I am a plate that is made of clay that was taken from the Earth of Japan. But before I was made into a plate I was up to the mountains near a big forest that had a Jinja on top a beautiful waterfall where water fell from the top to the bottom and sometimes flowing to rivers. But when winter comes the waterfall would freeze into shards and when the winter goes the shards and snow turn into water filling up the waterfall making a waterfall from the top to the bottom flowing with an immense amount of water to rivers and ponds that would sometimes connect with the waterfall. My maker crafted me to be used as art depicting many natural objects or buildings even sometimes people in the drawing. I am also used to hold a meal for a person who would eat the nourishment from top to bottom. Most of the time I would have fish from the ocean or rice that was farmed in flatlands on top of me.

But no surprise, the Jets came up short again, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19. After that, it all went down hill.

With the decrease of wins most people, me included, you lose hope, and wonder when is that next year going to happen. If you want the easy answer as to why there is such a big difference between the years, just look at the Jets overall rating. It is like a roller coaster, from good one year to bad the next. But the real question is why was there this
What information from this week’s articles might be helpful as you think through this case?
Microsoft is an American company that was founded by William Henry Gates III, as known as Bill Gates, and his his high school friend Paul Gardner Allen in 1975 April 4. But unluckily, Paul Allen resigned from Microsoft in 1983 after developing Hodgkin’s disease. In 1985 October 20, Microsoft released Microsoft window. It is the first original operating system. It is a graphical extension for MS-DOS. Even though, it’s not handy like nowadays Microsoft window.

The Microsoft Word was the first application that could display italics. And the Microsoft Office would be available for free for all the PC World’s computer that is produce on that same year in November.

This article starts by talking about the rumor, and how it is affecting the company. After a certain point in time they could no longer keep devoting resources to the rumor so they entered a legal suit.

You certainly know who they are, and you wish you didn't. Microsoft is the company that consumers rejoice when one of their products flop. Windows, their widely used computer operating system, was totally fucked up when Windows 8 was released, according to raging customers. Windows Phone 8 seems too simple and stumbles when it comes to apps. Bing, Microsoft's search engine, is no match for the mighty Google, or as I like to say, Scroogle. Internet Explorer is ignored by millions because of its slowness, causing agitation and hair pulling. Accidentally click that obnoxious blue "e" and you'll be at your computer for twenty minutes, waiting as it slowly loads. Xbox, Skype, and Office are considered the only decent products left, but even those are beginning to slip.
“His agreements with hardware manufacturers have often served to prevent the success of rival products even when they are already on the market and Microsoft versions have yet to be completed. In 1995, the development of Windows 95, a revolutionary operating system, drove hardware manufacturers to produce computers with more memory and more hard disk space. Microsoft thus effectively compelled the entire computer industry to follow its lead. Such practices involved Gates and Microsoft in legal struggles over alleged anticompetitive practices and copyright infringement throughout the 1990s”(McGuire 1). With their more advanced operating systems they had to have more advanced computers that can run them but the other companies couldn't update their operating system as fast.

In recent years, however, most of the moves that Microsoft has made have not been in a market leader position, but have been in response to competitors threatening Microsoft’s positions.
Only piece of information I would like to take a look at in order to better understand this case would be the contracts they have set up with the personal computer manufactures. This could be beneficial to know if they state in there that any computer they have download Microsoft Windows on has to come with Internet Explorer and even if requested by the customer to have other Internet browser place on the computer it will not be allowed. This could provide great insight into more reason why Microsoft is a mono...
