Wolfgang Stief<p>Dear Computer History people: I'm searching for books covering the history of the MIT Media Lab.The only one I found so far is "The Media Lab" by Stewart Brand, released in 1988. So a bit dated. Are you aware of other titles, which also cover the time AFTER 1988? It might be titles on other subjects but with a significant amount on the MIT Media Lab.</p><p>Edit: There is some material on their website as well: <a href="https://www.media.mit.edu/about/history/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">media.mit.edu/about/history/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/medialab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>medialab</span></a></p>

Assn for Computing Machinery<p>On May 22, 1980, the original Pac-Man made its debut and quickly became more than just an arcade hit—it marked a milestone in computing. It demonstrated early AI with ghosts that followed distinct behavioral algorithms, pushed real-time processing on limited hardware, and showcased intuitive, user-friendly design. It also was an example of early cross-platform development. A lot of fun, and a leap forward in computing!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/ComputingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputingHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/PacMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacMan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/TechHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
Wolfgang Stief<p>Es gibt die Erzählung, dass Steve Jobs mal Seymour Cray erzählte, dass Apple eine Cray besäße und benutzen würde, um Apple-Computer zu entwickeln. Der für seinen trockenen Humor bekannte Cray soll darauf entgegnet haben, dass er seine Crays auf einem Apple entwickelt. Zumindest die erste Hälfte der Geschichte ist verbrieft. Apple hat 1986 eine Cray X-MP/48 gekauft und für das Engineering benutzt: <a href="https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_appleatgaqeepstheDoldrumsAwayCrayChannelsv09n11987_1290329/mode/2up" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/bitsavers_</span><span class="invisible">appleatgaqeepstheDoldrumsAwayCrayChannelsv09n11987_1290329/mode/2up</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cray</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technikgeschichte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technikgeschichte</span></a></p>
