Okay, I’ve heard of Purple Cows but cows that don’t fart? Now that would make me stop and look…and smell :)
In a wide ranging interview with Ina Fried Bill replied to a question about Intellectual Ventures
Gates: That's right. We're going to make the cows that don't fart. You name it, we've got it under control.
It was a fun comment alongside discussion of putting the Feynman lectures online, nuclear power plant design, Google’s Chrome OS and more.
It’s been a busy week on the Bill front with a USA Today piece about controlling hurricanes and atmospheric management that was also a good read.
Anyway, non farting cows. Surely that’d have some impact on atmospheric management too? :)
Cows are a huge source of the gasses that are wessing with the ozone layer. Non-farting cows would likely make a difference. In theory anyway.
lol, nice. What? he has so much money that he's so bored now to create non-farting cows??
It's almost as if the billions of humans never farted.
Now, THAT's innovation!
Beat that Apple!
=P
