Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen dead at 65

Not much to say about it. Without Paul Allen, we wouldn't have Microsoft (or, arguably, huge amounts of the Tech industry today). Allen was a part of the company before Microsoft that built a car-counting system alongside Bill Gates. He had just entered into another battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, cancer returning after nine years of remission.

Thoughts: Seriously sad about this. After leaving Microsoft, he went on to fund many different projects that have fundamentally changed the tech world as we know it in small ways, including space travel and medical research.
