Familiar Much?


Any idea who he is? Bill Gates! 

Here is some of his biography.
Name: William Henry Bill Gates III
Detail of Birth: 28 October 1955 in Seattle, Washington

What is so special about him? Well, of course we know he is filthy rich. He held various positions in the Microsoft e.g CEO and chief software architect and own a Foundation. Very successful, indeed. 

Do you notice he is haunting almost everyone's life? Almost all of us using the personal computer that contain OS invented by him, Windows. Is not that interesting? 

How does he manage to get hold to what he had achieved?  Well, he showed interest in the industry since he entered Lakeside School where he met Paul Allen, his partner in Microsoft.

Mothers Club at his school bought ASR-33 teletype terminal and a block of computer time. Since then, Gates has been spending time on computer. He loves computer so much until he breached the system with three other students to get more time on computer. 

Computer Center Corporation found out and banned them from using computer. Then CCC offered them to find bug in the system. Instead of using teletype, Gates went to the office to study the source code. Very clever, is not he? At age of 17, Gates with Allen make traffic counter called Traf-O-Data. 

In 1973, Gates graduated and went to Harvard University. He did not really have a proper study plan. He spent most of his time on computer.

Later, he joined Allen at Honeywell and dropped from Harvard.

His enthusiasm has brought him to success. His creativity has brought him to novelty. The way of his thinking in the business also get him to more profitable way. He did not let other people to get the copyright of whatever he invented.







How about them? They are the Google guy! Larry Page and Sergey Brin. 
Lawrence Page was born on 26 March 1973 in Michigan, USA, while Sergey Brin was born in 1973 in Moscow.

So what now, right? Do you know how is life before Google search engine in created? It is madness! People often get junk from the search engine.

How they invented the search engine?
Well, they actually had to do a project during their Ph.Ds in Computer Science in Stanford University. So, they thought of improving the search engine available. End up, they call the project as The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hyper-textual Web Search Engine.

Their mission is to manage the web efficiently and provide relevant results. Therefore, they created a series of code to rate any pages of their importance. A very complicated system that is called PageRank to run the assessment.

At first, they were not allowed to publicly advertise. Soon, they left Stanford and start Google Inc. in 1998. The search engine became profitable in 2000. Then, Google Inc. became public company in August 2004.

Larry became the president of product and Sergey became the president of technology. However, Larry handed over CEO position to Dr. Erik Schmidth. 

Though, both of them never thought of become so successful, but they had the idea to ease the life of people. Their invention has saved lots and lots of people time in searching relevant information over the net. 
Thank you Larry and Sergey! :)
