When I was first assigned this research paper on Voodoo, the first thing I thought of was Voodoo dolls, zombies, and evil magic. I think Voodoo is an evil religion which sacrifices humans as well as animals to demonic gods. I think it has been around for thousands of years, but is little left today. I believe that Voodoo is nothing but evil and the work of the devil. Voodoo originated in Western Africa by the Yoruba tribe. The Yoruba religion has about four hundred lesser gods called Orisa. This

The Internet is the transport vehicle for the information stored in files or documents on another computer. It can be compared
trial is about the free internet browser, Internet Explorer, that Microsoft gives out free and includes with its Operating system, Windows. Netscape does the same marketing of its product except that it does not have any operating system to sell with. Netscape is a relatively older browser and prior to Internet Explorer, there was only one browser, Netscape. There have been innumerous upgrades and newer versions of these browsers since Internet Explorer’s launch in the market. The computer industry
understanding of these languages, the history of these languages with overviews will be presented along with a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks. The History of Java In the middle of May 1995 Java was introduced into the world, and along with Netscape it would be the new way for Internet users to access this new information superhighway. But before it got to this point, Java technology was developed almost by accident. Back in 1991, Sun Microsystems was looking into the future in anticipation
and its founder Bill Gates of monopolistic practices in bundling its internet browser “Internet Explorer” into its popular Windows computer operating system. By doing this, Microsoft would effectively crush its competitors (it’s main rival being Netscape Navigator), and acquire a monopoly over the software that people use to access the Internet. I recently heard a listener on NPR (National Public Radio) comment about the monopoly issue between Microsoft and the U.S. D.O.J. that “Intellectual endeavors

Andreessen eventually started his own company and named it Netscape and released a “Mosaic-influenced Netscape navigator (Andreessen).” Eventually Microsoft wanted in on the excitement of the internet. Microsoft developed Internet Explorer in 1995, which was also based off of Mosaic (Search Engine Journal). It became war from here on out with the internet browsers. Internet became the most popular web browser to be used. In 1998, Netscape produced Mozilla Foundation, which was going to by a competitor
violation of the Sherman Act happened because Microsoft used monopolistic means to continue its monopoly power. According to the court, Microsoft was afraid that the success of Netscape’s Navigator, which allowed people to surf the Internet, might allow Netscape to develop its software to contain a competitive PC operating system (software that would warn the Windows monopoly). Moreover, that Sun’s Internet applications ‘Java’ programming might finally jeopardize Microsoft’s Windows monopoly. To counter

The entities that have a stake in the outcomes are Microsoft’s competition like Sun Micro Systems, Real Networks, Netscape and the general public as well as the government.
