Did Bill Gates Steal The Macintosh?

-
    Howdy! We all know Microsoft Windows, the signature product of Microsoft, Bill Gate's company. The first version of Windows was launched on 1986, but did Bill and his team really made the OS themselves? Well, let's find out!

    In the early 1980's, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were still good friends and didn't compete with one another. Bill still had the access to Apple's projects because he was one of the engineers and an investor on that company. when the Macintosh project was first planned, it got Bill's attention. In an Apple event in 1983, Bill said: "to create a new standard, it takes something tha'ts not just a little bit different. It takes something that's really new, and really capture people's imaginations, and the Macintosh, from all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard."  A year later, in 24th of January 1984, the Macintosh was launched.

you're fired!

    When Steve Jobs was fired (from his own company!) In 1985, Bill then Saw a chance. He quickly pulled out of the deal when he was making an update of the Macintosh OS, and refused to give Apple the source code. A year later, in 1986, Microsoft released an operating enviroment called "windows", which was similair to Apple's Macintosh. Some people said that Bill got away with se source code and modified it, but since there was no real evidence I can't confirm it. The only obvious thing was that Bill copied the Macintosh so he could sell it in his own company. Sneaky, ay?

    So what do you think? Is Bill Gates just a nice guy who wants to make a decent operating enviroment
For every other company or is he a monopoly king, trying to take over the market?

Kiki, teman SMP ku

-
Ketika aku masih di SMP, aku melihat seorang anak dari sekolahku berjalan pulan membawa semua buku-bukunya. “Mengapa ada orang membawa pulang semua bukunya padahal besok libur akhir pekan? Dia pasti benar-benar bodoh” pikirku dalam hati. Saat sedang berpikir begitu, aku melihat sekelompok anak berlari ke arahnya. Mereka berlari ke arahnya, menjatuhkan semua buku dari tanganya dan menjegalnya hingga jatuh. Kacamatanya terbang dan mendarat sekitar 3 meter dari dirinya. Ada kesedihan yang mendalam di matanya, dan hatiku menyuruhku menghampirinya . aku melihat air matanya saat aku menyerahkan kacamatanya.  “orang-orang itu kurang ajar. Mereka harus mendapatkan pelajaran” kataku padanya Dia menatapku dengan senyum penuh rasa terimakasih dan berkata “ Hai , terima kasih!” Aku membawakan bukunya dan berbincang sepanjang jalan pulang. Dia ternyata cukup keren, semakin aku mengenal Kiki, semakin aku kagum padanya. Selama tiga tahun berikutnya, Kiki dan aku menjadi teman baik.  Lalu dat...

Is It Safe For An Atheist In Indonesia?

     Recently, I saw a question from Quora that said "Is it safe for an atheist to go to indonesia?". even though there was already an answer to that question, I want to give you an answer to that based on my own experience.   I live in Indonesia for about 13 years now. Indonesia is a beautiful country with its nature and lasting culture. The majority of religion here is Islam, so is it safe for a non-islamic guy to go to Indonesia? well, Indonesia has a national emblem that says "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" or, in english, means "Unity In Diversity". To the contrary, it means: "even if we are different in culture, race, skin or religion, we are still one human being". If an Indonesian asks you about your religion and you say that you dont have one, they'll only nod their heads and ask a different question. Else than that, Indonesians like foreign people so they'll act as friendly as they can.   So, it is perfectly safe to go to In...
