There Will Be Blood Suckers

We always knew Microsoft had bug issues, but now they've spread beyond its software, according to the Daily Mail:

Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft and a renowned philanthropist, let loose a swarm of mosquitoes at a technology conference in California to highlight the dangers of malaria.

‘Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,’ the Microsoft founder yelled at a well-heeled crowd at a technology conference in California.

’I brought some,’ he added. ‘Here, I’ll let them roam around – there is no reason only poor people should be infected.’

Fortunately, none of the 'skeeters carried malaria -- or bubonic plague, for that matter.

If they did, Gates is offering a free download next Tuesday to fix the problem. However, all infected people must make sure their settings are properly enabled to recieve this critical update.
