My choice of the Best Underwater Photo of the Year

Diver on the seabed in Cabo, New Mexico, 

works next to a huge shoal of fish 

who swirl around each other

Republic of Turkey's Reluctant Heroine

Istanbul's University of Urban Planning 

research assistant Ceyda Sungor 

has become a reluctant heroine 

and Turkey's newest freedom icon

And the Reuters photographer 

who shot the now iconic image 

appears to have suffered 

self inflicted head injuries...

The Original Computer

The Original Computer!!!! 

Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show

A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account

A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

 

Hard to guess ?

An old photo

What is it ?

 CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THIS IS?   

        
Hint: picture was taken in 1956...

It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... 

With 5 MB of storage. 

In September 1956,

IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, 

the first 'SUPER' computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). 

The HDD weighed over a ton 

and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data. 

And this was the 'portable' unit!
