One long page, more impressive
Just thought seeing one long page was a lot more impressive than breaking it up into 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.31.149 (talk) 23:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Operating system
1974 Operating system
An operating system is the infrastructure software component of a computer system which is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer. The operating system acts as a host for applications that are run on the machine. The first operating system for personal computing, CP/M, was written in 1974 by an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur named Gary Kildall at Digital Research Inc.[1][2] At the suggestion of Bill Gates, CP/M in later years was licensed for use by IBM.[3]
Operating systems existed long before the "first operating system for personal computing" This entry does not make that clear. Secondly reading Operating system#Microcomputers makes it clear that as with so many concepts around the evolution of computers defining exactly which was the first microcomputer OS is not that simple. -- PBS (talk) 11:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
A teddy bear is a stuffed toy bear. They are usually stuffed with soft cotton and have smooth and soft fur. It is an enduring form of a stuffed animal that has become a collector's item. The first teddy bear was invented in 1902 by Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, who was inspired by Clifford Berryman's political cartoon Drawing the Line in Mississippi that depicted President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt on a hunting trip in Mississippi who spared the life of a Louisiana black bear cub. Michtom asked for and received President Roosevelt’s permission to use his name for the hand-sewn bears called "Teddy bears" that he invented and his wife helped construct.[67 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.5.151 (talk) 20:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Tesla didn't invent radio
Marconi was the first one to transmit long distance radio transmision. Tesla didn't do anything news. Only Marconi should be credited with the radio invention.
- And neither did Marconi invent radio. He merely copied the work of others such as Hertz, Lodge, Fessenden, Bose, Popov, and Tesla and took credit for it. Long distance radio transmissions Marconi made, but certainly not the first. 65.35.146.193 (talk) 21:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Who made long distance radio transmission before Marconi, please? Marconi radio system was original and different from any other existing before. Unfortunately the description I put in the "Radio" article of Marconi's apparatus has been censored by the "Tesla club" authors infesting wikipedia. The supposed "copied" one were not able to repeat the results obtained by Marconi for several years. Magnagr (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- The supreme court was not called upon to give a decision regarding the paternity of the radio invention and the judges never put in doubt the primacy and the originality of the first complete radio system built by Marconi, and they never stated that Tesla or others invented the radio and not Marconi. This what the judges said: “[…]Marconi's reputation as the man who first achieved successful radio transmission rests on his original patent” and “[..] To find in 1943 that what Marconi did really did not promote the progress of science because it had been anticipated is more than a mirage of hindsightMagnagr (talk) 09:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Carbide lamp
The article on carbide lamp implies bicycle carbide lamps predate 1900 and the 1900 patent is for a mining lamp. GraemeLeggett (talk) 20:10, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
