Philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates opened a jar of blood sucking mosquitoes at a tech conference to raise malaria awareness. He set the insects free during the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference in Long Beach.

"Not only poor people should experience this," said Gates, and assured the crowd that the insects weren't disease ridden. After departing Microsoft, Gates focused his attention to charity work, and last year The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said it would donate $168.7 million to aid the development of a malaria vaccine.

For once, Gates should be commended for releasing more bugs on the unsuspecting public.
