The web design project

I've decided to do a project with my biology teacher that requires me to make a website over everything that we've learned so far this second semester. This project is going to help me study for the biology exam, however its going to also get me a good grade in Ms. Goudy's class therefore its like killing 2 birds with one stone. All in all i just cant wait for summer cause school is just overall killing me right now

Computer project

A computer project was just assigned and it sounds very boring and pointless, but im gonna go along doing it. i Guess im just gonna ask my coach what pictures and colors he wants on the page even though he'll probably laugh at me. O well anything for a good grade, even if it means a coach laughing at you. Im not sure what he'll want though. But i guess when i go and ask him for his oppinions we're going to find out.

Pirates of silicon valley essay

In Pirates of Silican valley, 2 major companies were introduced to us with complete different owners. Steve Jobs, the starter of apple computers took his company into a direction where everyone competed against each other to see who could make the best and most efficient computer. As Bill Gates took a program from japan and developed it to make it one of the most elite and efficient programs on the market, soon beating out Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs led his company like it was a bunch of gangs. For example there were people who made the Apple computers then there were people developing the macintosh. They were both competing to make the best computer first. However Bill Gates, partner with the company apple snatched a program before Steve Jobs and developed a program to compete against apple company called Windows.
In this movie its hard to say who is the hero or the villain. This is because Bill Gates gained trust from Steve Jobs then turned around and stabbed him in the back by developing the program windows, which ultimately out did apple. Steve Jobs nor Bill gates really had values or guidlines, they just wanted to develope the best computer before anyone had the chance to do it before them. However Steve Jobs wanted to take down the beast IBM.
In these times that we are in right now it would be hard to develope a new farfetched idea that might catch because no one wants to invest their money because its so tight. Therefore if you were to develope a new idea, it might take a while for it to catch on, however eventually it might catch on in foreign countries that aren't having the same money issues.
I would prefer to work for Bill Gates because he's a much more laid back person and seems like he would be more generous and nice to his employees.
