Io, la mia testa, le mie parole

Buona causa (almeno secondo me)

Chi mi conosce un po', mi ha letto qualche volta e mi scrive puntualmente sa che sono molto sensibile all'argomento ed alle problematiche legate all'infanzia.

Per questo motivo, non ho esitato a buttarmi in questa campagna a sostegno del Pesciolino Rosso, il tempo per le famiglie di Pavia, cui sia Alice che Irene sono state iscritte.

E' uno spazio importante, per i bambini e per gli accompagnatori che è a rischio chiusura per motivi economici.

Lo so che ultimamente mi affaccio al blog solo per spillare qualcosa, sms solidali, campagne airc o telefono azzurro.... però se avete tempo e voglia di leggere una paginetta e di firmare la relativa petizione on-line, vi lascio i riferimenti.

Se poi volete fare girare..... i bimbi del Pesciolino ringraziano !!! :D

100 anni di IBM - Corporate Service Corps

2011-03-21T13:49:16+01:00

Corporate Service Corps

The IBM Corporate Service Corps (CSC) program was launched in 2008 to create leadership development opportunities for IBMers while delivering expertise-based service for the communities and organizations in emerging markets.

To date 1000 IBMers have participated in CSC projects that tackle issues from local economic development, entrepreneurship, transportation and education, to government services, healthcare and disaster recovery.

Corporate Service Corps teams now serve in over twenty countries around the world.

100 anni di IBM - The IBM Punched Card

2011-03-21T13:46:19+01:00

The IBM Punched Card

From the beginning of tabulation, stiff rectangular cards punched with holes became the way data was recorded and stored.

As IBM grew to dominate data processing by the 1920s, its cards—which only worked on IBM machines and vice-versa—became the global industry standard.

In 1928, IBM improved on the cards’ design so more data could be stored on a single card.

From the 1950s through about 1970, IBM punched cards were the primary way corporations and governments stored and accessed information, making the cards the most durable, successful data storage medium since the book.

100 anni di IBM - The First Corporate Pure Science Research Laboratory

2011-03-21T13:42:27+01:00

The First Corporate Pure Science Research Laboratory

“Think” was at the core of Watson’s being.

In 1944, he established the Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory at Columbia University, the first corporate laboratory dedicated to pure scientific research.

There, a handful of scientists used machines previously dedicated to accounting to investigate everything from atomic fission to the orbit of the moon.

Embedding IBM within a university helped to develop a diverse new field of thinkers.

Today, eight IBM labs work with government and university research labs worldwide.

This new model of “collaboratories” allows the company to stretch its budget and access some of the best minds on the planet.

100 anni di IBM - Dram

DRAM

The Invention of On-Demand Data

In the mid-1960s, IBM researcher Bob Dennard developed the world’s first one-transistor memory, calling it “dynamic random access memory,” or DRAM. Finally, mainframes could be outfitted with short-term memory to act as a buffer to the data stored on disk drives.

The memory chips would hold information the computer was working on right then, so it could go back to the disk drive only when it needed something new.

This vastly sped up the process of accessing and using stored information.

DRAM instantly made computer memory smaller, denser and cheaper, all while requiring less power.
