Title: Will Steve Jobs' final vendetta haunt Google?
Author: MICHAEL LIEDTKE
Source: The Miami Herald
The topic of the article is Steve Jobs death could hurt Google's mobile operating system, "Android" since he claims that "Google stole Apple's Ios system"
The main idea of the article is: Steve Jobs (and his death) vs. Google            
                                          (implied/stated)          
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to explain about Steve Jobs' troubles with other companies and other operating system platforms.
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because he sides on which one of the 2 is true.
The pattern of organization of the article is put in a small time period of Apple products and how the mobile industry is.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because how he wants to show about Jobs' death and Google's mobile operating platform, Android.
The text features included in the article are: The title was used in the article. A picture of Steve holding an Ipod Nano 3rd generation with a mini article displayed next to it.
This article is about (a summary in your own words)
This article is about Steve Jobs' death could hurt Google's mobile platform, Android. Which many people use and how Google is dominating the mobile world. Plus Steve wants Google eliminated no matter what it takes.
The significance (importance) of this article is how this is related to Jobs' death and how this about the "Android vs. Ios" scenario. 
What I learned from this article is that Steve Jobs is biased against Google and how he wants Google's mobile operating system gone.
What I liked about this article was how it was about Android and Apple which are to me in my opinion the best PMPs and computers.
What I did not like about it was how the author was on Steve's side about this "tech war" and how Jobs was like "I want Android gone and killed even if I have to start WWIII."
Who should read this article and why:
Engadget; because they are all in the "tech scene" and know  about the "Android vs. Ios" debate/war
Android developers; because they know Android and how it works. Plus I know that it was created in 2006 but only mobile platform developers had a prototype of Android.
Maybe "fanboys" of each side if they are biased against one side and another, but this could make them start raging about Google,Apple,and maybe RIM (BlackBerry) if a RIM "troll" comes in and say they are better which I disagree with RIM.
This article reminds me of 
(text-to-self) Me getting my first ever Android device which was the Archos 32.
(text-to-text) The developing code for Android and Ios.
(text-to-world) The "fanboy" war against all mobile operating system platforms.
New vocabulary I learned
I did not learn any new vocabulary after reading this article.

Dear Whoever is reading this,

I recently reread "The Hardy Boys Case Files Dead on target". This is an awesome mystery book. Its mostly about Joe and Frank trying to get revenge on a terrorist, Al-Rousasa who is linked to "The Network" a terrorist group. When they park there car they needed to grab something. So Joe's girlfriend, Iola went to go get the stuff and she gets blown to bits by a car bomb that was meant for the Hardy Boys. This version of the Hardy Boys is different from others because they killed off a character. In the end of the book Al-Rousasa commits suicide after fighting the Hardy Boys. But, later in the Case File series he gets resurrected from the dead. That's quite odd who that happened. The terrorist didn't use a bomb to commit suicide but took a 3 story fall. His last quote was "Nobody takes an assassin alive" the book should of used that quote if he was a suicide bomber since it will fit better then jumping to your death. I recommend this book to anyone who likes The Hardy Boys series. The original or old ones are better than the newer ones. So that's it hope whoever you are enjoyed. Comment, fav, subscribe wait... This is not YouTube, but you can comment! Hope you liked it!

Dear Ethan,

I just read the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. Ever since his recent death this is the more updated biography of him. We all know he made Apple not all of it Steve Wozniak also helped, but did you know it started in his parents garage? The first ever Apple computer was the Apple I. It was a diy kit sold to the consumer. Then the next ones in line were the Apple II which was extreamly successful, Apple III the flop, Macintosh, Quadra/Performa, Power Macintosh, its clones, and then the modern Mac. During his time he left apple Around the 90's. We all know Pixar right? Guess who made it successful? "Mr.Mac" he made pixar do 3d models not 3d movies like how you where glasses. Then he came back to Apple after Pixar Studios. He had a lot of cleaning up to do. Many clones were let in place because of the ceo that was there after Steve cam back. Now that Steve is gone don't you think that history will literally repeat itself? He made the world different and better. If he "Ipwned" cancer he would of made Apple be great and not let history repeat itself ( if it does happen). Think Different

Dear Alexander,

I finished reading the book "Extra Lives - Why Video Games Matter" by Tom Bissell. This book is a combinations of video games and about his life which is quite disturbing. In some chapters he throws in stuff about his life and then mostly talked about his life instead of games. His life is disturbing and makes me want to say "TMI TMI dude we don't need to know that!". Apparently the author is a junkie because most of the time he talks about how in life he did "stuff". Tom even admits he lives a disturbed life in the book. In the book Tom talks about how he has gone through many Xboxes. He took around about 10 pages to talk about how he moved gave away a Xbox and then move on to a new country. Tom even went all the way back and talked about his school life. He went on and talked about how he went to a strict Catholic school which he never named. In his school time he talked about how he played a game with his schoolmates who can make the best die hard fake death with imaginary weapons. Looks like he is watching too many die hard movies. He also listed his gamertag on Xbox live and his PSN name. Im pretty sure you wont bother with it since you don't have either or. He has been to many countries, I don't see why he has constantly moved around the world for no reason. He done many things to express feelings and about more than video games but about his life.

I wouldn't recommend it to you since he made the book disturbing, but to anyone else who wants to read about it go ahead knock yourself out see if it interest you. Well that's all I have to type so bye!

Dear Julio,

     I finished reading the book "The Day It Snowed Tortillas" by Joe Hayes. The book is not what you might think. The book is about this lady who married a person that cuts wood for work. The woodcutter was well, I wouldn't say stupid but he doesn't know how to read and write. The wife thought well since he doesn't know how to that she sent the grown man to school. He didn't like it so he ran off to chuck wood. He came home with gold he found and told his wife to not tell anyone about because robbers might kill them. Later then they got robbed. Now the story's title starts to make sense. The robbers wanted the gold, so 2 used trickery and acted crazy to ________. I don't want to show a spoiler you will find out soon. I love this book and recommend it. Get the book if you like it. Well that's all folks!
