James A.Gosling
James A. Gosling, O.C., Ph.D (born May 19, 1955 near Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a famous software developer, best known as the father of the Java programming language.In 1977, James Gosling received a B.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Calgary. In 1983, he earned a Ph.D in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and his doctoral thesis was titled "The Algebraic Manipulation of Constraints". While working towards his doctorate, he wrote a version of emacs (gosmacs), and before joining Sun Microsystems he built a multi-processor version of Unix[1] while at Carnegie Mellon University, as well as several compilers and mail systems.Since 1984, Gosling has been with Sun Microsystems, and is generally known best as the founder of the Java programming language.
He is generally credited as the inventor of the Java programming language in 1994. He did the original design of Java and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine. For this achievement he was elected to the United States National Academy of Engineering. He has also made major contributions to several other software systems, such as NeWS and Gosling Emacs. He also cowrote the "bundle" program, a utility thoroughly detailed in Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike's book The Unix Programming Environment.
Kenneth Thompson
Kenneth Lane Thompson (born February 4, 1943), commonly referred to as Ken Thompson (or simply Ken in hacker circles), is an American pioneer of computer science notable for his work with the B programming language and his shepherding the UNIX and Plan 9 from Bell Labs operating systems.Thompson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. He received a Bachelor of Science in 1965 and Master's degree in 1966, both in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, from the University of California, Berkeley, where his Master's thesis advisor was Elwyn Berlekamp.In the 1960s, Thompson and Dennis Ritchie worked on the Multics operating system. While writing Multics, Thompson created the Bon programming language. The two left the Multics project as it was becoming too complex, but they took the lessons they learned to Bell Labs, where, in 1969, Thompson and Ritchie were the principal creators of the UNIX operating system. There, Thompson also wrote the B programming language, a precursor to Ritchie's C.
Thompson had developed the CTSS version of the editor QED, which included regular expressions for searching text. QED and Thompson's later editor ed (the default editor on Unix) contributed greatly to the eventual popularity of regular expressions, previously regarded mostly as a tool (or toy) for logicians. Regular expressions became pervasive in Unix text processing programs (such as grep). Almost all programs that work with regular expressions today use some variant of Thompson's notation for them.Along with Joseph Condon, he created the hardware and software for Belle, a chess computer. He also wrote programs for generating the complete enumeration of chess endings, for all 4, 5, and 6-piece endings, allowing chess-playing computer programs to make "perfect" moves once a position stored in them is reached. Later, with the help of chess endgame expert John Roycroft, Thompson distributed his first results on CD-ROM.

Ray Tomlinson
Raymond Samuel Tomlinson (born 1941) is a programmer who implemented an email system in 1971. It was the first system able to send mail between users on different hosts connected to the ARPAnet (previously, mail could only be sent to others who used the same computer). To achieve this, he used the @ sign to separate the user from their machine, which has been used in email addresses ever since.
The first email sent by him is not preserved and had content he describes as insignificant, something like "QWERTYUIOP". This is commonly misquoted as "The first e-mail was QWERTYUIOP"
At first, his email messaging system wasn't thought to be a big deal. When Tomlinson showed it to a colleague he said "Don't tell anyone! This isn't what we're supposed to be working on." [3]
He is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a long-time employee of BBN.
Tomlinson was born in Amsterdam, New York, but his family soon moved to the small, unincorporated village of Vail Mills, New York. He attended the Broadalbin Central School in nearby Broadalbin, New York. He attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York where he participated in the co-op program with IBM. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer in 1963.
After graduating from RPI, he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to continue his electrical engineering education. At MIT, Tomlinson worked in the Speech Communication Group and developed an analog-digital hybrid speech synthesizer as the subject of his Master's thesis. He received a S.M. in Electrical Engineering degree in 1965.
In 1967 he joined the technology company of Bolt Beranek and Newman where he helped develop the TENEX operating system including ARPANET Network Control Protocol and TELNET implementations. He wrote a file-transfer program called CPYNET to transfer files through the ARPANET. Tomlinson was asked to change a program called SNDMSG, which sent messages to other users of a time-sharing computer, to run on TENEX. He added code he took from CPYNET to SNDMSG so messages could be sent to users on other computers — the first email.
Leonard Kleinrock:
Leonard Kleinrock, Ph.D. (born 1934) is a computer scientist, and a professor of computer science at UCLA, who made several important contributions to the field of computer networking, in particular to the theoretical side of computer networking. He also played an important role in the development of the ARPANET at UCLA.
His most well-known and significant work is his early work on queueing theory, which has applications in many fields, among them as a key mathematical background to packet switching, the basic technology behind the Internet. His initial contribution to this field was his doctoral thesis in 1962, published in book form in 1964; he later published several of the standard works on the subject.
He has described this work as:
"Basically, what I did for my PhD research in 1961–1962 was to establish a mathematical theory of packet networks ..."
His theoretical work on hierarchical routing, done in the late 1970s with his then-student Farouk Kamoun, is now critical to the operation of today's world-wide Internet.

Personalities-Part 2
Ted Nelson
Theodor Holm Nelson is an American sociologist, philosopher, and pioneer of information technology. He coined the term "hypertext" in 1963 and published it in 1965. He also is credited with first use of the words hypermedia, transclusion, virtuality, intertwingularity and teledildonics. The main thrust of his work has been to make computers easily accessible to ordinary people. His motto is:
A user interface should be so simple that a beginner in an emergency can understand it within ten seconds.
Nelson founded Project Xanadu in 1960 with the goal of creating a computer network with a simple user interface. The effort is documented in his 1974 book Computer Lib/Dream Machines and the 1981 Literary Machines. Much of his adult life has been devoted to working on Xanadu and advocating it.
The Xanadu project itself failed to flourish, for a variety of reasons which are disputed. Journalist Gary Wolf published an unflattering history, The Curse of Xanadu[1], on Nelson and his project in the June, 1995 issue of Wired magazine. Nelson expressed his disgust on his website[2], referring to Wolf as a "Gory Jackal", and threatened to sue him.
Nelson claims some aspects of his vision are in the process of being fulfilled by Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web. However, Nelson says he dislikes the World Wide Web, XML and all embedded markup, and regards Berners-Lee's work as a gross over-simplification of his own work:

Hacking in Mobiles
Mobile hacking has undergone many changes and one such hacking is known asBluesnarfing.Bluesnarfing is the unauthorised access of information from a wireless device through a bluetooth connection often between phones,desktops and laptops.It allows access to the calendar,contact list,emails and text messages,and on some phones users can steal pictures and private videos.It was first identified by Marcel Holtmann who is the maintainer and the core developer of the official Linux Bluetooth stack which is called BlueZ.So everyone using bluetooth mobiles be careful.Any device with the bluetooth connection can be attacked.By turning off this feature,the potential victim can be safer from the possibility of being bluesnarfed.

Virtualization slowly catching up
People are really confused about the concept of virtualization.It is nothing but a fundamental technological innovation that allows skilled IT managers to deploy creative solutions to such business challenges.The term virtualization broadly describes the separation of a resource or request for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service.Wit virtual memory,computer software gains access to more memory than is physically installed,the underground swapping of data to disk storage.Similarly,virtualization techniques can be applied to other IT infrastructure layers.

Substandard commentaries
Commentaries have been part of of cricket since the early days,here are some commentators who make a mess of it.Lets start with our Jimmy....
1) Mohinder Amarnath:
Starts singing whenever he gets an opportunity. And can never talk more than 2 minutes in the same language. “I think ke use wahan pe fieler place nahi… “ “what you say is right but mere khayal se… “. He is one of the stars of ‘fair and lovely’ fourth umpire. And always gives his views in the end. Hears what Srikkanth says and says something which is exactly the opposite.
2) Charu Sharma:
Poor man’s Harsha Bhogle but gets all the big tournaments – World Cup, ICC Knockout and most of the Home series shown in DD. He is also the host of a crap DD show ‘Fair and Lovely Fourth Umpire’ where he calls himself the fourth umpire. And also gets lovely lady ‘commentators’ like Mandira Bedi and Roshni Chopra to sit next to him. He, like Sanjay Manjrekar very much.He tries to be too ‘neutral’ but unlike Sanjay, ends up being more irritating than boring. And listening to him, you always feel your team will lose no matter what the position is. His favourite lines are “Lets not underestimate the opposition. What if we lose 3-4 early wickets?” “what if India won the toss, bowl first and there is no dew later?”
3) Arun Lal:
A long time partner of Maninder Singh. The pair of Maninder and Arun Lal is responsible for lots of damaged mute buttons on remote controls. Maninder Singh has only one fan in the world and it is Arun Lal. Whatever Maninder has to say will be followed by “Ji Maninder ekdum sahi kaha aapne”. Recently he got an idea that he should do commentary in english too and the DD guys were just too willing to let him do that. His first experience : India were playing West Indies and Ganguly hit a hook shot for a four. Arun Lal “Bahut ach… Very good shot!! Ganguly is a great hooker”. His co-commentator Michael Holding was shocked and after few seconds repeated “hooker?”
One of his most famous lines “Great shot between point and square leg”!!! and what that??? A shot over the keeper?? And “His balls have been hit badly”
One of his most famous lines “Great shot between point and square leg”!!! and what that??? A shot over the keeper?? And “His balls have been hit badly”
4) Kris Srikkanth:
A very heavy south Indian accent and highly biased towards India. Debuted along with Venkatesh Prasad during the 2003 World Cup but unlike him, hasn’t quit commentary and is now an ‘expert’ in ‘fair and lovely fourth umpire’ – A crap show hosted by Charu Sharma during match breaks.
Some Srikkanth Classics :
* If Zaheer can bowl a little extra pace, it will make the ball come to the bat more faster
* Rameez, if Zimbabwe shock Australia by scoring 275 runs, Australia will shock Zimbabwe by scoring 276 runs
* One needs to understand that Test cricket is Test cricket and One-day cricket is One-day cricket
* England players have a typical English like attitude, which is different than Pakistani attitude
* England players traditionally have been playing very traditional cricket
* Venkatesh Prasad, don't get upset because I upset you, take it cool
* The Zimbabwe-England tie is very important from India's point of view because irrespective of the outcome there, India have to beat England.
During WC 2003, Srikkanth was out there to give pitch report :Kapil Dev - from the studio: "Sri, how the wicket looks like? Is there any moisture?"Kris Srikkanth - from the stadium: "Kapil Paaji! Kaise hai tu?".

5) Ranjit Fernando:
India have Sanjay Manjrekar. Pakistan have Rameez Raza and Srilanka have Ranjit Fernando. Probably Sri Lanka’s greatest commentator ever. He believes in few things and never changes his view on them. They are :
* Sri Lanka is the greatest team ever. If they lose, its because they played badly that day.
* Muttiah Murlitharan is the greatest bowler ever. If he bowls a wide, its because he has some plans.. and If a batsman hits him for four, its often a ‘mishit’ and was aimed somewhere else.
* And he believes in reciting the full names of Sri Lankan players no matter how loooooooooong they are.
And his accent!!! “Eye’ve cott et too”

And his accent!!! “Eye’ve cott et too”
*Another famous line of him is "the crowd is chanting his name dhoni!dhoni!dhoni!
6) Maninder Singh:
A hindi commentator who thinks a line isn’t complete unless he uses 3-4 english words in it.
“khoobsoorat ball aur batsman ne loft kar diya over mid off. Isse mein good shot kahoonga”
Once Ganguly was bowled and Maninder was jumping in the commentary box shouting how good a ball it was. Some time later, he screamed “aur doosra wicket!! Zabardast slower ball” (when they were showing slow action replay)
His problem is he gets excited even on singles. “Aur ye zabardast shot. Superb timing ke saath khela hua khoobsoorat shot… par seedha fielder ke paas. Sirf ek run milega”
When a batsman scores a fifty, “achi innings thi. Abhi inko century banana chahiye” and when a batsman scores a century “bahut achi innings abhi inko carry on karma chahiye”
And Maninder Singh has this habit of reading out loud anything written on the screen like required run rate, wickets in hand, etc.. and once he even read out an advertisement.11) Sanjay ManjrekarJust recently (couple of years ago) Sanjay started commentary. His English is quite good but its because of what he says, he comes at #11 in this list. His main problem is that he tries too hard to be unbiased and that usually makes him give negative comments about India. His commentary is mostly lifeless without enthusiasm (except when India lose wickets. The only time he seemed happy behind the mike was when Rahul Dravid declared when Sachin Tendulkar [he pronounces him as Ten-dool-kur was on 194) and has this very bad habit of talking and talking and talking during presentation ceremonies.
This happened once :Manjrekar to a captain : That was a great victory. What did you think of the wicket this morning? we could see some moisture and felt it could give some help to the bowlers and your bowlers bowled an excellent opening spell which really took away the game from the opposition. And your opening batsmen gave the team just the start you wanted, but I think that opening spell is what took away the game?Captain : “yea”

7) Rameez Raza:
Pakistani version of Sanjay Manjrekar. Extremely boring like #11 but has an ability to be biased and can be unbelievably optimistic. During the Ind-Pak match in WC2003, even when Sachin and Kaif were batting well after laying a solid foundation for a win, Rameez believed Shoaib can take all the remaining wickets.
During WC2003,Ravi Shastri: Now, Sachin is struggling with cramps out there, he might do well to ask for a runner.Rameez Raza: The way Sachin is batting, Waqar might not think of allowing a runner so that Sachin will struggle and can be dismissed.Ravi Shastri: Rameez, Spoken like a true Pakistani!!Rameez Raza: Thank you Ravi.

8) Venkatesh Prasad:
Maybe its unfair to put his name in the list as he has done commentary in only one series. But it was the world cup and I will remember his ‘performance’ for a long time.
He tried to talk sense, he tried to talk properly, he tried not to be over awed by the people around, tried not to be spotted by the camera when he was looking at mandira bedi but failed in everything.
He couldn’t speak a line properly “I t-t-t-t-t-think it was a good p-p-p-p-itch to b-bat”. Reminded me of that joke where a kid comes home disappointed at not being selected at the speech team. Father : “Son, why you didn’t get selected?” Son : “T-t-t-t-they t-t-t-t-told me I was t-t-t-t-t-t-too t-t-t-t-tall”
Try to make sense out of this (It was when Brett Lee hit Tikolo on the head)"Definitely, Tikolo is coming in line. Of course, you need to come in line! But definitely Brett Lee is also very much bowling in line and hit Tikolo on the head."
Also got very excited when one thing he said out of thousand happened.He wanted Sachin to open and Tony Greig thought Sachin was better at #4. When Sachin became a super success in world cup as an opener,..Venkatesh Prasad: "You wanted Sachin to bat at #4 and I said that was a bad idea. I was right. What do you have to say?"Tony Greig: "I'm allowed to be wrong once in a year and you're allowed to be right once in a year."

Some famous Sidduisms
Famous Siddhuisms.......Enjoy reading it
In the midst of a verbal duel with Martin Crowe: "Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn! "
Commenting on Ganguly after he was out for a low score in the 2nd Test against Zimbabwe: "..Looks like a brooding hen over a china egg"
In the midst of a verbal duel with Tony Greig: "If ifs and buts were pots and pans, there would be no tinkers!"
When Ganguly took a catch that had gone very high in the air: "That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it !!"
"Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide."
In India's last match against New Zealand: "New Zealanders are like bicycles in a cycle stand - one falls down and the complete row will be down!
"Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter."
"Taking the cake with a red cherry on top. "
For Sri Lankan batsman Kaluwitharna, when he was wasting many balls: "He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30! "
To Martin Crowe: "The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings!"
Muralitharan bowling to the last Indian pair: "The wily fox is back. Its an ill omen when a fox licks its lambs."
Applauding Reetinder Singh Sodhi's fighting spirit: "Young Ricky will fight a rattlesnake and give him the first two bites! "
"The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car through it... !! "
A girl born beautiful is half married (also A good lather is half
the shave)
.. The Indians need to behave as if they are in a boat with a hole.
There is no team co-operation
.. His slower ball was so slow that my mama can run faster than that
.. The world is all about mind and matter, i don't mind and u don't
matter...
e.. In London they drive on the left, in India we drive on what is
left!
.. Still waters run deep. The Indians were so still in the 3rd test
that they ran into deep oceans
.. Ganguly moves so slowly on the field like jack of jack n jill who
goes to fetch pail of runs for the opposition..
.
.. Umpires are like traffic police -the techniques they use to give a
decision are outdated
.. Flip the coin and there is no head or tail. (India plays the
cricket without any aim)
.. Harbhajan could be a windmill with a single blade during a
hurricane, when batting
.. Strutting around wicket as proud as peacock
.. A barking dog better than a sleeping Lion So go on Indians Bark
aloud and let everyone hear you louder!!!
.. The dog that barks last, barks best
.. S.Ramesh's running between the wickets is like a snail going slow!
.. He is like an Indian transistor, which does not work until you give
It two slaps.
.. If u r trying to beat india in their home you are you trying to
get milk out of an ox.
.. Indian team is just like indian monsoon.you just cant predict when
there will be flood & when drought.
.. The ball went soo high up in the air that it kissed an air-hostess
on its way back.
.. Rahul is like the hall of fire !!!!
.. Ganguly has taken the cake with plum on top (ha ha ha)
.. The ball slipped from his hands like butter from hot paratha
.. Women are worse than wine - They intoxicate both the holder and the
beholder (when a female was shown on TV screen)
. For Geoffrey Boycott - a hair on head is worth two in the brush (In
response to Shastri's comment "a bird in hand is worth 2 in bush" When
Yohannan was carrying the bird hit by Tendulkar)
