System/360 Turns 40







System/360 Turns 40

System/360 Turns 40 04/09/2004 04:05 PM

IBM Celebrates 40 Years of Mainframe Technology: Chris once programmed one of these to play Doom. Seriously.

Today, IBM marks the 40th anniversary of the System/360, the mainframe that sparked a revolution in computing and business. The System/360 was considered by many to be the most sophisticated computer of its time and is responsible for introducing many important technologies that are still in use today, such as transaction processing, micro-circuitry, and databases.

If you're interested in the origin of databases as we know them today, look up Ted Codd. He wrote a paper in 1970 that started the whole thing. IBM let it go to waste, but Larry Ellison used to it to build the Oracle database platform, and he seems to have done okay for himself.

Mark Frauenfelder: The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link will turn 20 in April. I became a member in 1989 and though I haven't posted anything there in years, the discussions I had there and the friends I made have had a profound influence on my life.
Incredibly, twenty years of living online have sped by since the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link opened to members on April 1, 1985. Twenty years is a milestone in the life of any group or town. A full generation of WELLbeings have changed and been changed by extraordinary experiences together here. Serious celebration is in order through the month of April! WELL members past, present and future are invited to celebrate this milestone with us online and off.

Twenty years ago this week, during the year of Big Brother, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak introduced the Apple Macintosh. Although the seminal advert sticks in everyone's minds, it's easy to forget just how revolutionary that little beige, boxy, Mac was. At the time, Windows version 1 was still a year away, and overlapping windows and icons on the PC would not appear for another three years, in the form of Windows 2--later to be renamed Windows 286. And of course all those early versions of Windows ran on top of the DOS command-line operating system.

As the Oddworld Turns


As the Oddworld Turns 06/17/2004 01:24 PM

Oddworld's game starring The Stranger, a combination of Clint Eastwood, Rob Halford, Popeye, Mega Man, a lion, and a monkey, is now once again with publisher. Earlier reports that Microsoft had bought out Atari's stake in the company turned out to be erroneous; it was actually Oddworld Inhabitants themselves who bought out Atari by handing them publishing royalties from Microsoft.

The now fully independent Oddworld is co-habitating with Electronic Arts to get this still-untitled game out in the world. Will EA now also pick up the other high-profile game Microsoft dropped from its rolls, Psychonauts? My sources say, "Gymkat a!" My sources are fired.
