and medical treatments. The R&MM research group will take care of the mechanical part of the robot, whereas ETRO will focus on the aspects of vision, hearing and speech."

Gizmodo found this clip of 60 Minutes interviewing Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. Gates barely gets started explaining precisely how smart he is before a panhandler taps on the window of Dick's Drive-In Restaurant, the Seattle burger joint where Gates has just ordered a $1.70 "deluxe." Can Gates spare some change? Nah. $36 billion, maybe, but not some change.
