Props to Google for doing this. When we look at scale, though, it's like me giving $1 to a bum in San Francisco. I don't deserve props for that.

Google's net income in 2009 was 6,500M 10M/6500M = 0.15%
So if you make $100K a year, this is more like giving $150.00
If you gave $150.00 to a homeless person, you deserve props. If you gave $150.00 to Khan Academy, you also deserve props.

A homeless person might not teach himself to fish using 150 dollars, but Khan Academy will teach lot of people how to fish with 150 dollars.
