Do No Evil does not equate to Do Some Good, and Good Only

Bill Gates criticises Google's Project Loon initiative | Technology | theguardian.com: "Google's Project Loon initiative wants to provide internet access for the developing world from a network of balloons floating in the stratosphere. Former Microsoft boss Bill Gates isn't keen on the idea.

"When you're dying of malaria, I suppose you'll look up and see that balloon, and I'm not sure how it'll help you. When a kid gets diarrhoea, no, there's no website that relieves that," Gates told Business Week, in an interview about the work of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

"Certainly I'm a huge believer in the digital revolution. And connecting up primary-healthcare centres, connecting up schools, those are good things. But no, those are not, for the really low-income countries, unless you directly say we're going to do something about malaria.""
