It's amazing to know that most of the technological things that we know such as soft-wares and networking sites are not an original ideas by the people who get famous and rich for it. I was just re-reading the article about facebook only to find out that most of the ideas that Mark Zuckerberg has used to create facebook were taken from other networking site:so much for originality; but atleast he had an idea its just that it had to be boosted by other peoples work.
If compared to Bill Gates Mark is better simply because he had a vision, unlike Bill Gates whose getting full credit for Microsoft not to mention the billions too, but did not contribute an idea, just bought the software from some one. Personally I think who ever it is that had the idea of Microsoft to get a share of some sort.

PRACTISE PAGE
It's amazing how we tell ourselves that since we have done something before; even though it was a long time ago; we would be able to nail it the second time around with no hassle what so ever. Well I learnt this the hard way using Kompozer for my practise page.
I had done most of the work during my tut last week, so I left all the last minute editing for the last day thinking it will all be a breeze. It took me an hour to be exact just to do the anchoring, linking as well as the posting of the pictures correctly. After I was done with that I uploaded it on to moodle but I got frustrated when it did not look the same, it had pictures in places that I did not put it in, colours that just appeared from nowhere, and there I was thinking I was finished, I just kept laughing in amazement; thinking to myself how could this happen; than I had to start again. It all came together well at the end though, don't think there was anything more for me to do.
Here is the assignment that thought me a lesson yesterday, maybe practise actually does make perfect. PRACTISE PAGE

MALEMA Vs. THE ANC
The ANC does not seem to be happy about anything these days. First there instated a law against the freedom of expression of the media, which many people;myself included; was against, now they want to create a law against the freedom of expression of their own members.The usual happened' Malema made a comment which was found offensive but this time Mr. Jacob Zuma found it targeted to him therefore he wants action to be taken. Malema said " all people should have one partner, one man with one wife, one boy with one girlfriend and one woman with one husband". knowing well the history of our president one would know that this does not apply to him as he has more than one wife, many more than one. Malema has said many degrading things before to a lot of people but because it has now been directed to specific people of high power, the world must come to a stand still and only now the ANC realises he needs to be punished for his speeches which cause heartache to others. If they didn't encounter a problem with him before, than why are they having issue now.
