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.
Very nice video of Steve Wozniak talking about the early days of Apple and his design philosophies.
Interesting article on what was going on behind the scenes during the secretive development of the iPhone.
A tyrannosaurus was closer in time to listening to a Miley Cyrus concert than to seeing a live stegosaurus.
I read this yesterday and learned more, much more about the chicken that I ever wanted to know.
Researchers catalog a lot more more ghettos, slave labor camps, concentration camps than they expected.
Historical black and white photos, colorized.
The title says it all.
Cool article, and I don't even like basketball!
The story of ARM, the company that designs the chip inside your phone. Part 1.
La historia del fundador de Monterrey quien murió en las manos de la Inquisición por judío.
Interactive graphic.
Here they are, high resolution scans of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Israel and Google put a digitized version of the Dead Sea Scrolls online. This is pretty cool.
Legendary baseball player Mickey Mantle describes his most outstanding moment with the Yankees. His answer is one of the most sincere, coolest, and funniest things you've read in a while.
Google doing no evil: they will help digitize Yad Vashem's holocaust archive. Via Moi.
This is an extremely interesting interview to Steve Jobs published in 1985 by Newsweek.
This is right after Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple Computer, after he shipped the Macintosh but before he founded NeXT. What's most interesting is to see how a lot of his philosophy remains the same.
Impressive photos of the remains of Russia's failed anwer to the U.S.A's Space Shuttle.
A short timeline describing the attacks that WikiLeaks have suffered from almost every possible angle.
Amazing, a recording from 1909 of President Porfirio Diaz, dictating a letter to Thomas A. Edison.
i had never heard about this. Very interesting.
Very interesting article about the Conficker worm.
The future is so scary.
They've been through a lot...
Very nice video about Messi's childhood. In Spanish.
Very interesting details on the very beginning of Facebook. To me Facebook is a shady, douche-like entity trying to violate your privacy as much as possible without getting into too much trouble. They keep testing the boundaries to see how far they can get. Unsurprisingly, looks like the ethics for the website come directly from the original founder.
Feel free to gift this to me.
Retro, geeky, and stylish.
Little piece of American history I did not know about.
