Techmoan (04.11.2023) Did you ever wonder what device was responsible for playing the music heard through headphones plugged into the armrest of an aeroplane? Here’s one tape based machine that was still providing passengers with in-flight entertainment more recently than you might expect.

NDC Conferences (13.11.2018) The story of the web is a story about freedom. It’s a story about information, about breaking down barriers, about creating new ways for people to communicate, to collaborate, and to share their ideas.

FreeDOS (23.06.2023) In a conversation for a podcast, not long ago, we talked about how some computer science grads can find themselves working in organizations that have old tech. The conversation we had was about programming languages. Like, computer science grads will find they have to work with COBOL or FORTRAN, and they don’t know […]

FreeDOS (11.07.2023) We don’t give much thought these days to what “Unix” means. In 2023, most Unix systems are actually running some version of Linux, which includes modern tools and commands that were unthinkable when Unix hit the scene in the early 1970s. But some 50 years later, “Unix” still lives on. I wanted to […]

FreeDOS (28.06.2020) If you know me, you know I love a good DOS spreadsheet. And Quattro Pro was really the last bastion of DOS spreadsheets before Windows dominated the workplace. In the video, I mention the lawsuit between Lotus (1-2-3) and Borland (Quattro Pro) about the menus. You can read a quick summary on Wikipedia: […]

By Neal Stephenson About twenty years ago Jobs and Wozniak, the founders of Apple, came up with the very strange idea of selling information processing machines for use in the home.

Filmmaker IQ (01.02.2020) Today we know that 29.97 fps is a hallmark of NTSC video. We may even know the mathematical reasoning behind it. But the war for color television that birthed that oddball number, a war that raged for over a decade and left an imprint on the soul of electronic moving pictures has […]

Einfach Erklärt (28.09.2023) Google hat seit langem kein wirklich erfolgreiches Produkt mehr herausgebracht, zumindest für Endverbraucher, aber trotzdem geht es dem Unternehmen gut. Woran das liegt?

Logically Answered (18.09.2023) Windows and Android are universally known as two of the most popular operating systems in existence but what if I told you that there was an operating system that was even more popular? That operating system is Linux. This might sound confusing at first glance given that Linux is usually seen as […]

Little Car (11.01.2020) What if I told you we had the ability to text each other in 1933. What?!? Well, before the advent of texting and even before faxing (I’m sure some of you young people are now wondering what a fax was), there was the Telex, which stood for “Telegraph Exchange”. It’s a now […]
