You're a bit confused. That is somewhat close to the amount the foundation was _endowed_ with, but actual grants are not remotely close to that. Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.

Teach them to respect the law, just like Bill Gates

hmm... "Details of which have been lost over time"... hmm...

I'm a fan of not having my music ruined by crappy audio.

Sound quality is only subjective for posers. Otherwise, it can be accurately described in terms of frequency response, harmonic distortion, etc.

If you want to kick somebody's butt about it, aim in the general direction of Qualcomm, not marketing but engineering.

So you most probably overestimate your ability in power management. Think about what might be necessary to achieve a win from sprint-to-power-save, and why the phone you own might not implement that. Think about the whole system.

Video resolution is readily distinguishable from photo quality. If you don't care about that then go for it.

A great musician playing on a honkytonk can't make it sound like a Steinway.

Most ultrazooms will be in that range at the long end.

...If you really enjoy wallowing in a sense of regret as you review the shots that is...

The step up to 20mp+ full frame is really watershed, nobody will fail to notice the difference vs generations just 5 years ago.

The Mark III completely and utterly devastates the Mark II, so does the 6D.

So does the 5D, just leave the mode dial on "green".

I have some great photos I took with my phone. Whenever I look at them, I feel a twinge of regret that I didn't take them with the DSLR instead.

When I do lug my DSLR around (which is often) I always have my (fairly respectable) smartphone too. I _never_ take a shot with the smartphone when the DSLR is at hand. If it's a real shot that is, not just somebody's license plate in a fender bender or something. A decent holster case makes a world of difference.
