Ethernet history

In 1973, Bob Metcalfe sent an internal memo to his colleagues at Xerox proposing a local system of interacting workstations, files, and printers. The devices would all be linked by one coaxial cable, he said, and would run within a local area network. He called the system an Ether Network, or Ethernet. And 36 years later Ethernet is going on strong, although the technology has changed more than a bit on the way. In this original vision, there was no need for hubs. Somehow once everything became balanced twisted pairs the “ether” became segmented into little mini-ethers held back from each other by digital logic.

Photo and original diagram of the world’s first ethernet cable web page has a nice picure of the first Ethernet cable installation and first drawings of Ethernet vision.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    Just thought i would comment and say great design, did you code it yourself? Looks great. If you liketo swap the links with us please let me know.

  23. tomi says:

    There have been several people including me involved on the design and coding of the site.
    I have done and do some coding for this site, mostly the back-end technology running the site.. like search engines etc..

  24. Hipolito M. Wiseman says:

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  25. I am unable to hold back until the actual apple company ipad is out in the uk, i’ve come across a few online reviews coming from All of us clients also it appears brilliant. I’ve seen some awesome add-ons ^ nearby also! ipad PWNS!

  33. Hi,
    I’ve been doing a lot of research online lately regarding traffic and Search Engine Optimization since I just opened up an Thai online shop with a couple of buddies.
    The design of your WordPress blog is sweet and I’d really love to exchange links with your website. Have a look at our site if you want, we put a lot of work and effort into it and are dedicated to improve it constantly.
    We receive a lot of hits already (contact me for visitor stats) and I think both our sites can benefit from one another. Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts with you – keep up the good work buddy and contact me if interested!
