Douglas Adams died 25 years ago
A sad day today, but not as sad as 25 years ago, when Douglas Adams died. Douglas Adams, the utterly funny author of the classic "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the possibly even greater "Dirk Gently" books. I cannot emphasize how much I think every single person should read these books, preferably yesterday. When I read these, back in 1988, it changed my writ

The Rise of the Atari ST Demo Scene
In March 1986 I heard about this really cool, powerful and affordable new computer, the Atari ST. At the time I was an enthusiastic Commodore 64 owner, and around me many people intended to make the switch to the Amiga. This machine was still in the (albeit relatively near) future, and its price tag was predicted to be substantial.

Media społecznościowe są tworzone w ten sposób, aby były UZALEŻNIAJĄCE. Uzależnienie to nie jest efekt uboczny tych aplikacji - to jest ich główna cecha.
