Microsoft's Bill Gates, who now devotes his time to philanthropic activities, found a way to get the attention of top names in science, technology, business, entertainment and academia on the topic of malaria.
.
Addressing the elite Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Long Beach, Calif., he suddenly yelled to the crowd: "Malaria is spread by mosquitoes. I brought some. Here, let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected."
.
With that, he proceeded to unscrew the lid on a jar and unleashed a swarm of mosquitoes to a stunned audience.
.
While he quickly reassured they group they were not carrying the disease, the newspaper says, the organizer of the conference said it was an "amazing moment" that provided the crowd with "food for thought."
