Bill G. vs Mark Z.
There are countless games released since microsoft create MS-DOS OS system. Games keep developing
alongside with the improvement of microsoft OS platform. From DOS to Windows 3 then Windows 95,98,... until Windows 7,
right now games on windows have incredible graphic. They are look so real. Beside, microsoft released directX which
give game developers power to create more powerful graphic. Even the game console, best gaming platform nowaday is
XBOX360 from Microsoft.
But for Mark Z. who created facebook. Games on facebook is quite simple and may can be addicted by non-hardcore gamer.
Graphics on facebook also really simple and cannot put much more contents inside it because it is web-base game.
Sociallizing from facebook game may look silly when compare to "Real" PC/Console online games.
In my opinion, facebook games are great for casual gamers who doesn't like to play more complicate games.
While PC/console games are for hardcore gamers who like to see impressive quality of graphics, novel level of storyline
and EPIC soundtrack. And hardcore gamers are the group of people who drive the developing of gaming industry nowaday.
So Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft is way moreeeee important than Mark Z.

Bill Gates is a founder of Microsoft. He served as CEO and chief software architect for the Microsoft. In 1970, Bill Gates and his companions are designed computer programming language, Microsoft BASIC. It is also was based on MS-DOS operating system. Because of the emergence of this system, it led to the development of DOS games. Thus it derived a number of different computer games now. It is can be said that computer games were born from the computer program that he created. Without these epoch-making invention of the computer programming language to be created, I am afraid there are not have such a wide variety of computer games.
Mark Zuckerburg is the CEO and chairman for the well-known social networking site Facebook. He was dubbed "Gates II" in the world by people. Because when they were 19, they established a company and started their business. They also born and educated in middle-class families. They were also a Harvard dropout and the same young people to gain respect. If Microsoft is a milestone in computer programs, then FACEBOOK is the leader of the world network. Microsoft is allow people to get a better understanding of the computer and FACEBOOK is allow people to get better understand the world from computer. It reforms and promote the Development and application of the Internet. It also makes the online game increasing emphasis on user experience as well as exchanges and cooperation between people. We can be said that Mark and his predecessors Bill Gates have made great contributions on IT industry and gaming industry.

Bill Gates:
Bill has never designed a game or not exactly like a gamer, but he and his platform has always been the strongest supportive backing in all time. From the earliest days, Microsoft has started to support PC game and publish game, they brought out bunch of famous known game engines and publishers, also provides game developers a platform to free their minds on creating genres and being innovative on game design.
Through these years, bill was always there point game design community a right direction and giving them encouragement, meanwhile, making continuous changes on the MS-DOS and windows operating system to adapt to the fresh needs from game industry. therefore bill with his Microsoft has never stop to contain the new technologies into the operating system and keep conquest all sorts of difficulties all together with the most of game developers.
Nowadays, console industry is amazingly developed and grown up become ever strong, bill and his company never fall behind of the evolution, they launched xbox and xbox 360 console which helped a lot of PC user or gamer to smoothly jump from PC platform to a console platform.
All along the journey, i think bill made these investigation on gaming just because of he likes game, and his recognition on the gaming history reinforced its growth, and bill with his trustworthy system could never be neglected as the most important part of gaming development history.
Mark Z:
Mark is a genius hacker and understands what people likes his age needs the most. Differ from Bill Gates, Mark has planted a social network platform on gaming industry, it seems tiny small and can be totally submerged among the whole strongly developed game industry, however, nobody ever dare to not to integrate Facebook based game in game industry, and nobody ever stop playing those games on Facebook.
Obiviously, Mark established a world wide net socialized community, the Facebook, so just the game published inside is socialized as well. instead of leaving message, publish photos or sharing information, Facebook game became another way to social and convinced people to be connected from everywhere. Because of Mark's contribution, increasingly numbers of people gets to play web-based free game, large scale of game designer comes to endeavor in the design of web-based game.
Mark is a smart guy to earn money not only from the website he creates but also from the potential of web-based game developing.
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are all make huge impacts on gaming industry that nobody could exceed, thanks to their contribution, we can have so much fun in our daily life.

Mark Zuckerburg vs Steve Jobs
Based on what was shown in the two movies, there's certainly a good deal of similarities between the two people beyond the fact that they each own a multi-billion-dollar entity that is a household name for anyone even remotely literate with computers. The most obvious is their means of rising to their high status, precisely the drama that both movies clearly intended to highlight and showcase: dropping their closest friends and allies, especially those who supported them and were a very great help in their projects from the very beginning. Related to this is the personality change that both people undergo; from happy-go-lucky fun people who do their projects to prove something to the world, to self-centered pricks who are more than willing to step on everyone around them in order to keep their business going, starting with using someone else's ideas as their own. Admirable raw talent notwithstanding, the two movies seem to make it a moral lesson to "steal someone else's ideas instead of making your own", and "forget being a nice guy, I'm rich and famous!". The only difference between the two seems to be the targets and strength of their bad attitude. Steve Jobs is VERY nice to customers and when there's a lot of people around, but VERY offensive to co-workers when no one else is looking. Mark Zuckerburg is only mildly offensive, but he's mildly offensive to everyone.
Note, this observation is based only on the two movies. As to how much of it is truth, and how much of it is a massive exaggeration to help sell the movies, is anyone's guess.

Who is more important to gaming, Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates?
Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates both are important to gaming.
In my opinion, Mark Zuckerberg is more important to gaming. Because Zuckerberg is standing on the shoulders of giants. Zuckerberg announced Facebook Platform on May 24, 2007. Facebook Platform is a development platform for programmers to create social application within Facebook. Facebook platform is a new platform in gaming. According to the statistics, as of January of 2011, there are more than 600 million active users on Facebook. Moreover, the applications ssuch as FarmVille and CityVille are very popular online games besed on facebook today. They are probably the future canon games.
I think Mark Zuckerberg is more potential and innocative to gaming in the future.

Draw comparisons between Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs
Zuck and Jobs are both Genius and leader in the industry. Jobs was the inventor of many ideas which completely changed the computer world. Zuck did kind of same thing but in the social network part. There are so many similarity of both of them, but the most important one is their business sense. That's why they could do such a good job. They both have special personality. Zuck found the great method to deal with the social connection. Jobs has many brilliant ideas on the personal computer.
The biggest difference between them is that Jobs is good at presentation and selling ideas. But Zuck is not that good in presentation stuff, he is a more technique guy. He even rejected a meeting with Microsoft company just because the meeting is at 8am, which is too early for him to get up.- - Although I think it is a great chance for him and he wasted it, I still want to say I like him, because I can not get up that early either.
