THE SECRET ORIGIN OF WINDOWS Few people understand Microsoft better than Tandy Trower, who worked at the company from 1981-2009. Trower was the product manager who ultimately shipped Windows 1.0, an endeavor that some advised him was a path toward a ruined career.

3. Kerbango Internet Radio (2000-2001) What it was: A $300 radio that pulled in stations from the Net using RealNetworks technology. It could work on either dial-up or broadband. Announced: February 7th, 2000 at the DEMO conference. A BRIEF HISTORY OF DEFUNCT ELECTRONICS CHAINS IN THE FORM But I’m including it here anyhow, because it’s gotta be one of the most memorable defunct electronics retailers. Founded by RadioShack owner Tandy Corporation, its stores were sort of anti-RadioShacks: astoundingly large. In fact, at 185,000 square feet, they were more than seventy-five times as a large as a Shack.

The White MacBook, 2006-2011: An Elegy. Among the umpteen things that makes Apple different from other technology companies is this: it makes news by discontinuing products as well as introducing them. Today’s big announcements involve the arrival of OS X 10.7 Lion and u pdated MacBook Airs. But it’s also decided to stop producing the$999
THE UNWELCOME RETURN OF "BEST VIEWED WITH INTERNET EXPLORER" Some sites slapped “Best Viewed With Internet Explorer” or “Best Viewed With Netscape Navigator” logos (or both of them) onto their home pages, like perverse badges of honor. It was like turning onto a highway and discovering signs saying it was best driven in a Buick or a Kia. Eventually there were sites that would only operate A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE RISE AND FALL OF TELEPHONE A Brief History of the Rise and Fall of Telephone Competition in the US, 1982-2011. So much for quiet Sundays. AT&T announced today that it’s agreed to acquire T-Mobile US from Deutsche Telekom, a merger which, if completed, will make it by far the country’s biggest wireless phone company. It’ll also leave us with three nationalcarriers
SATYA NADELLA’S MICROSOFT VISION IS STRIKINGLY DIFFERENTSATYA NADELLA MICROSOFTSATYA NADELLA MICROSOFT EMAIL ADDRESSSATYA NADELLA MICROSOFT NET WORTHMICROSOFT CEO SATYASATYA NADELLA At 6am this morning, Microsoft's new CEO, Satya Nadella, sent his colleagues a long memo spelling out his vision for the company. He was thoughtful enough to post it on Microsoft.com for the rest of us to read, too. The memo contains no shockers: Instead, it spells out WINDOWS XP: A FREE COPY OF BOB IN EVERY BOX? Windows XP: A Free Copy of Bob in Every Box? I didn’t include this in my history of Microsoft Bob, but maybe I should have–and it’s too fascinating not to share.

Nass and Reeves eventually joined Microsoft staffers on a press tour to promote Bob and the concept of “social interfaces” in general. “With a beta onscreen, these two academics summarized their research, which suggested that people found social interfaces helpful, friendly, and effective,” remembers PCWorld Editorial Director Steve Fox, who was briefed during a previous PCW tour of duty. THE ONES THAT DIDN’T MAKE IT: WINDOWS’ FAILED RIVALS The Ones That Didn’t Make It: Windows’ Failed Rivals. A quarter century ago, a new package called Windows faced some pretty daunting competition. Microsoft shipped Windows 1.0 on November 20th, 1985. Twenty-five years and two days later, it’s not just hard to remember an era in which Windows wasn’t everywhere–it’s also easy to FIFTEEN CLASSIC PC DESIGN MISTAKES There's no such thing as the perfect computer, and never has been. But in the personal computer's long and varied history, some computers have been decidedly less perfect than others. Many early PCs shipped with major design flaws that either sunk platforms outright or considerably slowed down their adoption by the public. Decades later,we

By Harry McCracken | Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 3:25 pm. My TIME.com Technologizer column this week is a hands-on look at RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Like other reviewers, I was startled by the lack of full-blown e-mail, disappointed by Flash Player’s quirkiness, and bedeviled by bugs. THE COST OF CHROME OS: HOW ABOUT $250 OR LESS? The Cost of Chrome OS: How About $250 or Less? When I wrote about Google’s experimental CR-48 Chrome OS notebook last December, I guessed that it might cost about $449 if it were a commercial product. That seemed high for a device that was entirely dedicated to accessing the Web (and nearly useless when you couldn’t get online). SEPTEMBER 2001 WAS A LONG TIME AGO IN THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY September 2001 Was a Long Time Ago in the World of Technology. I wrote about my memories of 9/11/01 a couple of years ago, on the eighth anniversary of the attacks.
