Steve Jobs Bio

In the movie The Pirates of Silicon Valley Steve Jobs starts off as making computers in his garage. Him and his friend make a company called Apple Computers. It got big once they were offered money that they couldn't possibly refuse. This is how Apple started from the beginning.

At Apple Steve Jobs went to see a type of graphics that was created by Xerox. They also made the mouse and other things. Xerox thought it was okay to reveal everything to them but later on they found out that they stole everything. Steve Jobs then got fired after he split his company. But in 2002 he got asked to come back to Apple again. Nothing new in between that period of his absence was created.

Bill Gates Bio

In the movie The Pirates of Silicon Valley Bill Gates was in school doing crazy things. Like sleeping with his clothes on, never finding his ties, and dreaming of computers and power. Then he made a company called Microsoft which had no operating system. So, they had to buy one for $50,000.

While at Microsoft, Bill Gates gets scared of Apple's rapid growth. He settles this by going over there and talking to his alliance. We then figure out that his alliance is Steve Jobs. This is good because he is the founder of Apple and has access to the new machines. Right after this Windows is born and Bill Gates gets even more mad so he yells at Steve Jobs.

Video



This is the funniest video of a fight in china town in San Fransisco. If it made me laugh so hard then it should make you crack up too. This fight involves two grown women arguing for a seat on a public bus. People on the bus don't do anything to stop the arguing until it gets really serious. Once they start going at it they bump into the other bus riders and that's when it gets stopped and the women separate. If it wasn't for the young lady that stopped it they would have still been going at it.

Picture 2



This is my frog, well its not really the one I have it's just a picture that looks exactly like the on I have. It is a one year old oriental fire bellied toad. Yes, I have had this frog for a little more than a year now. It is currently in my room probably on the log because it really doesnt like the water. The gross thing is that I have to feed it worms and crickets. Eww.

Picture 1


This is where I went for spring break two years ago with my best friend. I had a good time in Mexico especially here in the beach in Veracruz. I wish I could have stayed there longer but I had to come home to go to school. Next year I plan to save up my money and go to Spain with my best friend. I hope it happens because it would be another great experience.

Fad or Not???

In my opinion blogs are going to stay especially now since the numbers of web users are increasing more than ever. There might be some slight changes and adjustments like newer applications. But I believe they are not a fad because some people make money off of blogging. Then there are others that simply rely on consuming the news through blogging instead of reading the newspaper. Others just use it as a way to communicate, and that is why it would continue to be popular for a long time.

Disadvantages of Blogging

The worst thing that can happen when you are blogging is being harrassed or bullied through the blog posts. People have to be careful on what they say and reveal on their blogs because it is permanently kept somewhere even if you delete your blog. Another disadvantage is that other people can reuse your pictures and other information you post on their like your name, address, and phone number. Starting a blog seems pretty easy, but constantly updating it is a disadvantage. If you don't update it often then you lose readers and that's a another bad thing.
