In 1996, after a short stint as a professor at the MIT Media Lab, Hillis joined The Walt Disney Company MI time in the newly

(And why Gates and Jobs maintained a consistent, admiring respect for him.) He’d once spent a decade at Disney designing rides or thinking up new dreams as a kind o

heck for $5 million. Or there was the time that Hillis asked Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to tip him off about any smart scientists Thinking Machines might hire. Feynman, pushing 60, volunteered himself and spent his summer vacations for the next ten years with Hillis and his team.1?! When it came
