] CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (AP) -- Vikram Kumar is hardly
] your typical tech chief executive. He shares a
] two-bedroom apartment with a sister and a nephew and gets
] around town by bicycle or in a 20-year-old Mercedes Benz.
]
] The 28-year-old MIT graduate works days as a pathology
] resident at Brigham and Women's Hospital across the
] Charles River in Boston and only turns his energies at
] night to his business: improving rural health care in the
] developing world with handheld computer technology.

This is really damn cool. Bringing technology to rural and often impoverished areas is something I've dealt with in Engineering Students Without Borders at Tech. It's like my mother always said, "Share with your sister."
