Here's an article on the history of the mouse. It tells the story of how they made a mouse that
was not only more accurate than the models at the time (1970's) but 90% less
expensive. And they did it, helping make the Macintosh a success. The very first
mouse was created in 1964 however, so we're coming up on the 40th
anniversary of our very useful pointing device.
A company is offering a free ferrari to
anyone who can break their encryption scheme. They say it's uncrackable, even to
brute force methods, so maybe they'll get to keep their car. Of course, once
quantum computers become reality, all our encryption may become crackable. But
that's still a fair ways off, and who knows, I may get to help define teh future
someday.
For everyone who caught the end of the Indiana-Duke game tonight: Wow!. I love
March Madness!
