Pirates of the Silicon Valley

This film is the story of the two towers(Gates and Jobs) battling on the gates of popularity and of better job. If you would want to know the History of these persons who had and will change the world forever, these persons who are considered as world's greatest treasure, these persons who will always be remembered even after centuries will pass, these persons who are called the most powerful in the world. They are the world, they are everything, they are Bill and Steve.

 

It's a great loss on the planet earth of not having Steve Jobs, we will surely miss a man that we have never met.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The girl with the dragon tattoo is a very fine movie with a taste of suspense thriller, action, drama and comedy in one package. Starring Mikael Blomkcvist and Lisbeth Sander created  by Stieg Larsson. 

This film was one of the books created by Larsson, it is one of the bestselling books of all times. It is a story of Mikael who was a criticized journalist who is having a trouble with his article refering to a famous person but with hidden desire for corruption. 

The story revolves on the murder of a girl who's grandfather is still certain that her daughter is alive and the story of her daughter's murder was all just a lie. The old man hired Mikael to investigate on her daughter's case and was requested to give the old man leads into finding her daughter. 

In the other side of the story, Lisbeth, a very skilled hacker and network predator was tasked to monitor Mikael of his work which later turned them both into partners and then into lovers in such a way that they both have a mutual understanding. 

With their partnership and skill added up, no one can get in their way into solving the mystery case.

The Social Network: Movie Review

The main protagonist of the story was no other than the current CEO and Founder of the popular Social networking site Facebook. The movie explains the detailed information and the story behind the popularity and rise of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.

It all started with a quarrel with a girl friend that made Mark enraged and dedicated to destroy the girl’s reputation by broadcasting a website called facemash that will let the people around the Harvard community compare and choose which is better between two individuals. 

The phenomenon became a threat to the Harvard domain and later made Mark’s skill acknowledged.

The Winklevoss brothers decided to have a partnership with Mark to make a Social Network site for Harvard which began to make mark create the Facebook. Mark agreed to the Winklevoss’ suggestion but didn’t really intend to cooperate with them but just to have a full grant access to the Harvards domain Harvard.edu.

It was soon recognized by a famous Internet Technology Businessman and Entrepreneur Sean Parker. Parker got really interested and made the Facebook expand wider to other countries. Which until today runs at its finest and continuous in providing added features to maintain user subscription.

I believe that this film helped many people in unraveling the mysteries of Facebook and the real story behind its success.

Antitrust: Movie Review

The story revolves on a very gifted software designer and programmer Milo Hoffman. Together with his best friend Teddy, they were about to release a firm in which it'll help to create ways for different channels of digital technology to work as one with harmony.

However, the plan didn't work well when Milo suddenly receives a message from a very large company offered by Gary Winston, a very powerful and radical thinking person who turned his company in becoming one of the richest computer firms on earth, into joining him with his plan to build and be part of the SYNAPSE Software. SYNAPSE lets you broadcast all of your personal graphic media, pictures, musics videos, documents and etc. While sympathetically believing on Teddy's principle that human knowledge especially computer knowledge belongs to all people and that open source software must be supported at all cost, Milo was lured and provoked by Winstons tempting offer and decided to be one of his model in designing and researching on the SYNAPSE.

But Milo underestimates the ruthlessness of the leading-edge software industry, and he soon learns there's a sinister undercurrent to Winston's drive to stay on top.

Milo found a way to stop this controversy, and he did it by making the SYNAPSE open source to to global network using the the SYNAPSE software itself and vulgarly broadcast Winston's Dialogue about the survival of the fittest.

Later on, Milo became popular for hisn heroic deed and Winston was deemed Guilty of multiple crimes including the massacre of Milo's best friend Teddy.

While the cast is great, the best part of the film is the message it says regarding the capitalistic greed of Gary Winston and the altruistic motivation of Milo Hoffman. It's actually a surprisingly apt think piece about corporate power vs. open source.

 I enjoyed watching the film this rising issue will definitely raise war between corporate businesses to open source business. For me, human knowledge do really belong to everyone so, HOORAY for open sourceXD

Buhay Pinoy

Word of the Lourd: Diyahe Peace
Bakit kaya tayong mga pinoy mahilig magtira ng isang pirasong pagkain sa mga kinakain natin. Ika nga save the best for last kaso di naman kinakain, nagsave ka pa. Hindi rin naman yun matatawag na tira-tira dahil iisang piraso nga lang ang naiwan. Ano nga ba ang rason sa misteryong bumabalot dito? Nagkakahiyaan ba tayo? Ayaw matawag na "Patay Gutom"? Nagdyedyeta? o gusto mo lang ipamukhang Generous kang tao?
Maging anu man ang rason, isa lang ang masasabi ko sa tatak-pinoy nating ugaling ito. "SAYANG"!

Naisipan kong gumawa ng blog sa video na napanuod ko mula kay Lourd De Veyra. Diyahe Peace:))

Planking!

Planking or the lying down game is a worldwide activity in which you must lie face down in any location(i.e stairs, floors, table, car, billboard, etc.) or in any surface with your hands touching the sides of your body. It is usually done for Photographic purposes and the like. Few weeks ago, the social networking site Facebook receive tremendous number of image uploads which is probably made by the Planking Phenomenon.

I myself had just tried it last afternoon. I find it very fun and exciting activity. You would surely want to try it for your new Profile Picture:D
