25 Years MS Windows
It’s now 25 years ago since the first version of that thing called MS Windows started to infest became available for the new IBM PCs.
When you think back - that long ago - we were sitting and trying out that new interface provided to us on a PC the price of a small car today.

Russia’s answer on the U.S. Elections: Obama Matryoshkas
In Moscow, matryoshka - little wooden dolls - of Barack Obama have become one of the best selling souvenirs among tourists and Russians.
While before the election both Obama and McCain dolls were offered by shopkeepers, the interest in McCain dolls that even before November 4th had sold in much smaller numbers, has now more or less completely diminished. Or as one of the sellers put it “my stock in McCain dolls is now worth about as much as shares in Lehman Brothers”
Obama dolls are a new addition to …
