Bill Gates is an American business magnate and philanthropist who co-founded Microsoft, the world's largest PC software company. He was born in 1955 in Seattle, Washington to an upper-middle class family and showed early signs of intelligence. In 1975, he founded Microsoft with Paul Allen and developed the programming language Altair BASIC, which helped launch the company. Microsoft later signed a pivotal deal with IBM in 1980 to develop the operating system for their first personal computer, known as MS-DOS, which became the dominant platform for PCs. Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft in 2000 and now focuses his time on his philanthropic work through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which aims to enhance healthcare and education worldwide

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle in a family having rich business, political and community service background. His great-grandfather was a state legislator and a mayor, his grandfather was vice president of national bank and his father was a lawyer.
Bill believed in achieving his goals through hard work. He also believes that if you are intelligent and know how to use your intelligence, you can reach your goals and targets. From his early days Bill was ambitious, competitive and intelligent.
These qualities helped him to attain great position in the profession he chose also Bill was deemed by his peers and his teachers as the smartest kid on campus; Bill’s parents came to know their son’s intelligence and decided to enroll him in a private school, known for its intense academic environment. That was the most important decision in Bill Gate’s life where he was first introduced to computers. Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in computer and formed “Programmers Group” in late 1968. Being in this group, they found a new way to apply their computer skill in university of Washington. In the next year, they got their first opportunity in Information Sciences Inc. in which they were selected as programmers. ISI (Information Sciences Inc.) agreed to give them royalties, whenever it made money from any of the group’s program. As a result of the business deal signed with Information Sciences Inc., the group also became a legal business.
Data is the oil of the new millennia…considered a company’s most important asset by many. At the same time, in this age of digitalization, companies are more and more exposing their most important assets to cybercrime – the theft and misuse of data. In this session, you’ll learn the 7 major trends putting businesses at risk, the one big mistake most are making and how you can accurately measure risk and begin taking action, without breaking the bank.
Presentation I did at Social Bar at the 4th of November in Berlin. It's a 10 minute talk about open government data for people who are not familiar with the topic.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

7. MICROSOFT
Founded April 4 1975 by Bill Gates and
Paul Allen.
They developed a language for the
Altair 8800, called Altair BASIC.
This code was distributed with the
Altair 8800 system, making it
Microsoft's first distributed code in
companies such as Commodore, Texas
Instruments, etc.
8. IBM PARTNERSHIP
IBM approached Microsoft in July 1980 regarding its
upcoming personal computer.
Gates referred them to Digital Research (DRI) for the
OS needed by IBM.
IBM's discussions with Digital Research went poorly,
and they did not reach a licensing agreement.
A few weeks later Gates proposed using 86-
DOS (QDOS), an operating system similar to CP/M
that Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products (SCP)
had made for hardware similar to the PC.
9. Microsoft made a deal with SCP to become the
exclusive licensing agent, and later the full owner, of 86-
DOS. After adapting the operating system for the PC,
Microsoft delivered it to IBM as PC DOS in exchange for
a one-time fee of $50,000.

Competition with Intuit which makes Quicken and
Quickbooks.
Netscape V/S Microsoft

in BASIC and other languages for IBM PC.
