Gates On Promoting InnovationMicrosoft Chairman Bill Gates appeared before a US House of Representatives Committee this week and pitched his plan to keep the US at the forefront of technical innovation. Damon Poeter reports: "Gates' four-point plan for reversing that trend includes investing more in science and math education, accepting more highly skilled workers from abroad into the country, increasing the government's funding of basic scientific research, and incentivizing R&D in the private sector." Sounds good to me, though I admit to being behind on the H1B Visa question (raise? lower? eliminate?). What's your take?
