Buffett's Charity No Surprise

Why is everyone shocked at the news that Buffett is giving most of his wealth to charity? He wrote in his 2005 letter to shareholders:

Every share of Berkshire that I own is destined to go to philanthropies

I think the "shock" was caused by him doing it while still alive.

Also the interesting feature that the second richest man gave most of his money to the richest man (sort of).

Most people just seem shocked that he's giving away lots of wealth.

But yes, the fact that he's giving it to a foundation run by Bill Gates is part of the interest.

While randomly surfing the web, i found some java script i believe you wrote. It opens a pop up window when someone using Internet Explorer visits a web site with that script and it encourages them to download various other browsers. I was wondering if you had the time to possibly write an updated version that includes firefox.

I don't have time to do that, sorry. Should be easy for you to figure out if you're motivated, though.
