I love producing new tech and I &amp;quot;held my own&amp;quot; with the biggest tech corporation. I am still working with them without knowing if I am appreciated for some of the most &amp;nbsp;innovative tech advances of 2008.including hits like &amp;nbsp;Windows Office,Works,Live, ZUNE,Ct Visual Platform,Silverlight 2,CRM, Microsoft Dynamics,Windows 8.0,SQL Server etc etc etc.I do not own these applications,I have and share rights to mention them until my rights run out.I can&amp;#39;t purchase patents, because I &amp;nbsp;haven&amp;#39;t been compensated for my 9 months of working my&amp;quot;ASS&amp;quot;off to prove I am a woman who wants to support her family and keep my home,which has just about run out of time and will be forclosed right around the holidays. The money I asked for eye surgery,I am legally blind in my right eye, and the little loan I had to askfor and forget the embarressment, was never wired to me. I am just a woman trying to support her family during the holidays.How did I get so lucky???? &amp;nbsp;I am so depressed. I developed the smart &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;phone &amp;nbsp;with my invention mobile broadband &amp;nbsp;2.0 , in March2008, on a Apple Iphone and I don&amp;#39;teven have a phone from all the mobile companies I workedforfree.YOU ALL HAVE A PIECE OF ME, my tech and my hardwork,sweat and many tears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Happy Holidays I still have faith and I am blessed to have my adorable littlegirls who have one thing on their holiday list, a Mac laptop , because they know I &amp;nbsp;am short on cash , isn&amp;#39;t &amp;nbsp;that too cute??. My Sammy said&amp;quot; a Mac costs about $99.00 dollars?.&amp;#39;&amp;#39;Just about &amp;#39;I answered.&lt;/p&gt;
