Bill Gates is limiting his daughter's internet time.
I recently read an engadget article saying Bill Gates is limiting his daughter's internet time. Gates says his daughter has been playing the video game Viva Piñata, purportedly playing for "two to three hours per day." So Mr. Gates felt the need to slapp down a "45-minutes per day" law for non-school related computing tasks on the weekdays, and added just 15 minutes for weekends.
I think this is a little harsh. considering that an hour is just 1/24 of one day. Somehow I'm just not sure how well a rule like this could be enforced as the line between school related work and play can be a gray one. This may not be they way I will make my kids spend their time but who am I or anyone else blogging about this to tell Bill Gates how to take care of his children?

Wow. Bill should just lay back. Some kids enjoy video games. Others don't. Let them have their fun, while the weather isn't good outside. Is that so wrong?
O.O Bill Gates is probably doing it because he knows how many games out there are centered upon violence and all kinds of less than wholesome subject matter and just wants to clamp down on it before Viva Pinata turns into some sort of gateway game to ... murder. In any case, such a ban is more or less harmless, so who cares. Apparently I do a little too much already
Anyhow, hey! I came here 'cause I saw your blog on the new gateway tablet coming out next spring, very exciting stuff. i leave now before i make more a** of myself. bai bai!
