Although much is heard about the plight of the Palestinian refugees from the aftermath of the 1948 Israeli War of Independence and the 1967 Six Day War, little is said about the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were forced to flee from Arab states before and after the creation of Israel. In fact, these refugees were largely forgotten because they were assimilated into their new homes, most in Israel, and neither the United Nations nor any other international agency took up their cause or demanded restitution for the property and money taken from them. Legislation passed in the Knesset during 2015 designated November 30 as a day of recognition for Jewish refugees from Arab countries.

Interesting and well made video about the history of wireless networking. This wasn’t that long ago, yet it’s hard to remember life before WiFi.

I have visited parks with giant statues of leaders in former-Soviet countries. But I never knew something similar had been attempted in the US recently. And of course it was a private enterprise over here. It’d be cool to see these statues in their present state.

This video is for the hardcore Mac users (those that used to be called MacZealots) that appreciate computer history done by the Computer History Museum on the 40th Anniversary of the Mac.. They put together a group of well-known people who worked on the original Mac to talk about it, telling stories never heard before. Super enjoyable and interesting, if you're into that sort of thing.

Today is the 40th anniversary of Macintosh. I’ve been a Mac user for almost 40 years. Lots of memories on this website.

Part 1 of 4 (read all 4).
I first learned to program on a Commodore 64. I owned a Commodore 128. And I was fascinated by the Amiga – although I was already a Mac user by then.

Abort Retry Fail is a publication that focuses on computing history.

I've enjoyed their posts. They are information-dense, condensed, and to the point. And they often cover aspects of computer history that I know little about.

Well made 3D renders of what the city of Tenochtitlán would have looked like.

This is a pretty cool game for guessing photo dates.

Cool website shows “notable” people in their birthplace.

I found the immigration records for several family members here. Super neat.

I was under the wrong impression that it came from Civil War soldiers carrying signs for "zero killed."

A short history of Ali Abdullah Saleh. Another longtime dictator who is now gone.

I love these history tech articles.

Fun video.

I had no idea about this city.

incredible. But even a comparison from 15 years ago shows incredible change.

Guide to figuring out the age of an undated world map. Should you even find yourself in such situation.

I know the whole world has already linked to this, but it's too nice to pass up.
