The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has released video clips of part of the Gateses' remarks from the AIDS Conference opening ceremonies. Each video is about a minute long, and includes camera shots that give a sense of the size of the stadium and the mood of the audience. Click on the images below to view.

haha, in quicktime none the less!
still, I'd love to be able to watch their full speech, it sounded like it was a very good wake up call to the world.

I particularly appreciated the statement about protection: "No matter where she lives, who she is, or what she does, a woman should never need her partner's permission to save her own life".

Well, I for one an very impressed at what Bill and Melinda Gates are attempting to do. As a long-time Apple and Mac user, I took great pleasure in demonizing Bill the Gates as the Evil Monopolist. My opinion of Gates has changed considerably lately. They have taken philanthropy to a whole new level and seem intent on truly trying to change the world for the better.
