Just because you're the daughter of Bill Gates does not mean you get to play on your computer all day long. :D

The Microsoft founder said his 10-year-old daughter, his oldest child, was not a hard-core Internet and computer user until this year, when she started at a school where the students use tablet computers for almost everything.

Gates said he and his wife Melinda decided to set a limit of 45 minutes a day of total screen time for games and an hour a day on weekends, plus what time she needs for homework.

Wow! Even I play more! (and I don't play as much as others)

Well dude 45 minutes playing in like a home theater is way better than 3 hrs in a tiny PC.
