With its Project Loon Google has grand plans to bring the Internet to the developing world with balloons. The company first began testing the large Internet-equipped floating balloons in New Zealand, but has now begun testing a few in California's Central Valley. But coinciding with the tests is a new critic of the ambitious project: Bill Gates.

"The purpose of these flights is to allow us to research various approaches for improving the technology, like the power systems (solar panel orientation and batteries), envelope design, and radio configuration," Google posted on its Project Loon Google+ page. Google notes that there was major signal interference when the balloon was flown over Fresno. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/google-tests-internet-filled-balloon-california-bill-gates/story?id=19915487
