 | | Thomas Alva Edison: A Self-Taught Man | | by Swapna P, Aug 28, 2008 | | Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) was not a scientist. In fact he was a self-taught man. He had no theoretical or mathematical background. Today his name is among the greatest inventors of all time. During his lifetime he invented about 1000 new things. Most of this success came from perfecting the ideas of other people or improvising on the inventions of others. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

The sun, stars and the moon have held his gaze for ages. Unfortunately they were all so distant that he could not really make out what they were or what they were made of. He died not even know where the earth was located in the solar system. In fact he thought that it was the central body round which the sun and the planets revolved. | | Comments(2) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Jamie Z | | by ciocan, Aug 25, 2008 | | Jamie Zawinski had a reputation as a wunderkind computer coder in the free software community, but when I met him he didn't look the part - he looked more like a pretty Goth boy, and he had an attitude to match, with an arrogant contempt for your standard nerdy computer hacker. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
