Hollywood y el Star System	Hollywood and the Star System
En Estados Unidos, el cine tuvo un éxito arrollador, por una peculiar circunstancia social: al ser un país de inmigrantes, muchos de los cuales no hablaban el inglés, tanto el teatro como la prensa o los libros les estaban vedados por la barrera idiomática, y así el cine mudo se transformó en una fuente muy importante de esparcimiento para ellos.	In the United States, the cinema experienced overwhelming success, due to a peculiar social circumstance: being a country of immigrants, many of whom did not speak English, the theater as well as books and the press were forbidden them by the language barrier, and thus silent movies became a very important source of entertainment for them.
Viendo las perspectivas de este negocio, y basándose en su patente sobre el kinetoscopio, Thomas Alva Edison intentó tomar el control de los derechos sobre la explotación del cinematógrafo.	Seeing the prospects of this deal, Thomas Alva Edison tried to take control of the exploitation rights of the cinematograph, on the basis of his patent on the kinetoscope.
El asunto no solo llegó a juicio, de Edison contra los llamados productores independientes, sino que se libró incluso a tiro limpio.	The matter not only went to trial, in Edison v. the so-called independent producers, but he got off scot-free.
Como consecuencia, los productores independientes emigraron desde Nueva York y la costa este, donde Edison era fuerte, hacia el oeste, recientemente pacificado.	As a result, the independent producers left New York and the east coast, where Edison was strong, and migrated to the recently pacified west.
En un pequeño poblado llamado Hollywood, encontraron condiciones ideales para rodar: días soleados casi todo el año, multitud de paisajes que pudieran servir como locaciones, y la cercanía con la frontera de México, en caso de que debieran escapar de la justicia.	In a small town named Hollywood, they encountered ideal filming conditions: sun almost year round, a variety of landscapes that could serve as set locations, and proximity to the Mexican border, in case they needed to escape the law.
Así nació la llamada Meca del Cine, y Hollywood se transformó en el más importante centro cinematográfico del mundo.	So was born the so called Mecca of the Movies, and Hollywood became the most important nexus of film making in the world.

Se conoce como software al equipo lógico o soporte lógico de un sistema informático, que comprende el conjunto de los componentes lógicos necesarios que hacen posible la realización de tareas específicas, en contraposición a los componentes físicos que son llamados hardware.	Software is the logical equipment of a computing system, which includes the set of necessary logical components that enable the execution of specific tasks, in contrast with the physical components which are called hardware.
Los componentes lógicos incluyen, entre muchos otros, las aplicaciones informáticas, tales como el procesador de texto, que permite al usuario realizar todas las tareas concernientes a la edición de textos; el llamado software de sistema, tal como el sistema operativo, que básicamente permite al resto de los programas funcionar adecuadamente, facilitando también la interacción entre los componentes físicos y el resto de las aplicaciones, y proporcionando una interfaz con el usuario.	Logical components include - among many others - software applications, such as word processors, which permit the user to perform all sorts of tasks concerning the editing of text; and so called system software, such as operating systems, which basically allow the rest of the programs to function properly, and also facilitate interaction between the physical components and the rest of the applications, and provide the user with an interface.
