    I didn't realize Linux came out 1 year after windows 3.0. Wow, talk about what a difference marketing can make. Comparing the marketing efforts of those two should be taught in every basic marketing class in the world.

    Not sure what your getting at. It started out as a non-commercial effort, a hobby. There are several such projects even now: http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/hobbyos.html . No one within the linux kernel project itself really went out of their way to "market" linux. In fact, you could say it was created as a refuge to get away from marketing/MBA-tards.

    Why not mention the person who started the ipod: Tony Fadell. It's only fair.

    Here's the only link that I know of that talks about the true founder of the ipod:

    Apple for some reason only provides this type of info:

    This is quite possible the best post I've seen on any blog for some time. Great work there. We laugh now about some of the 'new things' back then. But it's really remarkable I think to see how fast we're not developing. It's certainly a peoples planet now. And communication has been a key to that I feel.

    Linux and Java is something that is big to me professionally , when I mean big i mean really big.

    Personally I would say that IPod and Wiki was the best.

    Great list. Good for some nostalgia! :)

    Stem cells in an organism of the adult person are developed by a bone brain. It is their basic source, but it is far not the unique. Also stem cells are found out and in a fatty fabric, a skin, muscles, a liver, lungs, an eye retina, practically in all bodies and organism fabrics. They provide restoration of the damaged sites of bodies and fabrics.
