The Evolution of Programming (Infographic) Ever since 1950′s, the world of programming has evolved till now. I myself remember when I was 8 years old, we were taught BASIC in our schools. It was all about writing simple understandable lines of codes and getting the output. But when we wanted to display a GUI interface, it involved many more lines of coding. After 10 years we all were taught Visual Basic which makes use of better GUI.
It involves more lines of coding and has better controls to make our work easier. This is how the programming world has evolved and still continuing… The Programming Evolution started with FORTRAN in the year 1954, after which it has evolved to many other programming languages based on the requirements of the interface. Here is an Infographic by Services Angle which visualizes the evolution of programming, right way from 1954 to till now.

Coolest inventions coming in 2012 - "White Spaces" Wi-Fi (1) Hidden between individual television channels is a small but valuable collection of airwaves that will allow for a kind of "super Wi-Fi" network. The Federal Communications Commission recently opened up the spectrum that sits between television channels numbered 1 through 51.
Wireless communications in those "white spaces" have been permitted since Jan. 26 in Wilmington, N.C., the FCC's designated testbed location. After the bugs are worked out, the spaces will be opened up nationally in the coming months. The FCC designated the white spaces as "unlicensed" band, meaning anyone can broadcast in it for free. It's a primo band that sits lower than today's Wi-Fi, allowing signals to travel over significantly longer distances and through buildings and walls. NEXT: Microsoft Windows 8. Superhydrophobic Technology repels liquid off your shoes | NSB. The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth. It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night.
These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted. " Places like... Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan that makes The Blair Witch Project forest look like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. It probably has something to do with all the dead bodies scattered around.
What Niagara Falls is to weddings, Aokigahara is to suicide. How many suicides does it takes for a place to get that reputation? A dozen? More than 500 fucking people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. Also skulls. "If you commit suicide here, bears will poop on your corpse.
" Winchester Mystery House. Ice: The new super-cool phone. Breakthrough technologies from Nokia Research bring a frozen dream to life If you love Nokia phones – then you’ll love this. Today, Nokia announces plans to use a new material that could transform smartphone design. And not only does it look great, it reduces material costs and the environmental impact, too. The Nokia Ice is made from ice. Yup, that’s frozen H2O. A little over a year ago we bought you news of a touchscreen built entirely out of ice, created by the team at the NRC labs. We asked how something like this is even possible? Nokia has its roots in Finland, a land full of ice and snow. Creating a phone like this means that everything that’s gone into building it has to be made from scratch: there’s no off-the-shelf parts here. Nokia dedicated much of the Tampere R&D unit to work on a solution for how to keep a phone made out of ice charged up. Clever, eh? At the moment, the phone is an oval shape, but we can’t see any reason why it shouldn’t be sculpted in the future.
Why Startups Fail. Starting a company consists of many different levels which you, as the owner, must cross in order to make it a profitable enough business to stay afloat. It’s not always easy to always find solutions for your ideas to keep the revenue coming in. Diana always tells me that keeping your mind set on success will make the success come to you. That’s what we have both been doing since we started working together, and if we didn’t do that, I don’t think that we would have been able to stay dedicated as long as we have. It’s always fun when you find new ways to do things that will not only optimize your time, but also allow for another revenue stream to enter your company. If there are no ideas, there is no progression. As a business owner, you really have to stay focused during the whole process.
I was surprised to see that most companies out-scale themselves before they have even seen sufficient progress to use up their acquired capacity. How bots are taking over the world | Dan O'Hara and Luke Robert Mason. 'We’ve started to see numbers of humans pretending to be bots, a strange development that signals a shift in the power and identity politics of the internet.' Photograph: Blutgruppe/zefa/Corbis As part of the Esc and Ctrl series, Jon Ronson recently published two videos on Comment is free in which he confronts a spambot version of himself and accuses it of stealing his identity. We're two of the people in the second episode. Although we didn't create Ronson's bot, we provide research and consultancy for the company that did. Like Ronson, we're interested in bots, algorithms and issues of identity on the net. The bigger story that Ronson misses, but that we have been researching and to which we tried to alert him, is that it's not just Ronson who has bots manipulating his life.
It's all of us. 'Although we didn't create Ronson's bot, we provide research and consultancy for the company that did' Link to video: Jon Ronson v 'Jon Ronson' spambot ... part two Bots create 24% of tweets.
