Chinese protester pwned Bill Gates

It's not often that you get a Chinese protester, actually in China, but when you see one, they certainly make an impact.



Earlier today the Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was at Peking University. While he handed out certificates to a line of students, one young man from the audience rushed the stage with a piece of paper daubed with “Free software Open source” in English, and shouting those words loudly, for good measure. Top-class pwnage!

Follow this link for the original news story (in Chinese) which also contains a clip of the young Chinese man's lil' demo. He is, officially, our hero of the day.

UPDATE: Here's a better-angled photo, showing Big Bill himself in the background, looking on with good humour.
