The buzz level has been high of late. As the rumored announcement for the iPhone 6 draws closer, it is easy to overlook just how good Apple is when it comes to building a climate of envy and desire. Other technology giants have tried, notably Microsoft. Remember the Kin? I didn’t think so (it was the 2010 attempt to create MS-Phone). Having failed numerous times at introducing must-have gadgets, Bill Gates finally turned his attention to some of the more serious problems confronting humanity. According to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, some 2.6 billion people on the planet “…don’t have a safe way to poop.” With backing from the Gates Foundation’s $34 billion endowment, and the likes of Caltech working on the technology, this is serious sh*t.
