Happy Birthday, BBS!
Posted on February 17, 2010 | No Comments
WWIV, Wildcat, Celerity -- these hallowed names represent the best of a golden era of communication, back when "getting online" meant tying up the family phone line, remembering arcane Hayes AT codes to maximize performance out of the 9600 baud modem your dad borrowed from work, and TradeWars was the best multiplayer game available. Yes, I'm talking about Bulletin Board Systems, originally text based and later augmented with ANSI graphics. The first public BBS celebrated its birthday yesterday, and I think it's a fair bet that few of us would be engaging in discussion today if it weren't for that simple little computer bulletin board in 1978. Why even our esteemed leader John Biggs ran a bulletin board system for a brief while!

Is it ironic that this $10,000 computer only sold 10,000 units? Released on January 19, 1983, LISA (Local Integrated Software Architecture) was a gigantic flop, but paved the way for the success of the Apple Macintosh, which paved the way for the success of the MacBook, which paved the way for the success of the iPhone, which paved the way for the success of the Apple Tablet!

Happy Birthday, Linus Torvalds!
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No Comments
Guys! Sshhhhh! Listen. It was Linus "Linux" Torvalds birthday yesterday and we forgot to buy him a present. What we need to do is give him so more market share in the desktop OS market so here's what we're going to do: we're all going to install and learn out to use Linux, even you guys back there running Windows 7. Just free up a little disk space - maybe delete a DLL? - and install something like Ubuntu or the like.

Posted on October 20, 2009 | No CommentsRight now Devin is probably doing Everclear shots and dancing the Macarena with an old woman in a pantsuit because it's his birthday! That's right, our own Devin Coldewey just turned 18 and he's legal, ladies. If you see him tonight buy him a Fuzzy Nipple on CrunchGear.
