One Div Zero: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello, world" into a tapestry. Redditers of the time are not impressed due to the lack of tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper capitalization.
E-Book Gesture Interface

It's a prototype demo, but some gestures are really nice. I'm not really sure what will be the right gesture to turn multiple pages, but I kindof like the very simple one where you slide with 2, 3 or four fingers to turn 2,3 or 4 pages respectively.
Google's basic meeting rules
- Every meeting must have one clear decision maker. If there's no decision maker -- or no decision to be made -- the meeting shouldn't happen.
- No more than 10 people should attend.
- Every person should give input, otherwise they shouldn't be there.
- No decision should ever wait for a meeting. If a meeting absolutely has to happen before a decision should be made, then the meeting should be scheduled immediately.
My former flatmate, fellow student at HPI and now Googler Martin Probst clarified:
@rmetzler +no devices (laptops, mobiles), but there are presentations in front of more than 10 (but it's a presentation then!).

My testing framework is written in CoffeeScript and fits in a Tweet.
And this is meant including examples and documentation. ;-)
This is my little framework:
Just create an object where all keys are descriptions of the functions and functions have to return true or false.
The examples could be a little bit more specific though.
