Bravo Bill Gates

In the same vein as yesterday's half-baked post, Bill Gates has helped make freely viewable (if not downloadable) a lecture series by Richard Feynman.

From CNET:

"Gates first saw the series of lectures 20 years ago on vacation and dreamed of being able to make them broadly available. [...] Tapping his colleagues in Redmond to create interactive software to accompany the videos, Gates is making the collection available free from the Microsoft Research Web site."


The name of the site?
Project Tuva. Nice touch.


The site doesn't seem to load in Safari 4 w. Silverlight 2, but Firefox 3.5 / Mac works fine.
