Meaning of Malamanteau
If enough people use a fake word does that make it real? Today, this xkcd.com comic created an explosion of traffic (and controversy) on search engines and Wikipedia.

AT&T Versus 15,000 Data-Crazed Velociraptors
Source: The Real War At SXSW: AT&T Versus 15,000 Data-Crazed Velociraptors | TechCrunch AT&T’s struggles to stay up last year are well-documented.

From military project to the masses how the Internet was born
“This year marks the 40th anniversary of the technologies that led to the creation of the Internet and revolutionized the way we work, talk and play.” This is certainly true, and for once my timing was spot on. I wasn’t born when the Internet (capital “I”) was created. Now, I work in an industry that [...]

From LAMP (software bundle) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linux, referring to the operating system; Apache, the Web server; MySQL or mSQL, the database management system (or database server); PHP or others, i.e., Perl, Python, the programming languages.[1] This research was inspired by an ad for Facebook Application Developer with Egg Haus.
