From Between The Lines, ZDNet blog, Larry Dignan brings this top 10 list which I found interesting (regardless you agree on all or not): The 10 biggest moments in IT history.

1. The development of COBOL (1959)
2. The development of the ARPANET (1969)
3. The creation of UNIX (1970)
4. The first “clamshell” laptop (1979)
5. The beginning of Linus Torvalds’ work on Linux (1991)

34 funny things to discuss over some drinks. I received this in an email. Don’t know if the author (Steven Wright) is accurate but here it is:

1. I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2. Borrow money from pessimists — they don’t expect it back.
3. Half the people you know are below average.
4. 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
