Hello Reddit – I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft founder. Ask me anything.

I had a lot of fun doing last year’s AMA and am excited to come back for another round of questions about everything from philanthropy to technology to how to lose a chess match in less than 90 seconds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NwnSltHFo). (Step 1: Play the world champion. There is no step 2.)

I hope you’ll read my annual letter (http://annualletter.gatesfoundation.org/). Melinda and I talk about three myths that block progress for the poor.

I’ll be answering your questions live from my office, starting at 10 a.m. Pacific time.

UPDATE: I’ve responded to a few myths ahead of time, including one that involves me and a $100 bill. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZnmpDrjtDc

UPDATE: This is great… though I have to admit I’m a bit surprised by the turnout. http://i.imgur.com/U5PNnZi.jpg

UPDATE: Thanks for hanging out with me today, Reddit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynQ5ZhxYAss

UPDATE: OK, final update. Thanks for all the great questions – this has been a lot of fun. I hope you’ll read the Annual Letter, www.gatesletter.com, and check out my blog, www.thegatesnotes.com.
