The Commodore 64 is 30

Still have mine

I originally got the later case white/thinner C64 ... 1541 drive .. 256kb memory expansion cart .. OkiData 20 dot matrix printer ...

Anyone remember GEOS OS that had "windows" ?

about 1987 I got an original brown case at a yard sale for $10 .. it works fine last time I checked it about 6 years ago with carts like Centipede

Lords of Conquest was a great game .. Arctic Fox by Dynamix was good too .. I must have over 200 floppies for C64 .. would be a miracle if anyone of them is still good, even though I think my 1541 drive is probably still working ... guess I'll dig the C64 stuff out of storage and see if it still lights up some day soon ...

for fun factor .. C64 was SO ahead of Apple IIc ...

Microsoft celebrates the death of IE6

IE 5.5 still around

because there are still diehards that use Win9.x I suppose ..

MS obviously doesn't care about internet security or standards, as evidenced by not updating IE8 nor making WinXP able to use IE9, despite many that will use WinXP until the updates stop in April 2014

IBM: 'Your PC will read your mind by 2016'

>I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

Establishment:

Of course you are my bright little star,

I've miles and miles of files

Pretty files of your forefather's fruit

And now to suit our great computer,

You're magnetic ink.

>I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

Inner Man:

There you go man, keep as cool as you can.

Face piles and piles of trials with smiles.

It riles them to believe

That you perceive the web they weave

And keep on thinking free.

Farmville maker Zynga raises $1bn for IPO

mindless games for the mindless masses™

ummm ... Facebook takes a 30% cut of Zynga revenue and Zynga spends back another $80 million in 2010 for advertising to Facebook .. easy money for Facebook ..

"Facebook made $176.7 million from virtual goods sold by Zynga in 2010 and $83.7 million in the first quarter of this year"

http://allthingsd.com/20110701/the-zynga-facebook-relationship-becomes-more-clear/

conceivably .. Facebook will make $300 million on Zynga's $1 billion revenue there this year, and get another $100 million in ad revenue from them .. nice little cash flow ..

Code likes those numbers
