Netscape Communications (formerly known as Netscape Communications Corporation and commonly known as Netscape) is a US computer services company, best known for Netscape Navigator, its web browser. When it was an independent company, its headquarters were in Mountain View, California. The name Netscape was a trademark of Cisco Systems.
Netscape's web browser was once dominant in terms of usage share, but lost most of that share to Internet Explorer during the first browser war. By the end of 2006, the usage share of Netscape browsers had fallen, from over 90% in the mid 1990s, to less than 1%.
Netscape is credited with developing the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol (SSL) for securing online communication, which is still widely used, as well as JavaScript, the most widely used language for client-side scripting of web pages.

During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with 6.4 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
I need to break out
I need to get away
Before I breakdown
Before I suffocate
We're on lock down
Freedom controlled
And this is not my home
This is not my home
[Pre Chorus:]
Lights out
No place to go
Lights out
[Chorus:]
There's no way to escape, escape, escape
I'm trapped and bound
Surrounded everyday all day, all day
I need out now
There's nothing I can do
I'm hearing voices
They tell me not to think
Limit my choices
My sentence penned in ink
And when i wake up
I'm not at home
My future so unknown
Future so unknown
[Pre Chorus]
