Our grandsons computing after school. Both of them know how to use the computer very well. They just need to learn to type! We got tired of the constant bickering about sharing one computer so turned another older laptop into a kid's computer.

Director, Exascale Technology and Computing Institute
Co-Director, Northwestern-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering
Pete Beckman is the founder and director of the Exascale Technology and Computing Institute at Argonne National Laboratory and the co-director of the Northwestern-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering. From 2008-2010 he was the director of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, where he led the Argonne team working with IBM on the design of Mira, a 10 petaflop Blue Gene/Q, and helped found the International Exascale Software Project.
Pete joined Argonne in 2002, serving first as director of engineering and later as chief architect for the TeraGrid, where he led the design and deployment team that created the world's most powerful Grid computing system for linking production HPC computing centers for the National Science Foundation. After the TeraGrid became fully operational, Pete started a research team focusing on petascale high-performance system software.
As an industry leader, he founded a Turbolinux-sponsored research laboratory in 2000 that developed the world's first dynamic provisioning system for cloud computing and HPC clusters. The following year, Pete became vice president of Turbolinux's worldwide engineering efforts, managing development offices in the U.S., Japan, China, Korea, and Slovenia.
Dr. Beckman has a Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University (1993) and a B.A. in Computer Science, Physics, and Math from Anderson University (1985).

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home. You are already in cloud when you watch movies online, TV online, send emails, create documents online, store your pc and mobile data online and many more things being as an individual or working in organizations handling company’s datacenter as a couple of examples. Mobile companies also provide a partial cloud computing feature to store your contact details and other data on their datacenter so their subscribers can retrieve their data from anywhere on their mobile phones.
Another boat book....Google has taken direct aim at Microsoft's core business, offering free email and software from word processing to spreadsheets and calendars, pushing a transformative - and highly disruptive - concept known as "cloud computing".
According to this plan, users will increasingly store and organize all of their data on Google's massive servers - a network of a million computers which amount to the world's largest supercomputer, with unlimited capacity to house all the information Google seeks.
The more offerings Google adds, and the more ubiquitous a presence it becomes, the more dependent its users become on its services, and the more information they contribute to its uniquely comprehensive collection of data.
This trend can be observed with other internet sites as well, such as photo-sharing and social networking sites like Flickr, Shutterfly, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and many others. Such sites rely uopn massive data and images uploaded and shared by the users themselves for their success. Fascinating and thought-provoking reading.

It's dying. A soda spill took out the number pad a couple years ago. And now the left-side command key is all but dead—and some home-row keys are going.
It served me well, and I'd buy another, but they're out of stock while Matias brings out the Tactile Pro 3.0.
I've got a Das Keyboard tactile/mechanical keyboard coming tomorrow.
Instituting a new personal rule: No eating/drinking near the keyboard.
I'm also glad the Das Keyboard is black. ;/
Will probably try to replace the Windows-configured function keys with my Matias—if they fit—just so some part of this workhorse lives on. It served me well.

Before the Internet, there was.. computer magazines. Perhaps it's difficult to understand the importance of computer magazines, but when home computing started in the UK, the only way to keep in touch with what was happening was through the many different titles that were on newsagent's shelves. What better way to spend a weekend was there than browsing through the various titles in the local newsies. Well, talking to girls might have been better, but that seemed even harder than writing a working version of PacMan using only the O and inverted " symbols in less than 8Kb.
Reading about the new systems, and typing in "listings" as software was known in those days, consumed most of my waking hours back in the early 1980s. This is an early "Popular Computing Weekly", which in those days focused on the ZX81 (known in the US as the Timex 1000 I believe) and Vic20 computers. The ZX Spectrum was just launched (colour! sound! rubbery keyboard!) but I couldn't afford one.
Of course, many of today's highly employable nerds got their careers started by writing for these magazine. It was around this time my own first article was published (a game for the ZX81), and the rest is history.
In later years, I happened to write one of the first articles in a major-selling UK magazine about the coming wonder that was the Internet, but I am happy to admit that I didn't really get it - Mosaic seemed cool, but Gopher was more useful. That said, it didn't take long to realize that computer magazines would never have the importance they once had.
