Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Web Browser a C-Class Article from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Web browser A C-class article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A web browser or Internet browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content.[1] Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to related resources. Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by Web servers in private networks or files in file systems. Some browsers can also be used to save information resources to file systems. Contents 1 History 2 Function 3 Features 3.1 User interface 3.2 Privacy and security 3.3 Standards support 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History Main article: History of the web browser The history of the Web browser dates back in to the late 1980s, when a variety of technologies laid the foundation for the first Web browser, WorldWideWeb, by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. That browser brought together a variety of existing and new software and hardware technologies. Ted Nelson and Douglas Engelbart developed the concept of hypertext long before Berners-Lee and CERN. It became the core of the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee does acknowledge Engelbart's contribution. The introduction of the NCSA Mosaic Web browser in 1993 – one of the first graphical Web browsers – led to an explosion in Web use. Marc Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA, soon started his own company, named Netscape, and released the Mosaic-influenced Netscape Navigator in 1994, which quickly became the world's most popular browser, accounting for 90% of all Web use at its peak (see usage share of web browsers).

  • Gopher Protocol to Introduce Orb Tracker -- Iot Tracking Server
    Source : InvestorIdeas.com 07 août 2017 07h30 HE Gopher Protocol to Introduce Orb Tracker -- IoT Tracking Server Investor Ideas discusses new developments with Gopher Protocol Chief Technology Officer POINT ROBERTS, WA--(Marketwired - August 07, 2017) - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including tech, issues a follow up on Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH), a company developing Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence enabled mobile technology. Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) is preparing to roll-out Orb Tracker this summer as its first advanced tracking server designed to provide hardware and software support to Internet of Things (IoT) products. "Gopher Protocol plans to build and install a series of servers that provide a seamless way for software applications to read and write data and execute shared computer programs across machines. These servers utilize Gopher's proprietary, private protocol which enables client machines and mobile devices to mount into the file system and access files and programs as if they were hosted locally," said Gopher Protocol's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Danny Rittman, PhD. Gopher's servers are native to IoT and work in real-time to accommodate tracking hardware. The company is building a number of servers in preparation for initial production of the tracking devices and Gopher's server's array installation and setup was completed at the end of July 2017. In a recent interview with Investor Ideas, Dr. Rittman explained that Gopher's servers utilize parallel computing architecture with several processors that execute and process computations simultaneously. Dividing the workload between more than one processor expedites large computations.

    Before the Web There Was Gopher Philip L. Frana Charles Babbage Institute The World Wide Web, universally well known today, was preceded by an efficient software tool that was fondly named Gopher. The Internet Gopher, much like the Web, enabled users to obtain information quickly and easily. Why, then, did it disappear but the Web did not? Gopher faded into obscurity for two main reasons: hypertext and commerce. Before the Web there was Gopher, a nearly anymore, despite the efforts of a handful of defunct Internet application protocol and asso- individuals to revitalize the protocol.

Mike Saunders and Graham Morrison explore the history and future of FOSS. here’s a problem with the word ‘free’. Software didn’t just pop up as an idea one day, as a Specifically, it can refer to something that “wouldn’t it be cool” notion from some hackers in a Tcosts no money, or something that isn’t held pub. The principles behind Free Software go back to down by restrictions – in other words, something the early days of computing, and many people have that has liberty. This difference is crucial when we fought long and hard to protect freedom in talk about software, because free (as in cost) computing, even when all hope looked lost. software doesn’t necessarily give you freedom.
