100 things you never knew last year (from the BBC)

An awesome list of 100 of the strange things that you never heard before, but heard about and could read about in the various rags and mags last year. Items including:

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak belonged to a group of hackers and hobbyists called the Homebrew Computer Club.

The House of Lords has a rifle range

Monkeys avoid selfish people.

The whole 100 items listed HERE

Absolutely fascinating!! :smiley:

Good find! Taking a while to go through that list. I keep stopping to read the articles on how the information was discovered.

That’s actually not strange. Back then “hacker” and “hobbyist” meant the same thing. Computers were home built and hand-wired. Apple was actually started in their garage. It wasn’t until much later that “hacker” started meaning someone doing illegal things.
