He was awarded TIME Person of the Year (Isaacson 40). Jobs and his various accomplishments tell everyone today how successful he actually was.

The 10,000 Hour Rule “But what truly distinguishes their histories is not their extraordinary talent but their extraordinary opportunities” – Malcom Gladwell Malcom Gladwell in the 10,000 Hour Rule compares mathematicians and also describes how the famous “British Invasion” band came to be and other musicians. Malcom talks about the University of Michigan and how it opened its new Computer Center in 1871 in Ann Arbor. Also how Michigan had one of the most advanced computer science programs in the world. Bill Joy took a tour through the computer center and fell in love with computing sciences. He found a job working on programming during the summer with a professor.
Outliers Chapter 2 In this chapter of Outliers, Gladwell tells the stories behind the success of Bill Joy, Bill Gates, and the Beatles. He opens the chapter talking about the University of Michigan’s newly constructed state of the art computer center and how Bill Joy, one of today’s legendary programmers, happened to stumble across it. He uses this as an introduction to continue strengthening the argument he made in the previous chapter. Adding on to his argument that successful people are the beneficiaries of extraordinary opportunities, he talks about how in order to master a skill, one must practice for at least ten thousand hours. He goes on to say that luck also plays an integral role because you have to be doing the right thing at the right time.
Eventually Ric found himself working in the Music Publishing industry; he developed complicated music programs and software for some of Australia’s most renowned musicians such as INXS. In his spare time he wrote for several music magazines and eventually published his own. After spending some time working in the U.S. Ric eventually acquired a patent to make a music program called One-step. It was during the cycle of upgrade for the software that Ric came up with the idea to lock the program to one single computer. Ric is a born designer, still at a young age Ric began tinkering with a bike design in the mid 70’s.
Pentium Flaw Intel was founded in July 1968 by American engineers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Their Pentium microprocessor was first introduced in 1993. The Pentium was the first Intel chip for PC’s to use parallel processing, which significantly increased its speed. It had 3.1 million transistors on one chip, compared to its predecessor the 80486 with 1.2 million transistors per chip. In 1994 the public began to notice a flaw.
Earth Buddies turned out to be a success, and soon after 500,000 orders were made from K-Mart in the United States. Their second decision followed up after the order they received from Kmart. The agreement to move operations from Harary’s kitchen to a factory employed with 200 members. Their last decision during the development of their company was using a grassroots marketing campaign. Enlisting students to demonstrate their second product, Devil Sticks, at public events across North America.
Memorandum From: Christopher Perez Paralegal To: Damon Martin Supervising Attorney Date: December 9, 2012 Re: Interview of Edgar Ellison on this date Edgar Ellison is the President and Chef Operating Officer of Widgets and Gizmos, Inc., A long association exist between his corporation and our firm. The corporation has recently research and developed their new project. The widgenometer a microscopic circuit etched into aluminum chips by a newly patented process. The widgenometer multiplies the speed of a computer’s central processing unit by as much as tenfold. Sixteen million dollars was invested in the widgenometers development by shareholders.
Henry Ford once said, “I will build a motorcar for the masses…constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise…so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God’s great open spaces.” Firstly, Henry Ford created new technology that nobody has ever seen before. Secondly, Henry Ford created the model T that was the first car ever to be created. Thirdly, Henry Ford was the first man that created the assembly line. Henry Ford changed the way we look at transportation forever this is why he should have a memorial built in his honour. Henry Ford created new technology that nobody has ever seen before.
The first vehicle made by Henry Ford himself was in 1896 and was called the "Quadricycle. "(Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass) This vehicle had four wheels and resembled that of a bicycle, it used a tiller for steering such as a boat would, and had two forward speeds but no reverse gear (Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass). Henry sold this prototype of a car for $200 and then began to watch as the automobile industry started by him began to expand (Ambrose, Steven/Brinkley, Douglass). Once Ford built his own factory, he started to think up a plan to build a car that was both efficient and affordable that most people could have. This car finally emerged from a secret room that he had built in his factory, it was to be called the Model T. For eight hundred and twenty five dollars a customer could purchase a Model T. The Model T was a light 1,200 lbs, had a relatively powerful 20 horsepower engine, and was fairly easy to drive with a two speed foot controlled transmission (Kimes, Beverly).
Ford priced his first Model Ts at $850, undercutting the $2,000 cost of most early cars. Ford Motor Company had built over 15 million Model Ts. According to http://inventors.about.com, accessed November 03, 2012, invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in his car factory in Ford's Highland Park, Michigan plant, around 1913-14. This method reduced production costs for cars by reducing assembly time. According to http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk , accessed October 25, 2012, Ford resented getting involved in war, but after Pearl Harbor he turned over his vast production resources to his country.
